HOW MANY TIMES POCHETTINO DOES NOT ONLY PLAY ONE UP FRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guys do some research and look at Southampton games from last season......... He mostly played LAMBERT and RODRIGUEZ and on a number of occasions played LAMBERT, RODRIGUEZ and OSVALDO before he started fighting his team mates!!
You do realize that Rodriguez and Osvaldo played LWF when playing with Lambert right? Only time Osvaldo played as a striker was when Lambert didnt play. I saw a fair bit and I dont ever remember seeing '2 up top' in the sense of an oldschool strike partnership.

I understand and I would play Bony in the main striker role and other strikers or attacking midfielders supporting him depending on the opposition. All our current strikers appear to be flexible even Soldado. Anyway looks like we need a homegrown player to fill this role as we already have 17 non homegrown and I would rather not lose anyone. So looks like Welbeck or Rodriguez in January are the best options.

I don`t see your point as none of those players are anywhere near the 25 man premier league squad!!
Those three will be loaned or sold...


Anyway looks like Holtby is offto Hamburg...

Yet you count at least one of them in the 17 non homegrown players in our first team squad.

What about Falcao to United, Soldado to Monaco and Welbeck and Bony to United...

I just don't rate this guy, not in our team at least. He just seems to lack any finesse. He would score no doubt and provide us with the physicality that we lack, but he is a bit agricultural!

Some SSNHQ person: We have been interested in Wilfried Bony.
Logical, we lack goals in the team, bottom line Bony scores them. Ade offers hold up play and that is about it, apart from the odd nice goal. Bony has the ability to hold it up, plus the quickness of feet to actually drop a shoulder and get a shot off.

Apparently Bony is really lazy though...

Again we've left ourselves with limited options for a problem we've had for 2 years.

criminal really only striker we got in was Soldado with the Bale Money and all the others midfielders and defenders when goals win games!! way too many similar players at the club..

@LyallThomas: #Tottenham interest in Bony was some time ago... not today. Remains to be seen whether that may change after missing out on Welbeck #THFC

His agent just told SSN that there's a 0.001% chance that he'll leave this window and that the last club to show interest is Tottenham.

The people in charge of our club look to have no clue what they are doing!!

OR, and stick with me here, the people in charge of our club are doing what the guy in charge of the actual team each week has requested?

None of us know what's going on behind the scenes, or what has been asked of our board by our head coach. So perhaps that should be taken into account before blindly laying any unnecessary blame at the feet of anyone?
