Which one, him signing for us or him as "the one who eats cocks"?
No I wouldn't bother, wouldn't get a game so would just be another player picking up a wage without contributing.
Chadli or Lamela are totally fine as 4th choice strikers. If we're getting a forward it should be an upgrade on Ade or Soldado.
We moan about Schniederlin for 8 weeks, then totally stop talking about him and ONLY moan about a striker.......who we didnt moan about until transfer deadline day.....when welbeck was linked......even though he´s shit.......its still a disaster we didnt get him.......
Human psychology Sammy. At it's most basic, 'people always want what they can't have.' You can apply it anything, a girl, a new car, etc. I borrowed this:-
"WHEN YOU DON’T GET WHAT YOU WANT, YOU WANT IT EVEN MORE.
Here are three reasons why this is so:
1. Heightened attention: When something is hard to get (or forbidden) you immediately pay more attention to it. Notice that when you are on a restricted diet, you sometimes get too focused on what you “can’t” eat. This heightened attention -- which can escalate into obsession -- makes the forbidden food seem very important. Your inner brat takes advantage of this, and tries to convince you that you MUST have that chocolate or pizza.
2. Perceived scarcity: When something is scarce or in short supply, its perceived value increases. You want it more because you think other people also want it. If you’ve ever bid at auctions or on eBay, you know the experience of that last-minute excitement as you watch the bids spiral upward. The more people who bid, the more you’re willing to pay for the item. Your inner brat wants it at any price.
3. “Psychological Reactance”: People don’t like to be told they can’t have or can’t do something. It’s related to not wanting to be controlled by others, especially if the situation feels unfair or arbitrary. The “reactance” is both emotional and behavioral.
The emotional part is your inner brat saying, “Oh yeah? I can’t have what I want? Just try and stop me!"
The Schneiderlin situation sums up the inner brat perfectly to me. All the lemmings running around like the world was going to end if we didn't sign him when.................he wasn't even for sale.
But just adding doesnt mean better. You have to actually find and sign better.
Have you even considered the fact that Chelsea are going into a title and CL chasing campaign...not just making up the numbers, but trying to win them, and everything else they can.
With, you guessed it...three strikers.
One is 36
One is Remy
I guess they will need a fair few goals from midfield no?
Or has Jose has been let down by the tight pockets of Abramovich.
The thing is, apart from casually trying to get Welbeck on loan when he became available, we havent even been after a striker. All this Bony and Negredo (LOL) talk was forum sensationalism.
Poch said he was pretty happy with the squad. He sured up the defence, mostly with squad players, and swapped a DM.
People decided for themselves that "you can NEVER trust what a manager says during the window" and they all knew better, and knew what we needed and that our squad was "shit".
Now they decide that it was Poch who was let down!
People let their imaginations run wild, and its they who are the dissappointed ones.
Blame yourselves, not the club.
Schurrel is a midfielder according to their own OS.
The thing that matters here is that Spurs did not want Remy. Let Poch fail for himself before deciding already we have fucked up...
Superb
The overriding fact is with the advent of 4-5-1 like Madrid and the likes of Barca's way (1 or no strikers) there are literally a dirth of good strikers out there, I remember in premier league when 5 or 6 strikers used to have a shoot out for the golden boot and get loads, the attacking midfielder is the new black, getting 3 of them to get 10 is the way to go, the way Poch seems to be playing the game, nobody has put 1 or 2 real names who were available forward who would genuinely improve us, they are a dying breed if not swallowed by big clubs
Says the person who thinks that Poch doesnt deserve time to work with the squad before he can see what to do with it.
And that if we had Remy or Sanogo he would delighted and none of his fears would exist anymore.
Shame to quit the forum over something you have built up into an illogical obsession to frenzy levels.
Oh well.
Have fun expecting us to lose every week and get relegated.
Bye
They have Messi - and Sanchez is a cunt.
Nor me, so that's Dier, Stambouli and the washed up bloke that nobody's heard of, that nobody's heard of. Gotta love this forum.
fuck it, sign him up
is that sarcasm? if not link me this instance
on another note bringing this Jonas guy in could help Bobby. Im all for that.
Here's the corrected version...
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar... Manchester United will soon be able to borrow these stars | Mail Online
Here's a story another site ran about the original version...
Famously, perrenial Champions League stalwarts Manchester United aren’t in this season’s Champions League, having (famously) finished seventh last season.
Daily Mail journo Jeff Powell misremembered that well-worn fact in his article on the loan system today, in which he lambasts Falcao’s loan move to Manchester United, reasoning that it goes against the starting principles of the loan system.
In his sub-heading bullet points, he asked the rhetorical and impossible question: ‘What happens if United draw Monaco in the Champions League?’
We all make mistakes, but it’s hard to fathom how one could forget that United are not in this year’s competition, a seasoned football journo no less.

Gone?? Jesus
I know....accused people of being "so called" Spurs fans in the same post he wrote "hope you enjoy getting pasted by Woolwich and Chelsea this season"
All over not signing a striker.....despite playing a new system with 3 goal scoring AMs behind the front man under Poch. Didnt seem to want to give Poch time to build.
Odd. He used to be far more balanced.
