But in terms of strikers, we've got rid of Zequiri and Tau (borderline striker/winger) since last season. And turned down the possibility of Andone rejoining. And not added anyone.
So this part of the team is unquestionably weaker, or – if you're being charitable – "not any better".
But that's...
So?
We've been binning off strikers left, right and centre, and now only have a couple left.
Anyone evens mentions 'Brighton' and we immediately loan them a striker or two. Couldn't Benfica be the same to us?
The missus really wanted to see him, so we once went to a concert at Hampden Park.
Have to say, he did perform his heart out.
I’m not really into ‘big stadium shows’ - more of a ‘band doing a gig’ person - but it was impressive.
Completely agree.
Fine, he wanted to move on, thanks and goodbye.
But if I was him, I’d rather have gone elsewhere or held out for longer than jump at Arsenal.
Smacks of his agent chasing the cash and nothing else.
Arsenal are a mess compared to most of the other big clubs around, and...
Don't forget the Maupay to Everton chat, too.
All is on course.
We now just need is Welbz to develop his regular long-term injury, and then we can spend the season with DJ Strollabout as our sole striker.
Like others, Joy Division and Bob Marley both spring to mind.
Also sad I never saw the Go-Betweens in the classic line-up, with Lindy and Amanda. Saw a later incarnation twice, plus a Robert/Grant acoustic set, but the chance has definitely gone now.
I’d rather Connolly goes on loan than Swiss Andy.
I really want Aaron to come good, but it just seems so obvious he needs a season in the Championship (or similar) to develop him. It just seems too big an ask to expect him to both grow his potential AND perform now in the PL. We developed Ben...
Shame when any club struggles, but personally I’ve always found speedway a strange sport. It seems like 99.9% of races are decided by who gets to the first corner first. Then they just go round in a procession for a bit.
