There are pictures up on the offal and it looks like there were games and face painting and musicians to entertain. Shame they let in the kids but there you go.

And what if all three stay fit all season? Then one of them would be out of the squad every week. That's why the third striker we get would ideally be someone who's young with potential(so they wouldn't expect to play every single game) and also ideally, can play in different positions as well, so that they could get some more minutes by playing on the wing for example.

What if

Still getting linked with Romulo. Seems that the strikers we've been linked with are of the "younger with potential that can play other positions as well" variety.

And that's exactly what we need now that Raul has extended his contract. There's no need to get a big name striker with both Raul and Muniz still here.

what if they both get injured we need a quality striker that is quick and can run in behind

What if we get a third striker for £80 million and all three get injured?

I'm on a free transfer if Marco wants to play me as their #9

On the subject of FFC finances, I hope the club keep the £3 pints to help my budget!

It would help even more if you didn't drink at all mate. Just a thought!

He's not saying don't get a 3rd option?
He's saying no need to spend big on the position with 2 good strikers already available.

What happens if 90% of clubs in the prem lose their first 2 striking options to injury at the same time? Most would obviously take a significant hit in terms of quality

Thread said were still linked to strikers, just that from those linked it seems not with ones that are major outlays at the moment but more players with promise that maybe aren't quite the finished article yet - and fair enough.

That's exactly what happened to Arsenal.

I went to it with my Grandchildren a few years ago. It is worth doing but take a ball

General Discussion / Re: NFR - Club World Cup

Last post by Willham - Today at 02:27:08 PM

The amount of football definitely harms the product, we'll see a steady increase in amount of muscle injuries, and audience / player apathy.

There's a great irony in how owners who wanted Super League said people didn't want more meaningless matches, but now we have more Champions League matches, a Club World Cup, and a 48 team World Cup. I think the 48 team World Cup is a disaster, it means we will have a convoluted group system where there's more games for less teams to go out, and people finishing their groups not knowing if they will go through or not. I don't think you should ever have any tournament where third place in a group of 4 should be able to go through.

It really has turned into a farce. Going back to a straight knockout in club cup football would really make Champions League interesting, seeing some big guns have their nose bloodied by smaller teams and being knocked out, rather than a long league stage where all the top teams go through anyway. As we know, never going to happen as money seems to be the only thing decisions are made around - rather than consumer interest.

The new group formats for a lot of competitions are very hurtful to the overall spectacle.

Meanwhile im still excited to watch river plate and flamengo.
