surely today we need more news on that striker coming in otherwise it is either Gordon or Rondon to lead the line at the Villa.

I expect Rondon to start at the weekend mate. Even if we bring in a striker beforehand now.

I have a 66% success rate.

Why did you and who did you recommend him to?

Think you have taken another snare on your success rate with Vlasic being binned by West Ham for less than half of the purchase price after a year or two (can’t remember)

Seem to remember you thought he may have been the second coming ?

The big question today is are the people responsible for paying people off in the office today in Paris?

Almost certainly will be for the Villa game mate. All the links have been young players too so not really fair to throw them into a starting line up with only two days training with their new team regardless.

Just a lot better out there for me mate, I'm hoping we stay clear of the 'hes a bit like DCL' types.

We need a player different to him, I don't see the point of signing someone who is entirely an inferior version of him

…unless the intention is to bring in 2 strikers. One who is a genuine alternative to DCL (especially if able to play across the front line) and one who is an effective back-up to both.

@Zatara I linked Onana here when I fixed our window. Interestingly enough I’ve kept track of this list since almost all of them have been snapped up this Summer. I must be doing something right.

Think Baz from ToffeeTV has being mentioning Onana for 12 months along with Sangare (PSV?) and Bailey whom went to Villa

Could be, we need that in truth - I'd be good with the young PSG lad and any 'competent' shorter term backup - be that Batshuayi or the likes.

Got that, believe Baz is taller, but he gets the credit for the link ?

I show that we doubled our money on that one and attached a 25% sell-on that eventually tripled the investment. Sounds like good business to me even if the player didn't work out here.
