I don't see many people claiming that he is the answer to all our problems, merely that he has had a good loan, has looked impressive for England and would add something different to our attacking options without us spending a shit load of cash.

It doesn't even matter. If they've payed for, signed and closed the deal without doing a medical, that's their problem.
There has been a lot of people suggesting that we don't need to imrpove on our wide positions because we have Pritchard coming back. All I'm saying is that people need to lower their exectations for him as there is a high chance that he won't even hit Andros Townsend levels.
I'm not saying everyone thinks this, and I'm not saying everyone thinks a good wide player isn't a priority. But despite Chadli's purple patch last year, Erik Lamela is still our most effective wide player, and that is a huge worry considering the majority thinks of him as not good enough for us it seems.
Spurs being linked with Moses, Kono and Redmond is a very good thing as they will provide us with some solid direct options. We have plenty of subtle players, but only one real "GIMME THE BALL SO I CAN RUN" type of player, and he spent half the season at Everton when he really should have been playing for us and giving us something different.
Well at least this does give some credit to the "ITKS" because they've all said all along that we weren't signing him.
Some even suggested nobody would sign him because Dnipro's owner would straight up murder him if he didn't sign a new contract....

because poch is very touche. likes to alienate players.
Very touche? Like when someone has a brilliant comeback? Touche!
what brilliant comeback???
Note 'some' only one - and he has plenty of prior history around hereSome even suggested nobody would sign him because Dnipro's owner would straight up murder him if he didn't sign a new contract....
:adelol::bentaleblol::eriksenlol::kaboullol:
i thought he already played for them
Apologies - gone FROM Porto to Atletico Madrid
Amazing how one major striker move can set a whole chain of transfers - Dybala > Tevez > Mandzukic > Martinez
Soldado to Porto?
:soldadolol:
not accepted! kidding.
top player. they basically have swapped mandukic for jackson.
thats an upgrade.
mirandas gone to inter.
I'd be very surprised if no one makes a move for Llorente this summer - we should be all over that one if the price is right
He's now essentially behind Mandzukic, Dybala and Morata
He's such a massive bellend I counted him as two cunts. Sorry my friend. :walkercry:
Excellent player, very strong and unbeatable in the air. Look at what he did to utd's defense a few years back in the Champions League. Good feet for a big lad, though he is getting on a bit and his lack of pace is growing with each season.
Would go for about 1000 coins on Fifa Ultimate Team though, that lack of pace makes him worthless to kids, but very effective to me....
hopefully. they already got ibueno who got 1 in 3 at rayo. but u would think they would want someone better to take over from jackson.
I actually think Soldado could do very well in Portugal
i dont think the lion king is mobile enough for poch.
i think his first criteria for new signings is can they run a marathon competitively?
I couldn't be more under whelmed by Moses and Redmond if I tried. Both mediocre at best. Really hope those rumours are bollocks.
