Straight off the cricket ground :clap2:

Bang on the money. As excited as we all our about the conveyer belt of young talent coming through, there will always be the need to strike a careful balance in terms of promoting youth vs bringing in more “ready made” recruits to cover any outgoings.

Any idea why he’s started the last 4 games in a row (each of which Rob’s been in the squad for) if there’s “a lot of doubt around him” as you say? :mad:

In terms of playing style he is EXACTLY the type of striker we don’t have. A pure poacher.

Agreed with that. Furthermore, for a squad that has a lot of players that are quite new to the Premier League, having a striker with 250+ appearances at this level is also something not to be overlooked. Any replacement purchase almost definitely will not have that.

Leeds are another example of a team who’ve taken the vast majority of their points from teams below them in the table (there’s just a few more of them..)

Welbeck’s by far. The elusive second goal that we rarely manage to produce. Also the manner in which he dispatched it - very similar position to Trossard’s but ever so slightly more emphatic.

Paul Ince and/or Dennis Wise I remember being quite strongly linked towards the latter Withdean years. Probably a similar sort of time as Jim Gannon.

Yeah it’s like they’ve used some automated reactionary NSC post-match thread generator. A lot of the ingredients there but it’s come out slightly muddled.
