Why? Just because it's not out in the media. How often do our procreation dept gob off about their targets. I admire the way they manage to keep schtum. I'll hold out hope until the plump lady sings.

Sounds like he's joining Burnley.

Spot on. Most teams are after a central striker, but there's just not that many of them around, which means their prices are even more inflated. We've got four forwards at the moment, which will see us through. If we can get someone else (e.g. Murray on a 93-day loan) that'll make a difference, then we should go for it but, if not, let's wait until the summer when I back CH, PW, etc to identify the best option(s) available in the circumstances.

Ta. And good answer. Will Pritchard be the one that secures that second place for you?
And as to us, I'm about to launch a number of ifs:
-- if Bong and Rosenoir are back soon
-- if Knockaert, Stephens, Kayal and LuaLua remain fit
-- if Wilson increasingly continues to find the net
-- if we get another top striker (e.g. Murray)
... then I think we might make it into the play-offs.
At the start of the season, I backed Boro and Hull for automatics and you to go up in the play-offs. I might change my mind if we're playing you in the finals

Good as he is we do not need him IMHO. For the doubters we will finish up 2nd as .I am convinced.that we will go on a good run again.
We are using a procreation department to get us a new striker? Blimey, can we really afford to wait about twenty years for their efforts to mature? I think that even the academy might possibly produce a result quicker than that!Why? Just because it's not out in the media. How often do our procreation dept gob off about their targets.

I don't know but I believe that he's just come back from an injury so it will take time for him to get up to speed.
There's still plenty of football to be played and we've got Boro and Hull to play at home yet. If we carry on playing how we have been doing recently then we can get in the automatic spots.

Twenty years? WTF has 20 years got to do with anything? Quite often you can't buy your ideal replacement (or target) until his host club have a suitable replacement. And what with the nature of bluff and double bluff, it drags out to the very end. This is why the last day of the transfer window eclipses every other day in terms of deals done.

I think you may have missed his subtle joke:
"Procreate: To procreate is to reproduce. In other words, to procreate is a more formal way of saying "making babies."

Not seen such Bravery!
This is a good attitude. We are just 1 point below Burnley, yet a lot of us have already waved the white flag, and deemed automatic promotion impossible.
We need more of the Burnley outlook.
Cheers! Is this where we suggest he should be 'Whooshed'?
