We could get info on bloody Ronaldo & there'd be a moaning contingent
Well if we're recruiting players on the basis of their human qualities we could do worse than the Dalai Lama up front providing competition to Kane & Aung San Suu Kyi in the DM role as back up to Dier.Not sure thats the best person to pick as he is quite easy to dislike as a human but
I have already read on more than one baffling occasion that some would not want our very own gareth back
Beyond belief really.
That's better than a lot of my relatives could manage.
JJ unaware if Wanyama is close and thinks there's better out there
Mentioned the striker position so I think that might be the closest

hey that's me. don't know how I feel about this
You give nowhere near enough respect or credit to the art and talent of defending. It's obvious in your various Walker diatribes, your opposition to the Alderweireld signing and everywhere in this post. What makes positional awareness, discipline, reading of the play and timing in the tackle any less valuable than the 'footballing' talents that you so revere? It's not a case of just teaching a player whose inclinations are to be ball players to 'defend a bit better' or be a busy **** (whatever the fuck that means), there is an entire skill set involved with playing in that area of the pitch that can't just be taught to 'footballers' over night.See my answer below. We don't have a single other striker here who could do the job Kane does. But I have repeatedly said I don't expect us to. Signing a player with his ready made all round skill set and attitude would be almost impossible. I have said that's one of the reasons I'd not be fussed if we didn't sign Batshuayi but would rather sign someone like Embolo who could develop into a "kane" role but in the meantime can also fulfil other remits in the attack.
I don't get why all of a sudden Mason, a player who helped us achieve a higher placed finish in the league than Wanyama did at Southampton, despite Wanyama having a superior coach, some excellent players players (including some we wanted to pay good money for) like Schniederlin, Rodriguez, Lallana, Lovren, Shaw, Clyne etc. and Mason playing next to a 20yo rookie an ever changing defence with the likes of Fazio and a a very green and in some cases lazy (Townsend/Chadli) front four, is now considered an inferior CM to Wanyama. Mason was playing really well before getting a serious injury, he then came back into a team that was already stuttering, carrying an injury after barely playing any meaningful consistent games.
Although I think Onomah would be better in a CM3, I think I'd even rather see him given more time in a CM2 than spend money on Wanyama to sit on our bench. Or Lesniak even, kids a right little busy **** and he can play a bit too.
We read glowing testimony from Schneiderlin about how Poch developed his game, we have very talented players here already who need that developing. I'd rather very good footballers like Mason or Onomah are taught how to defend a bit better because we are never going to teach Wanyama how to be a more intelligent footballer.

@tobywallace5 you ask me 100 questions & the probability is that I will answer one! I hope we aren't close to Wanyama as better out there.

DJ THFC @danieljohn4 10h10 hours ago
@jetsetyid I warned you though
The original JJetset @jetsetyid 10h10 hours ago
@danieljohn4 has anyone in there said anything about a striker yet
DJ THFC @danieljohn4 10h10 hours ago
@jetsetyid it's gone cold for the striker ITK. You seem to be the main man for that. Although there are reports of Batshuayi bid going in?
The original JJetset @jetsetyid 10h10 hours ago
@danieljohn4 it has gone cold as we are very tight lipped
DJ THFC @danieljohn4 10h10 hours ago
@jetsetyid is it the Batman?
The original JJetset @jetsetyid 9h9 hours ago
@danieljohn4 have I ever disclosed anything that could compromise
I'm not sure there's better out there who won't demand a first team place. Dier is the no1 cm. He's a superstar
Doesn't twatter have a no pestering rule? Blimey.
