Was there any more news on our interest in James Maddison at Coventry? Looks like an exciting young player. A good video on YouTube of his development from a young kid (6-7) to breaking into the first team if you like that sort of thing

Thanks for including the link to the video.

It's not a cop out it's just that I'm paid to do what I do for a living and, like many others, I am busy and need time for my family, home improvements and hobbies including football - why am I supposed to do the job of professional, well paid scouts who's job it is to find one? And, if our signing criteria is so specialist and precise then that makes it an even more ridiculous demand of me compared to them! It's your cop out not mine, there IS a player out there.

Like I said, nobody saw Son coming so I would hope the same will be true about the signing we unveil this weekend.

I'm all for patience and being happy with how things are going but, 'the future' and 'longer term' can be as much as a cop out as a sound strategy. Don't forget about the now, given the league this year and our current squad, right now could be the future! Step change our club BEFORE the stadium move, get further ahead of Utd and Chelski before they over-invest to come again (which they will) - it may even be our manager they come for!

5pts away, topsy turvy league, ahead of Chelski, Utd, Scousers, only lost by an odd goal in games we shouldn't have lost, good squad with cover in most places but very short in a crucial one.......go for it for fuck sake, the same chance might not come around again as soon as you think.
So there is definitely, 100% a player out there to be the difference between CL qualification or not, yet you can't name him. You're just saying an arbitrary sentence to prove your point. Utter nonsense.

When you're making sensational claims, you need sensational proof. You're just saying there is without any modicum of suggestion or fact.

There just is.

:dembele:

''Go for it for fuck sake'' - Go for what?! The league? If you think a second striker will be the reason we win the league this year then I don't know what to say to you.

If, we win the league it'll be because of Kane, Dier, Lloris, Alli, Pochettino, Toby, Jan etc. and so on.

Not some arbitrary back up striker you can't even name arriving in February.

FFS.
 
Been watching quite a lot of Bundesliga football. Such an entertaining league. Anyways I have been hugely impressed with Yunus Malli from Mainz. He is a #10 I believe he already has 6 goals and an assist this season. 23 years old just picked to represent Turkey even though he had previously featured for Germany U-21. Seems like a player who we would be looking at.
I called this one....hope it actually happens
 
Another day and fuck all has .happened,we continue to make fucking excuses for the situation as if we havent been down this road before.we need a fucking striker or bare minimum consolidate the defence with a defender ,we are an injury or two in our back 4 /forward position from a disaster.before people start calling me a cunt ,i promise if what i thiink will happen does not happen.ie we go through a goal draught or start leaking goals when we lose another defender,i will delete my account on here.

Just go.

No one wants to converse with someone betting on a goal drought or losing a defender of their own team.

Reason im so angry is because this is modric /bale 2012 all over again ,we just need that little boost to push on but once again we act naive to think we can compete with defiencies in key areas.chadli and fazio do not give me any confidence at all .top 4 is what we should nail down and it will allow us to keep our main playrs.

Yeah, lets sign this Championship striker and push on.

Who do you suggest?

I don't think an extra striker in 2012 was going to change Harry fucking us over, or Modric mailing it in for the second half of the year. Would it have been nice? Yes, and we nearly signed Aubameyang until Levy pushed a little too far in negotiations. Then again, Aubemeyang 4 years ago wouldn't have been saluted around here, he'd have gotten the same reception Son did when we signed him.

Mauricio has said that he's only interested in finding players he believes will improve us right now, and who will fit into the squad well, right now. If they can't meet both criteria, he's not signing anyone. Rage against him all you like on that, but he's the one who's gotten us this far, and I'll trust him over any fan, blogger, journo or pundit on the planet.

He's also said this morning that we're not signing a defender, at all, and that he'd play CCV instead. So, you can take it up with him.

Calm the fuck down and have a little faith in Poch.
He's earned it.

And rooting for us to have a goal drought isn't going to get you very far on here.

You are so right and yet so many on here are happy to accept the situation as it is once again. We somehow once again find ourselves with the top 4 and champions league football within touching distance. Hell, we could even win the fucking title for the first time in most of our lifetimes.Yet we are probably one injury away from the whole thing falling apart in the last couple of months. Surely the fans deserve some sort of statement from the owners that we intend to consolidate our position and push on in the final few months. Under Levy we havent finished above Woolwich once. Not fucking once. Shocking. Yet here we are, seemingly happy to persevere with what we have. Crossing our fingers that our luck holds out. Scandelous.
 
We're where we are on merit. Not luck. Anyone who says anything else can go fuck themselves. And anyone who thinks that Kane is the sole reason for our position in the league can go fuck themseves with the people who think we're where we are on luck.

I think we all have faith in Poch. In fact he`s working miracles with one hand tied behind his back. It`s the little cunt who holds the purse strings that I have no faith in.

Yeah, and the only thing that is holding us back at the moment is a bench-warming backup for Kane and a spare defender.
