Pastor Patrón

Wiki says "despite making just one goalless appearance as England failed to progress past the Euro 1992 group stages that summer,[13] Shearer was soon subject to a British transfer record-breaking £3.3million[inconsistent] bid from Blackburn Rovers". No idea if it's right though

Not got the foggiest, going back a bit far for me, quite interested to know who it would be now!

Nope doesn't look like it according to wiki

Absolutely incredible, promotions aside that's the only moment that can compare with Le Tiss' last goal at the Dell. When was the last time a Saints player scored for England?

Is anwhere offering odds on Lambert to score? Can't see it on Ladbrokes or Skybet.

This, it seems about right, Rooney would cost about £30mill but has a better record and is more marketable.

He's gonna get 5 mins at the end, not passed the ball once and then everyone will say he's not up to international standard. We all know that's how sh#ts gonna go down.

I'd like, Osvaldo, Banega and Papadopoulus please.

Can't see it happening as much as I'd love it to, I thought we had more chance of signing Damiao. Slightly worried that if we don't pull it off it wont leave us time to bring in another target.

I have faith in their ability and Gaston will do whatever he wants anyway.

Yes it is, I like to live on the edge. I think they'd be better wing backs if you want to call it that then Fox and Chambers would be fullbacks.

That's gotta be one of the worst forward lines in the league, I feel comfortable letting Fonte, Lovren and Yosh take care of them.

They won because of Lukaku, let's be honest, Anelka is balls, the hell are they gonna do.

We have that approach anyway though regardless of how many we play at the back. We're lairy as f#ck no matter who we play and frankly it gives me a semi.

Herp de derp, we can't play 3 at the back because we're not Barcelona ^ No such think as too gung ho bro.

He wouldn't need to, he'd have Cork and Schneiderlin alongside him, with Puncheon and Rodriguez providing further cover.

Strong argument is strong.

We didn't have Wanyama then.

I'd rather dominate the middle of the park then risk playing an untested 18 (?) yr old and Fox, they'd essentially be a waste of space. If Clyne's fit by all means they should play the usual.

It's exactly what we're aiming for though, that much is extremely obvious.

So it's a crazy system that happens to be adopted by the most successful team in recent history?

They're providing cover against wingers, as could one of the spare central 3, 3-5-2 isn't rocket science. No, it says they were better then us last season.

No, Puncheon and Rodriguez are half decent at providing cover and with that midfield they'd be seeing sod all of the ball anyway. We're better then them, they can adapt to us.

I neither know whether you're being sarcastic, or care.

Off the top of my head Soldado would've been nice.
