We arent built for a clinical finisher, and besides, to utilise one you need to create chances. Against the teams that sit back we just dont create enough chances so having an overpaid Hernandez hanging around isnt going to change much that end. I hope we could do better than Austin too, but as I said, at the right price we'll get a good player IMO

Tbh of all of the rumours (ings, hernandez etc) I think Austin is the one that would suit us more. Id certainly be happy if he came here. Id rather have someone that could lead the line better but I think for the right price he'd be a good buy

So Im right then, you have no actual arguement to what I said ? Ill let you get back to your easter eggs and homework sunshine

You realise that wasnt a very smart response ?

Because suggesting we are going to have a huge summer overhaul again is realistically a smart post ? We got away with it this year, but it doesnt happen very often. Besides, you are suggesting selling JWP and Davis on top of losing Morgan. It wont happen.

Why not ? He was angling a move away from Villa last year, and since they've been pretty terrible. He is realistically the only european class player they have and would be an upgrade on what we have.

You realise this isnt the football manager thread ?

For the City arguement, of course we can cause them trouble, all three of the teams below them can. Realistically though I think Spurs have shot their bolt. They just dont seem to be dangerous whenever Ive watched them recently and are currently pretty poor at the back (that said watch them roll us over) Liverpool are the most likely, thats just obvious. They have more quality to their squad then we do in reality, they need the win tonight to get them back on to winning ways however. City themselves are in a bit of a mess right now. Ive kept saying to myself that they'll regroup at some point but it just hasnt happened. Its as though they've given up, and thats dangerous at this stage in the league. I can genuinely see them falling out of the top four to be replaced by us or liverpool tbh

It really wasnt bizarre was it ? I never thought we would be relegated but I had this season down as being a real struggle. Add to this the amount of pundits and general footballing commenatators in various facets of the media that had us as potential relegation fodder shows that the situation was very much against us. If I was asked the potential future of any other team in our position in the summer Id still say they would struggle. New board, new manager and massive change of footballing personel late into pre-season ? Its an incredible... INCREDIBLE effort to get us to where we are. To say it is bizarre to say we could get relegated at the time is short sighted over optimistic ********.

Nearly as good as my volley against watford

His movement in and around the box is pretty poor for a top level striker tbh and for all of his ariel prowess he generally gives the ball away far too easily. Add to this his almost complete lack of composure. He isnt as bad as some make out, but if we have real top 6 ambitions we need a better option

I saw him last year and he wasnt good enough, id more than welcome him to prove me wrong but on last years showing I cant see him being good enough

Reminds me of my first paper round...

Which (and I know many will disagree) is what we should be paying our top earners IF we are genuinely looking to be a top 6 side of any consistancy.

Surely he wont stay there now. And realistically, the top 6, with the exemption of maybe a Balotelliless Liverpool or spurs, not really needing him its worth getting in the hunt ? Imo he is exactly what we miss

I know I say it every year... But... Benteke please

Have you tried both the VGA and the HDMI port for video ?

No other beeps than ? Just 1 beep after a time ? Does it power down ?

The beeps will be an error code generated by the motherboard. 2 major things would be to make sure you have inserted first the TAM correctly and secondly ensure you have inserted the CPU without bending any pins etc

Id also take barkley and possibly coleman.

This really. We dominated possession, defended pretty well in reality (apart from the corner) and had enough chances. Howard had a good game and like you point out we just arent ruthless enough in fromt of goal, but then we cant habe everything really. I personally think we are a top striker away from being a very solid team. And considering the mess we were in pre-season thats pretty good going

Jwp didnt look too bad against everton, I rate the lad in that role, he needs to bulk up a bit but his movement and passing are improving (they were already good) alternatively we may have Davis back ? Or even play Tadic, Manè and long behind pellè, or leave Pellè out, replace long with him and play ellia in one of the wide berths. All in all I dont see the requirement to play our best CM out of position, he is far too important in transition and besides I can see us 'resting' Wanyama this weekend anyway.

Yeah, and that fee may have been achieveable at a lesser prive should we not have had to pay bournemouth

Its a pretty typical Glasgow alt account, same as Yuki, abiz yizaz (spelling?) and bournemouth saint

Technically it would have been the same. We wanted a figure, bournemouth had a definate fee. So we upped the price to ensure we got what we wanted. Without the bournemouth fee we would have realistically recieved the same, but the overall value of the transfer would likely have been less.
