We desperately need a GK, a LWB as well as Bergvall and Diamonde, but our need for a striker has diminished imo with the pre season form of Awoniyi, Jesus and Kalimuendo.

It's a fair point, Munmad, and the signs are good goal scoring wise with Woody back in training too.
The downside is that the opposition and nature of the pre season games doesn't necessarily give a good indication of how good we are in this department.


Plus, as I've said a few times, top class strikers are as rare as rocking horse ? and correspondingly very very expensive.
In OG, we trust...
Also, I'd be very surprised if we get anywhere near a full season out of Woody and Taiwo. I hope I'm wrong....

If we can carry on with the goal scoring glut we had towards the end of last season under VP, that would be a bonus.

Don't agree about needing Bergvall. Whether instalments, add-ons, whatever, for 60 million, a lad that's played 50 Premier League games, 1 goal, 4 assists, really doesn't make sense. If that's what it's going to cost us, move on, simples.

Agreed, Skegs, if MGW is valued around the same as an example. We should be able to get a more experienced player in for a whole lot less. ?

I'd take Bergvall at about 35 mill. The price they're after? Let someone else have him, ridiculous.

To be honest, if Bergval couldn't get a regular start in last season's Spurs side, he can't be anywhere near a £50m player now! Leave him at Spurs. Let's not play Spurs' game of payback for the MGW fiasco!

Munmad, I think Kalemuendo will be gone. Not sure he wants to be here.

I think he'd be happy as a regular starter as a 10 with MGW.

Kalimuendo at least looks fit this season, Stevie. I thought he looked overweight last season, mate.

Bring Mateta in. Sell Woody on.

Talking of overweight, I've been blagged into playing for a local Sunday league side tomorrow. Hoping that St Johns will be attending. ? Not sure if Messi's example of not running will work in centre mid. ? ?

Not so much 'box to box' anymore, more like 'bed to bar'. ?
