It's almost as if they've got a plan or something!

Less of that mate.

You're only allowed in here if you're really angry we've not bought in players we don't really want because the ones we do weren't available.

Or

We couldn't find a nobhead of a striker who wanted to come here and sit on the bench praying our top scorer dies or something.

Should write just give up owning 2 strikers then mate?

Seems to be the consensus that signing a second striker has to be one happy to sit on the bench and not fight for a place in the team. So should we just give up and never sign one again?

I know a striker happy to sit on the bench, his names kone and we are shipping him out tonight so what's the point in having more than one striker eh?

No. You have a player like DCL who will work his ass off to get a chance.

You mean an 18 year old with no top flight experience and still learning the game?

Yeah that works as well. I remember all the successful teams who have one striker and a kid as back up, erm.....struggling here with one.

Is this the answer? Have the reserves fighting for a place in the team? Balls to signing players at all then, always an academy player there ready to fight for a place in the team.

Just wondering, we have had like one academy player come through in the last what? 6 years in Davies. Before that Rodwell, why all of a sudden has our academy gone POOF squad full of players ready for top level premiership football?
