Agreed, but a #9 would be an expensive way to get someone tall to help defend set pieces. Anyway, if Sami was that concerned about defending set pieces he could have played Ince (6'3") or O'Grady (6'1") from the start...

I think after Saturday he should be concerned. Don't you?

I actually really like Tapatalk for using NSC, though I do seem to be in the minority.

Torres (6'1") is ready to leave Chelsea after his initial £50million move from Liverpool, Chelsea will have to pay £16million for Fernando Torres to leave Stamford Bridge as two years left on deal will earn him £150,000-a-week - perhaps a loan deal?
Lewis Dunk was marking the goalscorer on saturday. Is he not tall enough?
Yes, I do! But the way I'd combat that would be to play Ince or (if it really has to be a #9, and I don't think it does) O'Grady, not by buying a classic, big, #9 when, apart from helping defend set pieces, nothing else he would bring would seem to fit into the way Sami wants to play. S'all...

I used to like it, but find it glitchy now, plus on my Nokia the opening post is on a separate page to the main thread, also no polls, vBet, embedding tweets is dodgy plus lots more that wionds me up.
But I agree that it's far better than browsing the normal site on a phone.

Re: not having to ship anyone out - we've still got to watch the wages bill, FFP and all that.
Yes, that is of course true...

And ignore Ince's shortcomings just to attempt to win a couple of headers which incidentally he doesnt do very often despite being tall. Better bring back Murray to do it at both ends plus put the ball in the net regularly.
Personally, I think it's highly unlikely that Murray will be coming back. Let's suppose he was available at a price we were prepared to pay (both to Palace and personally) and that he actually wanted to return. Do you think he'd fit into the system that Sami seems to want to play?
Was a bit surprised Sami didn't react to the threat by bringing one of them on. We were lucky Bolton weren't good enough to capitalise.
If we continue with the weakness some other teams will.

I think he could hold the front line as the target hold up man and allow CMS to drag the defenders all around their defensive area
