No idea. But even with everyone at full fitness, we need a quality LB. Could do worse than that bloke at QPR. I don't mean Jenas.

Eh? Having Chiriches is more reason to question why Dawson is getting a permanent run in the side.
Left back should be the priority at the end of the month. We should go balls deep for Shaw.
I meant last season.
Rose's toe is the reason why Dawson's still playing this season.
I personally wouldn't expect him to tear it up on his return...but in terms of the team dynamic, I'm afraid my expectations are quite high.
A proper bombing wing back is exactly what we need, so in that respect I'm eager for his return, and I really want him to do well. But let's not put to much pressure on him.
He had a promising, solid start. But you're right, he needs a bit of time. Best thing will be to have some balance back.
I'm hoping for better defensive performances mostly, I love Verts but when playing at LB he drifts too far in and leaves a lot of room round him which, as a recent example, Fulham made a lot from. Rose has a lot more pace than Verts and will hopefully track wingers better.
Sorry...did you just say Paulinho is not attacking? :adelol:
Now lets see, take out Vlad and Capoue, and we spent around 90M on attacking players from the 110M we spent.
Lamela and Soldado might be bedding, but we still spent the money you twonk

Look at the league table, the price will be stupid.
might be, but it's likely to be worth it, both short- and long-term!
Did you originally buy the car for £20 quid though?
The other guy that replied to this got buried under negreps, but he was correct. Though we made a profit in the window, that doesn't change anything about the fact that we spent a lot of money on two attacking players- Soldado and Lamela- who aren't firing. We didn't spend the full £100m on them, true- but those two alone did cost us somewhere in the region of £55m (both transfer record breaking signings in the same window too). Even though we didn't cripple ourselves financially to sign them, that doesn't supercede the fact that we invested a lot of money into their talents that could, for example, have been used on other players.
So to see neither of them firing by this point in the season is a bit of a worry- but I do 100% believe that both will come good with time and patience, based on what their long history of excelling elsewhere. It's just about gearing ourselves tactically around bringing out their talents.
Our strikers have scored 1 goal between them from open play. I think the issue is how we are setting the team up.
Soldado barely gets the ball played into him. It's baffling, one of the deadliest strikers in Europe and yet we try to avoid giving him the ball..

Fuck that, the first time he misplaces a pass he's getting booed! :llorisserious:
...but every now and then people come and have a crap in it.
