Podcasts are great for commutes. Beats the crap normally found on the radio (not to mention the bloody adverts).

All we need to do is find another Mane to play alongside him and he'll start scoring again.

If Austin stays healthy this season.

That's what I was telling myself before last season. And the season before that when we had Austin, JRod and Long as our striker options.

I'm hopeful they'll have finally sussed it out before then. Oh wait, you said days not months.

I would say that the donkey proved himself.

This is the key. But not just to benefit the defense. A dangerous goal-scorer lifts the whole team.

Please don't quote Glasgow. A lot of us have him on ignore to avoid those irritating animated gifs. Ta.

If Welbeck's record was better we wouldn't have a chance of getting him. He's a decent but not world-class striker, the best we could hope for as a well-established international (English to boot). Of course it would be great to unearth another Mane, but the odds are slim on that.

Indeed. A lot of reputations are on the line here.

To answer your question:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Welbeck#International_goals I'd be very happy if Saints can get him. We're not going to get Agüero or Kane.

I refuse to make predictions before the window closes.

The third goal in particular. I mean, WTF?

16 goals in 40 England appearances. Good enough for me.

Maybe this was Sparky's cunning plan to get Mr. Gao to loosen the purse strings a bit further.

If we don't bring in a goal-scoring target man it'll be madness. If we don't bring in a goal-scoring target man and sell/loan out Gallagher it'll be stark raving lunacy. Again.

Far be it for me to defend Liverpool, but I think Roma should be unhappy with Roma for the Salah transfer fee. Just like we should be over what we got for Mane.

No, I reckon we're going after that tall Danish CB instead.

I'd be happy. Can't see him coming to a club our size though, or that we'd afford his wages.

If we can bring in a goal-scoring frontman I agree he should do better than the previous two in terms of goals.

It was a clear handball that prevented the ball from going across goal. Also the Croatian first goal came from a free kick from a non-existent foul. On top of that Kante then got a totally unjustified yellow, which restricted him from then on (and led to him being substituted). Croatia's other goal was a gift. France are worthy champions.
