You didn't say anything of the sort. Was merely playing the post.

No it really isn't, and this weird rewriting of history for Diaz is odd of late. He's played mainly as a striker with left wing in a 2 or 3 as a back up. He started up front with Archer at Sheffield Utd and is listed as a striker on transfer market. He started up front in a 2, or left wing in a 3 foot Blackburn. He's not played there his WHOLE career. I'm not sure why there's this belief that he's an out and out winger As the OP said, it's odd that a man of his stature doesn't play as the leading 9 because he's physically got those attributes Vs that of a winger

Shush, we want it that way.

But but he asked to play there really nicely..... So you know. Brave.

Yep I have no idea what's going on with this line up either, unless only to serve to prove once again that AA can't play as a number 9. ABK should have started as should Stewart if actually fit.

3 but we've heard that Martin is still gonna pick him

It's annoying that it needs repeating

Shit penalty, I agree. I think we'll probably lose this now as well - who knows. BUT, fuck me this is how we should set up going forwards. Look so much better.

Someone has to I guess.

Agreed. Does not stop him being a toss defender who's playing at a level way above his pay grade, however. He was awful last time we were in the Prem, and he's no good now. I don't think Bednarek is all that either, and the jury is out on THB.

Looks about two weeks away to me.

Great see you in the championship

Checking in, have we signed a number 9?

This. We could play for 3 weeks against 4 players and still not score. I generally think the back unit, minus Shoe-HornbJack, are ok with a new GK, but we've needed a new no 9 for seasons. Here we are. We won't be up for long.

Love this move, good player and vital to the way we play. Happy with that. Goals next, please.

Noice. Great start. Get some Beef Wellington in. And some goals.

This. This is my opinion of him, third choice, fine but never as a first choice option.

This is the issue with trying to act clever without having all the context (insert sarcastic rolley eye thing here). I asked, in lieu of actual signings, who in our midfield currently provides enough creativity noting that so far (at the point I made the comment) we had signed Lallana and our targets didn't really set the world heart/were old as fuck and hadn't been good for years. Besides, I wasn't even addressing you.

Could you please elaborate? Because my thoughts are that we don't have a decent CB pairing. I have never felt Bednarek was prem quality, and I don't think Stephens is Championship quality let alone a worthy backup. Midfield creativity is also an issue for me. Where do you think it's coming from? Genuine questions, not argument baiting.

Or alternatively our first team or squad isn't good enough to compete in the premiership and buying old, shite like Lallana and Ings isn't going to help that when we already have a shite Left Back, questionable CB, no CB cover (no Stephens isn't good enough), no creative midfielder, no real options on the wing, no striker who can score goals outside of the championship, no back-up striker. Oh and I forgot to mention we need a GK as well because our first choice is our second choice, and our first choice is both injured and statistically the worst in the division below. Genuinely, not trying to start an argument with you either, and I agree with squad togetherness etc is important, but my God we need some players and those that are being touted, and some that are here already, aren't the answer.

If free then fine. I wouldn't be wasting money on another aging, and very average pro though.

Permanently. Useless fuck and always has been.

Perpetually

It's not hard is it. Anyone sounded the shoe-horn claxon yet?

I mean it's fucking obvious to everyone on here isn't it, in fact everyone is unified for a fucking change, but he seems to want to shoe-horn shit in just because. Utter tit.
