if he did that would be very nice. Obviously you don't know at 20 million, but the same could be said for any sort of fee around there. Agree 100% that developing the squad is what's important, but I think we both have quite different ideas of what that could look like. Not drastically...

maybe I'm just naïve, but I honestly believe if we had that other 8-12 goal player there would be much less clamour for a top, top striker. to be honest, most people I've seen on here are suggesting the likes of Diaz or Ings, neither whom are that kind of elite player (not to say either of them...

Specifically I mentioned 12 goals, 10 players scored more than that last season, so no it is not top six of premier league strikers. Okay, look at those players and a lot aren't affordable, but beneath that you have to go to the 26th highest scorer in the league before you're below double...

we can argue the semantics of where trossard plays as people have done season after season but ultimately our out-and-out strikers have scored zero goals this season. also, yes he's taken a while to reach this sort of form, but you could clearly see his talent from the outset when he scored...

tell you what, if we had signed Nunez there'd be a thread or two on his finishing by now

Yes I would say he probably does get more stick than most, probably unduly, end of the day though his mistakes happen in the final third with his finishing, so those are always going to attract more attention because missed chances are what people will often look to when asking themselves why a...

Need him back on the pitch in order to do that, which is hopefully soon! Wele's game has never really been about goals, and I think it's unfair for him to shoulder the burden for the whole front line, which he would be if undav leaves and fergie goes on loan, hence I think there is a possibility...

Hey, I'm not saying its an easy task, particularly since the striker market at the moment hasn't seen as many quality 'no. 9s' come off the production line, as you say. I actually don't mind what kind of forward we're looking for, I just think having someone else contributing a few goals...

honestly I don't think so, look at some of the other players scapegoated over the years such as Bong, Schelotto, Maupay, so i dont think its necessaryily a homegrown thing, at least not for most people. obviously being a new signing buys you a bit of time, but if they were finishing like Solly...

Did you miss the part where I said this will probably change this season or did you choose not to read it? I've got no issue with the midfield anymore. Problem was always them not contributing enough goals, thats been different this season. And the bollocks is saying these players will cost us...

up until last night he had 3/3 career penalties. which is a good record, but a ridiculously small sample size. regardless of the numbers, though, he's obviously in the midst of a confidence crisis, so still the wrong call imo

yeah all this "we can't spend £70M in fees and £30M in wages" is ridiculous hyperbole. almost as bad as lallana saying a player of welbecks quality would cost £80M. just complete bollocks. nobody, outside from a select few, is asking for that. since Hughton left we've had a player get into...

point taken but even in games where he isn't taking chances welbeck is at least linking up and bringing the others into play. undav is a total passenger when not on the end of chances, and he isn't physically imposing enough to bully centre backs like muzza or ulloa. first and foremost, I'd be...

you know I was thinking like that at the start of the season, and I obviously do still want him to score, but there does come a point where it needs to be acknowledged that his finishing ability is not befitting of a premier league footballer, as opposed to just calling it bad luck every time...

watched the game with my folks, and as bad as it sounds, we were actually laughing as he went up to take it. not at him, just that the inevitable certainty at what was to happen. there wasn't one nanosecond where anyone thought anything else would happen. almost looked like he knew it himself

reckon we could go back for that enes ünal fella we were linked with in the summer

not disagreeing re. Undav but how have you been able to come to that conclusion about RDZ so quickly?

majestic bit of cheating

really don't understand why we'd put the worst finisher in the team up for the crucial penalty

just very half-arsed all round today. far too safe in possession, quality nowhere to be found when we did get into those critical areas
