You do realise that not everyone's body wears at that same speed? I'm sure you're intentionally obtuse at times.

If thats the case then the way GM exerts himself, he's probably got another decade left in him at the top level.

Defoe is a physically far superior athlete to Glenn which is what he's referring to. I assume you're in jest though!

Yep. Lazy Glenn and all that. I get it.
Nope its the assertion out of nowhere by OP that Glenn is at the "very end of his career" . Is he ? Really ?

I love Glenn, but he's definitely in his twilight years. Having said that he's never had any pace and he certainly has the nous to score goals in the Premier League.

Is Glenn going to be suspended for the City game?

The consensus of one said no
According to Hughton in the match report no

Anymore than two just being greedy...
On a serious note it shows how we are one injury/suspension away from a real problem

Quick someone tell Usain Bolt he still has a few years left in him yet at 30, Michael Johnson was winning gold when he was in his early 30's.
Defoe is a different athlete to GM. Hemed is unlikely to get quicker as he gets older.
I haven't picked on Hemed, I think he will do alright for us this year, but you can't stop him getting another year older. My point is we need strikers, if we don't get them this season we will need at least 2 next year for the championship so we might as well get them this year and increase our chances of staying up. Goals win games.

Don't worry as we have been Premier League ready for a number of years now and to quote Mr Barber back in February,that he has been planning for our being in the Premier League since that date, because he goes on to say that "If you start planning in May you will be in trouble" So if he says we will be ready, then he has already got a striker or two lined up to give us a chance of staying up.

I think that when the games start and we start shipping goals there will be a bit of a change of emphasis to defensive cover in midfield and who needs replacing at the back. There is nothing more demoralising than letting in goals whatever quality of attacker you are. Wonder strikes and wonder goals will be no good if we are 3 down !!

Similarly, a lot of pressure on a team and defence, if your team lacks goals. Knowing that to leak a goal first and that's an uphill struggle in a match.

It would be nice to believe it and that it is not just all hot air.
This is the speech he made, which could be interesting come August the 31st
