So what you're saying is, it's coming home?

Nah, but I think we're capable of getting to the Semi's. We have some very good young players coming through, it pains me to say this but those lads at Spurs are quality, they know how to pass and keep hold of the ball.

He can finish, that's for sure. But that's it. Outside the 6 yard box he offers nothing. Slow, predictable, limited technical ability. Put him in the box though and he's lethal. I suppose on form you have to give him a shot, provided you have decent players around him. Which isn't the case.

He's a very good finisher and to be honest, I'd love us to have someone who's task is just to put the ball in the back of the net, non of the other fancy pointless stuff Wenger rates over finishing, a striker is there to score goals, if he does that's good enough for me.

[Marc Overmars]

If we had a finisher like Kane we would have strolled to the title this year. We've been blessed in the past to have great goal scorers who also happen to be great all round forwards but strikers like that only come round a few times in a generation. As a result we now place too much importance on "link up play" but if you have the playmakers in place like we already do, then all you need is someone to come alive in the box and that's what we're missing.

Van horseface scored about 3 times outside the box in his entire career. The mug was still lethal though.

Dixon, Wright and Wazza in the studio.

Asking Wazza how it will be to captain the team in a major tournament; isn't that just clamouring for him to start basically?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should have been a pelanty against Rose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

England 1-0 Netherlands, Vardy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Netherlands!

Rose.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Jansen!

Why is Danny Rose playing at international level? Has Woy let anyone into the secret?
