If Murray at the very end of his career at 33, then where does that leave Defoe who is 13 months older than poor old Glenn. .

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.

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 ?

Is Glenn going to be suspended for the City game?

The consensus of one said no
According to Hughton in the match report no
...Thank **** for that ... we need BOTH strikers fit and available!

And why is the picked upon and Reading target Tomer Hemed "less mobile than last year" . Is that because he's er, turned 30 over the summer ?
Agreed that Sammy Baldock is still injury prone. Poor lad.
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 !!
Errr...
I'll believe it when I see it, thank you very much...

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.
