Long is not a sub-average striker. He's a well above average striker, hence he has played many games in the Prem. Far more than Kane for example, I mean if Long is sub-average, what would that make Harry?
I can't stand Jamie Redknapp, and hope he doesn't join us.
I wouldn't worry. Stockport County wouldn't take alitodore on his current form.
Long is an average Premier League striker. 44 goals in 174 games for Reading (including Championship games). 19 in 80 for West Brom. They are distinctly average stats in my mind.
Kane is below average currently, hasn't proved anything. But Kane has age on his side, he's promising. I don't think he'll make it personally. But Long won't add anything to us, he is a direct striker and we have one of those, Defoe, who is better at it in my opinion.
So has Danny Gabbidon, shall we sign him too?
Sub-average with a potential to be a bit better. You sign a player like Long and one year later you search for another replacement becasue his not good enough for your ambitions. We need to sign Players that improve our starting XI or players that have a potential to improve our starting XI. If we cant find any of those, give your youngstars a chance. Signing average players only for the sake of signing someone It's one of the worst thing you can do IMO.

This one bothered me more
Take Ramsey, a very highly regarded coach, and Freund a well qualified one (albeit has worked with youth) away from the first team and replace them with someone who is not actually a coach...
3 goals this season. 1 in 4 his whole time with WBA. About as average as it gets mate.
It's a great work of fiction that's for sure.
I hope so!
Long's game isn't just about goals, and i agree he's an average Prem player, but that makes him a lot better than a sub-average player, who in professional terms is a Lge 2 player or thereabouts.
