What a tool. my view which has been posted often is that we need an out and out forward far more. I have explained the strategy behind it, which is obvious to a blind man if you watch the team and understand what you are watching. I don't think defending a rearguard action better is the key to scoring more goals and winning games, it is holding the ball up front and defenders don't do that. If you can't see this, you are nothing but a total knacker. Think everyone is aware that someone other than Bombadil has their hands on that accolade.

I could ask how many times you have seen the team play..... but it is blindlingly obvious that the trouble with this team is an inability to hold the ball up front, in todays case the game should have been dead and buried There are many troubles with the team, of which that is indeed one of them. However, it's also clear to see that even with Henry and Drogba up front, this team would still conceed goals with their current defenders. Personally, I'd love to see us sign a new striker, along with a couple of new midfielders and 4 new defenders. However, when you look at the squad, forgetting the injuries, we're much stronger up front than we are at the back. I think we should be looking to bring a cheap striker in (Viduka for example) and invest in a couple of good defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) You should "plan" a bit better, we need at least one forward. The big money should be spent on that. We need a decent forward (that would compliment Owen/Martins most preferably), but we also seriously need several good quality defenders and probably even an injection of quality (not numbers) into midfield too. That is if the "plan" is to ever actually win anything and not just bob around mid-low table for the next 50 years or whatever.

I'd rather we tried to get a striker on the cheap and use the money to buy a left-back, an experienced centre-back and a right-back, in that order.

For the umpteenth time, I have said we need forwards before defenders ........ even Chelsea need a new defender, how dumb can you get ... but you think a new defender will score the goals to keep us above the bottom sides in the premiership if Martins is injured........such a stupid view simply couldn't be made up if you tried. Simple fact is, today, we should have sown the match up. And defenders don't hold the ball up front and surrender possession thus putting your defence under pressure. This is kids stuff.

People are deluding themselves. the shite board ended up with one foot in the old 3rd division, and sold its best players for decades, and didn't even succeed with a share issue that hoped to raise 2.5m quid to Newcastle Uniteds thousands of diehard supporters who will support the team forever ... blah blah blah..... Shite boards are also at other clubs who hardly qualify for europe, otherwise they would qualify for europe ? If you prefer not to bother buying quality players and hovering around the middle of the table or lower, you may get your wish if the board is taken over by a board who keep the books balanced at all costs and don't attempt to speculate for success on the pitch. I agree that spunking money under Souness is why we are in this position, I predicted it. However the accountant and some of his chums who said it wouldn't happen and we should give him time, to get rid of who he wanted and replace them with seemingly unlimited funds have got what they wanted. The club will take time to recover so there is no point in idiots rambling on expecting the club to spend millions more quid. The ironic thing is if the club spend money they will slate them for doing it because of the accounts and if the club don't do it they will still slate them. The conclusion is obviously that a lot of people on here will just slate the club whatever they do. Very sad. Who thinks the club should spend money and who thinks they should not.

The teams who don't score goals get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
