Window Cleaner

So he is, had a haircut has he?

Complete with new mauve/lilac/purple boots no less. Don't remember seeing José, probably just flicked through the gallery too fast though. Nope, no Victor, no José...aie aie aie. Hope they're just having a day off or something.

Justly, Jaaskeleinen made some good saves didn't he ? Always plays blinders against Saints.

Absolutely, it's easier for me to get to Warsaw or Zagreb(and probably a damn site cheaper, haven't checked though) than it is to SMS. I shall make a point of going to every game.

Although good strikers are on 150K€ a week nowadays.

I don't think you're allowed to slag Pellè off like that, however true it may be. He is not quick and not sharp just now. Remi Garde picked up on it during the Swansea match, said he has to make more effort to get to where the ball is or will be and not just hang about on the off chance that it will stray his way.

Sooner rather than later I hope. Maybe even in next week-end's training gallery. The old pre-injury JRod would have a field day with all these good balls coming in from wide positions, Pellè doesn't seem to be able to get on to many of them.

That would really be excellent news, a boost just when we need one.

Castle Black then.

Here's one for you "tête de teub", look it up, oft used when certain languedoc dwellers start giving their advice.

I thought that, wtf are they teaching in overpriced british unis these days, sounds like the sort of bolloaks I knocked up in the bike sheds when gracing Taunton's second form.

Nope, go for broke there's no difference between 5th and 7th anyway apart from a few quid. In either case you don't make the CL and you get the consolation prize.

I see that we have a 2 day friendly at the end of March this year, cricket is gradually creeping forward then. Makes it just a day or so over 6 weeks to the start of the season.

Unless of course they're trying to politely point out that we are not, in fact, playing to our strengths.

"Burnley were clearly better except in front of goal"...well yeah that's why Utd pay 4 strikers a combined total of somewhere around 1 million £ a week. See their chart shows us as less likely to make the top 4 than Utd, that would just go to prove once again that if you don't have a striker on at least 100K a week you don't make the CL.

Still both a total waste of good money though. Imagine where we might be if we'd invested the 12 million or so that we paid for Long in obtaining the services of a prolific striker. 26 million £ for 5 goals isn't much of a return.

Probably in less games as well.

Doubt it, they're out of our price range.

In fact Pellè has actually scored in 6 out of 25 league games this season so I really don't know what people expect from him. Bloke is no Aguero or Suarez, you just have to accept that.

South Americans who succeed in top class English football are few and far between, for every Aguero and Suarez there are 3 or 4 no hopers lured by the exceptional salaries on offer.

Well not signing South Americans might be a start, RK doesn't seem to rate them anyway so we might be OK for a while. WGS hated them, had no time for S.Ams whatsoever, pity we'd just paid 3 million odd £ for a duff one.

Boca is his 12 th club in 10 years, no-one can handle him, at Espanyol he was obviously in a good phase of his life but he only stayed about a season and a half there anyway. English football was too intense for him, said so himself.

Perfectly acceptable behaviour in Argentina though.

Doesn't he want far too much money? In fact so much that prospective employers could get a real manager for the same sum.

Here's the article, comes from OPTA perhaps. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/31428316
