Why don't we stick BUCKLEY up front ?

Seriously.

CMS and Buckley up front in a 4-4-2 would be MUSTARD. Forget Billy the Flid, he can cock off back to Leeds sharpish. Put Buckley up front with CMS, with Noone and KLL on the flanks, and you're looking at GOAL CENTRAL.

Buckley has strength, pace, height and composure in front of goal. He's already proved he's a natural finisher.

If anyone can convincingly tell me why this is NOT a good idea, then I will eat my own thumbs.

I have been saying this on NSC for about a month. 3 shots, 3 goals.

Admittedly I'm a little slow, but glad to have caught up with you.

Its a no brainer isn't it ? The seed was sown when I read an interview with Buckley recently and he said he'd started out as a striker, before being converted to a winger at Watford.

It's a good shout.

As much as I'd love to argue, I couldn't live with myself if you ate your thumbs.

I have visions of Mr Easy dunking his bacon wrapped thumbs into cranberry sauce on Christmas Day. :(

This, this for Christ sakes THIS! Have been saying this to my mate and a few of the people we sit with, just in my opinion anyways, even when he has come on as a winger, we look a completely different team, much more attacking and direct with the way he runs at defenders.

Well I'm sorry. I'm just going to keep bouncing this thread like a TWAT until it happens.
