Obviously I agree, sign all the forwards!! (Even though our leaky defence is clearly our biggest issue). I don't think it is, nor the strikers... our problem is the midfield, its killing us in both directions, we don't protect the ball, we don't protect the defence, we don't push forward, its starting to look like any combination of the 3 we put out is soft as shit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of parts of the big cities are quite grim but that's the same for anywhere. I stand by Venice and Naples comments though I travelled around monte grappa and some of the mountain ranges which saw heavy fighting in WW1. Absolutely spectacular Venice is pretty, but it is packed with tourists like you say... but that’s the same with the Eiffel Tower or Tower of London. If you go to a tourist hotspot it’ll be packed and full of naff souvenirs and stuff. Ah, off topic anyway, but glad you had a good time at Mount Grappa. I’ve not been to the memorial but I’ve been to the South Tyrol region which I think is nearby. Edited January 15, 2020 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By defence I mean how we defend as a team, not individual defenders necessarily. Scoring goals hasn’t been a big issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Apparently linked to Defoe in the Mirror... I would say there is 0% chance of that happening, he’s 37. Also, pretty sure he’s on loan at Rangers and isn’t their player (still Bournemouth’s I think if wiki is right). Must've been linked to him every year for 10 years now. Just more lazy journalists! I don’t even think the Mirror printed this, and Agent_Villa2 has made up a link... in the mirror... to Defoe.

In saying that, and i will probable get scuffed at here, i think Drinkwater will turn out to be a decent signing once he gets minutes under his belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 can't believe we are 15 days into the window, knew we needed a striker and a winger to take the hapless wesley and trez out of the team, wesley gets injured anyway (blessing in disguise) and yet 15 days in we've not addressed these key areas. Before the window even opened liverpool doing a medical for minamino pops up on my youtube feed. We should of been shaking hands with agents at the start of December. Basicly we need to either go down the robbie keane veteran route with someone like defoe or sturridge or go down the darren bent avenue with a big money move to get piateck. Benteke would be the middle ground. Anyway Heads should roll for this absoluite shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable, we're linked with Jermaine Defoe every bleeding year it's almost a tradition these days. He could be 80 years old living in a car home and the papers would still link us with Defoe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Apparently Daily Express is saying that Liverpool snubbed to sign Jack Grealish twice.....yeah right. 1) we wouldnt offer and 2) surely they'd rip our arms off us to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Spurs meant to be signing striker called Ze Luis from Porto, might be mean their interest in Piatek cools, if we actually want Piatek we'll see if this makes any difference. Although I suspect we'll probably end up signing a couple of forwards that have hardly been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
