Are we going to end up with a pop gun attack?

[ilikecheese]

Would be absolute lunacy to sell your best striker for 75m and not spend a huge chunk of that with a quality, ready-made replacement.
Pure lunacy.

It's the 23rd of July. No need to go mental.

July 24th here. Panic setting in.

Lol.

I suspect our good friend @davek may have a point with our forward line as it currently stands. It's very pop gun.

That's true, but it was virtually guaranteed. I don't think Koeman likes to run everything through one striker, although Rom's ability was such that he would have been foolish to do anything else. We were always going to shift to a more balanced attack once he left. I'm sure pop-gun is meant to demean such a style, and I'm not trying to sell losing Rom as a positive, but I don't think spreading goals around is inherently bad.

Not at all. But you still need a proven quality striker surely in England if you have ambitions of challenging the top 4.

 

[heatmeiser]

Has anyone ever finished in the top 4 with one of these pop gun attacks?

Worried here.

We finished fourth with Marcus Bent leading the line.

What's your thoughts on Pop Tarts as a breakfast choice?

Frosted strawberry for me.

I'd still prefer Benteke myself; but Palace I'm sure will be desperate to keep him, much like Swansea with Gylfi. Giroud seems more obtainable, just depends how much he prefers the London lifestyle.

I honestly do not understand the Benteke shouts.

Ok then. I'm convinced.

I go weak at the knees for Belgians who score goals.
