And Walker when he was with us fwiw. It was only in that last run of games that I liked Cleverley: didn't do enough for me before that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do vaguely but that suggests he wasn't memorable. Cleverly was handy, would have been good if he had stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone posted they would be better than the nothing that we have available at the moment. There is no way we will get want we really want in a January window when we are where we are!

To be honest I'm not sure spending £80m plus wages on 5 players who aren't good enough in January is better than nothing. We'd probably still go down and have a shit load of wages being pissed up the wall. Genuinely if you offered me those 5 or nothing I'd probably choose nothing (Or at least change it to just Piateck and Townsend who are the only two in the list who would contribute anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm better than nothing. But we shouldn't be signing me for £20m because I'm better than nothing. We need to sign players who will contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 None of then will contribution enough under Smith which has already been proven. Ok Grealish does but he's waiting for a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, i don't think we're disagreeing with anything really, by the way are you a centre forward or a nippy winger? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Just get a body in on loan who’s trade is to play up front, this is an emergency situation. Then spend the rest of the month doing a more refined search. We need at least two forwards anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Lambert, he couldn't get a match at stages and he was dropped at the start of Sherwood's tenure, too. Check out the posts from April and March 2015 on his thread. Before that, he was all over the place: Ahh memories...
