No we won't sign this forward we desperately need if we are serious about staying up in this league and we will be left with Connolly Murray maupay upfront hopefully I am wrong

Or more likely female.

Somewhat less likely - their window's already SLAMMED shut.
Play Ali J as a number 10 just behind Maupay with March and Montoya as wing backs then stop messing around with squad selection week in week out we need a bit of stability at the back and sadly two players who could provide that are both injured Burn and Duffy

Oh yes, so it has. Fair enough .................. one for the dev. squad then.

He's top scorer and incredibly still in with a shout of being fastest player of the league. Fair play to him, a truly exceptional athlete.
Look at that list though. Only Vardy and sometimes McGoldrick getting much game time as a striker. It's a young man's game, playing up front. Even Rooney is down the leagues and he's younger than Muzza.
Add that to the fact that it's impossible to see how employing someone who can barely move is going to fit into the style of football we're currently playing. We love possession and hate the risk of being counter attacked too much to be standing balls up to the back post all game.
I love Glenn, but from the moment last season when he turned back while 10 yards clear on goal, it was clear, his race is run.

We haven't got enough CBs to play Montoya and March as wingbacks - we'd need to be playing three at the back, and we've only got two fit CBs at the moment, unless you include Balogun.

I sincerely hope you’re wrong too, Michael Owen.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What the hell are you smoking, I want some!
I’m convinced we need an attacking player who can score at will, or at least, otherwise we willbe struggling as we have the last few seasons. IF we don’t get anyone, I don’tmthink we’ll get away with it. It’smnot that we're not better than we have been, but the competition and standard is higher this season. I’m not convinced we’ve ket up with the PL pace.

Also it must put an end to speculation of Balogun leaving as he is now the only fit back up at CB

N.B. Jamie Vardy, in at number 5, is currently PL top scorer...
Where is Peter Crouch in that list? He was 38 when he played for Burnley.

He like Hughton is putting out what he is told to say and hide his feelings.
I think after Poyet it was a quality any manager had to have, the abillity to follow the party line

West Ham just signed, for £13M, a Czech international attacking midfielder, Tomas Soucek, who has scored 11 goals in 24 games for club and country this season. Exactly the kind of player we should be after. Dare say wages would have been a problem for us tho, he might want the PL going rate

Roughly half of them penalties, and mostly playing in a league where Slavia Prague are as dominant as Liverpool are in the PL this season - 54 points from 20 games and a +41 goal difference...
(that's 45 for, 4 against! - he might find playing for West Ham in the PL a slightly different proposition)

We were linked in the Czech press, and Potter had been spotted taking a plane to Prague ( before the Czech article, so no wind up ).
But West Ham pay silly money, and still want 3 more players in.
