Maybe benteke has a fast flexible striking acquaintance? Appreciate the info as always but if this is really an option for a team seriously looking to compete then I think I'm done with football

I have recently praised Daniel. He has a major decision to make, if I were him I would make it and pay the money for that forward. If not ramblings? Nah, that won't happen will it? I am
very serious. Poch wants a fast flexible striker-Period!:barefoot:

I was told to put it out there:censored:

Ooooh Herc you tease, you're making my knickers tingle :D

Benteke is on £120k a week. We are not going to pay him them type of wages to warm the bench.

I don't know why, call it a hunch, but I get the feeling that if it's a choice between 'paying the money' and trying to get an alternative option on the cheap, we'll probably plump for the latter.

Buy cheap, you buy twice (or three times including the N'brothers) as that area hasnt been addressed.

As true as that is, leave things late and panic and you buy expensive shit (Sissoko). I sincerely hope we've got agreements for players with the clubs but just need to pull the trigger.

thanks Herc for the cheering up after a pretty depressing performance. We need to start rotating our FB/WBs pretty soon.

None of the front four have any pressure on their places, and they played like it. We need to add some depth, when they are collectively that bad they need to be hooked...

I agree with you Mr. King. Unfortunately, Levy definitely has previous in this regard. More worryingly still, Hercules just "winnered" your comment.

Didn't we have ITK that Sissoko was a last-minute panic signing because Poch was getting frustrated at not been provided with his priority signings?

Same case this year then!

What does this bit mean?

I think it means if DL doesn't do the right thing and cough up for the pacy striker we need, there will be rumblings... ie rumblings of discontent because Poch wants a fast flexible sriker-Period. Which sounds a bit like Poch getting towards ultimatum level with Levy...

Herc's comment about being "told to put it out there" also sounds like people wanting some pressure on Levy.

If all this works out and Daniel buys us all a lovely pacy forward, we'll be ok. But Herc's info makes it sound like we could be in a whole load of trouble if not. We are sunk without Poch...

Hercules 'liked' this comment....
I don't understand, everything was supposed to be going to plan this window. Not having a go but how can it all be so positive last week to it all going tits up within a matter of days. We were told not to panic & everything will be all good!

Oh dear.
Not panicing (yet) Herc, I trust you! :)

We don't seem to learn though.

Utd under Fergie (when they has a class team, not too dissimilar to our current position) spent their money on ONE top notch player every season to go in and improve the first XI.

We however go out and buy three or four players, that could be good, at around £10-15m in today's money. double/treble that on Sissoko.

End result - minus £50m with no players that can impact first XI football.

Surely, surely to goodness now is the time to scrap this sodding about with average players and as Herc has said, go out and buy a top top player that will actually do us some good. Spend the money and get them in for preseason training and the first three games, so we don't end up in the ridiculous situation of 4points from 3games with a hacked off coach, players and fans.

One player like this every season, in a position we identify has got to be better use of the same amount of money, given our current position, on and off the pitch.

To be fair we look to have done that with Sanchez, but right now we're screaming out for some pace and athletic creativity.
