Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

I'd consider Messi and Ronaldo as forwards but because of their talent they can play in different areas, but these clubs also have Neymar and Benzema.

It's not true that an out and out striker isn't prolific there are plenty of example that have been at some point or other in the right system, Cavani, Falcao, Aguero, Suarez etc

The Spanish model only worked when they had exceptional players everywhere else in the team, it doesn't work now and they are crying out for a decent striker.

they are forwards....but they are not strikers

I look at Wilfred Zaha and think that he is 23 and has the potential to develop finishing skills. Plus his ball control is miles better than Theo and works hard for the team as well. When comparing finishing, Theo is better but overall Theo is nowhere near Zaha... again, that doesnt say much about Zaha because Theo is so shit.

Plus at 15 million quid, he seems right about the price range we can afford after not paying the 600 people's salary for a couple of weeks.

Typical English signing. Runs around a lot and not much else. Can't score and can't provide an assist. Theo at the very least was managing that at the same age. Zaha is yet another in a never ending line of English players that could've been the next Messi but ended up being Titus Bramble.

Zaha is genuinely shit.

Yay, we've signed an unknown

Apparently the bid for Lucas has hit trouble because we want to pay in two installements whereas Deportovio are demanding the fee upfront in one go.

Our cheapness

Yes but that was back then, now we're paying in one sum, all these hours later.

The media

It's almost as if they make stuff up every ten minutes because they know fuckwits will refresh and digest every single morsel of shit, hence giving them and their masters never-ending clicks and attention.

Spain and Germany need strikers. That was evident from the Euros. The games moving in the direction of the counter attack.

These days, every single click worth like a gold coin. Ka-ching!!!

Ornstein seems to be saying we've wrapped up Perez and agreed £35m for Mustafi

If true, we've been Marsellus Wallace'd

[Kano]

Which would be around £90m committed to these transfers in fees alone.

Fair play. But too late.
