Funny how Chelsea ended up with a perfect foil for Kane in Bats and we ended up with a perfect foil for Morata in Llorente, that's they're fault.

Great player. Not at all even remotely used in a way that I thought we would when signing him. A complete waste of a transfer, he should've been able to play at his best for some other club.

Does anyone remember when we bought him? It was all of a sudden and it came after a couple games when we had a lot of corners and possesion yet struggled to score. I just think after those couple of games we thought he could of scored with all those corners so he will make a good plan B.

He was fantastic away against Real Madrid. He has hardly played, and when he has he's tried to play to our strength instead of us playing to his. We looked a different team once Dele was on for him at the weekend as we suddenly had the personnel on to suit how we were trying to play.

to be honest it is not all lloretes fault but his confidence has gone and we dont play to his strengths

My favourite one was when a poster wanted Hernandez from West Ham as our backup striker. Oh yeah, that was you.

Llorente wouldn’t be missed. No point waiting until the end of the season to see if we ever decide to plonk a ball on his head.

Sadly I agree.

Twice now we have tried a straight number nine as backup to Kane. Due to Kane clearly being first choice I don'tthink this works.

A young striker can hardly develop when he is going to get few minutes on the pitch and an intense amount of attention everytime he does play.

Even experienced strikers need minutes on the pitch to perform.

Our only option I feel is an inside forward type who can play as one of the attacking mids most of the time and fill in on the few occasions when needed up front.

My mate is a West Ham supporter and he reckons he is the worst buy they have ever made. And that is some competition
Mishandled by a shite club and has had to play with dogshit players.

Would be effective with our lot around him.

We/poch would bring the best out of him instead of having it sapped out of him at the caravan club.

Love the way you get in early and make predictions about every player then go back and bump the ones that match whilst letting the ones that don't slip away unnoticed. Lets not forget some of your other gems:

"Kane is a decent player, but not gonna be good enough for where we wanna be imo. 4th striker maybe."

"Eriksen frequently makes bad decisions and too many side passes."

Plus his wanting Wimmer instead of Vertonghen. Yeah got a real football genius here.

lol Obsessed with me much?

Tons of people were sceptical about Kane on here and everywhere else. He surprised nearly everyone.

Re. Eriksen, Yeah, damn fucking right he did and still does, but has improved the ratio to the positive; has learned to battle more and run abaaat a bit.

When Verts was injured and Wimmer stood in for him he was impeccable and lauded on here for his form. Verts has become much more consistent in the last couple seasons and has put in more MoM performances than any other time he's been with us.

Anything else, fanboy?

Obsessed? Someone else provided the links.

It's just funny that you have made a big thing about going through old posts to laugh at people then get really touchy when someone does it to you.
