Precisely - we could sign a relatively unknown striker for around the value of Gross who turns out to be utterly brilliant! Nothing is certain in life and nearly everything in football is uncertain.
Understanding is a three edged sword.
Okay - so are we in the bottom 3? Are we cut adrift?
Are we actually massively in the shit yet?
Are we totally sure we're going to have to wait 2 months?
Are we also sure that we won't be signing any other attacking players?
At the end of the day I'd just like you to be happy, but I guess...
I agree it is indeed not the time to tit about, but I think we're going to have rely on Tomer and Glenn for a few weeks more in any event.
Beggars, choosers and all that.
And 25 million would guarantee what exactly?!? Injury free goal laden Roy of the Rovers stuff?!? When you consider Lukaku was 75 million, I not so sure that the difference between 15 and 25 million is actually quantifiable in any way. Yes a fully fit striker would have been prefable, but I doubt...
Perhaps it's not ideal, but he will add competition and give both Hemed and Murray and even Baldock a reason to fight for the right to start up top. The question of whether or not he's better than Izzy etc. Well the Izzy we all saw was dross really...
He'll also be our record signing... going...
Now, now Dazzer let's not assume that I meant a multiple of Elvis or indeed a gigantic Manu that would still be unable to control a football...
What I did mean was that he can control a ball, use two feet and, and looks like a genuine unit. His intelligent link up play with our very own Davy...
Did some people really dare to dream re Sturridge, Ings et al?!? never going to happen. I think this could be a fantastic signing. I like what I see and I ascertained very rapidly (watching his reels) that he's ten times the footballer Manu purported to be.
Here's hoping we get the done deal...
In actuality it happened about three minutes after it was reported we might (yes, might) be signing him. Now he's Elvis II and worse than shite as he plays for a regular champions league club, from a division that has never spawned any great players ever.
These are FACTS people.
Give me...
I see your indeed and I raise you a further indeed, no worse than dare I say West Ham and at times; Everton, Stoke, Swansea... not every PL defence is akin to an impregnable footballing vestal virgin.
Why do all other clubs have a MASSIVE (no pun intended) chip on their respective shoulders about us?!? It's strange all these clubs in the championship who hate little old Brighton. Not Plucky, oh no, not us... just (seemingly) shit.
With bells on.
Well... I hope he signs, just so the Wolves...
The Dutch league may well be... how you (I mean they, but obviously the mock Dutch accent is too hard to resist) say... shit. But it's a step up from the Swiss second division where our last BIG striking target was plying his trade. Let's give him a chance (if indeed any of this is actually true...
Indeed some of the general attacking play from PSV was utterly superb... I noted that they often committed more than one player forward when attacking... very odd that?!?
Propper would benefit from playing further forward... is Gross the problem here? Tough calls, I guess that's why Chris gets...
