We need a player with his experience, gamesmanship and his willingness to do anything to win. How many of our players would have saved the goal against Ghana in the world Cup in 2010? If he didn't it's a guaranteed loss. He gave his team the chance to win. He's a filthy diver but he's one of the best in the game. He knows how to hack players and get away with it. He's a master of the dark arts and a bastard to play against. He's exactly what we need. The best way is for archer to get games not play second fiddle to a 35 year old hasbeen that will be a stop gap. Im not in favour of this signing at all. 5 years too late 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I’m not a fan of this one. He’s too old, too dodgy a past, and too associated with Liverpool. I just don’t think he’s a player we should be looking at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Luis in to show these lot how it’s done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Extra fun fact is that Atletico have looked at a number of strikers to replace Suarez, and apparently Calvert-Lewin is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He's been great since his new dentures were fitted. He's more of a suck than a bite these days! And we've got enough suckers in our squad and he'll be sold on gum-tree by Christmas before his arthritis sets in and he gets taken to training by his carer!

Im not in favour of this signing at all. 5 years too late Archer "getting games" shouldn't be a priority. Archer proving himself to be good enough to get games, yes I'm all for that. MissIng out on a higher placed finish because we prioritized giving someone a chance rather than playing a proven scorer is simply not the way the club should be thinking. Our highest ever premier league finish (under BFR) was with a core of proven experienced players who had won things (Staunton, Houghton, Saunders, Richardson, McGrath, complemented by the odd homegrown player who had proven themselves over the past 2/3 seasons (Daley). Nobody complained about that team, that finish, or that kids weren't being given games.... Yorke was dipped in and out and earned more minutes as he began to show he could do it. But I'd argue that without the mentorship of the likes of Cyrille Regis, Yorke likely would have taken far longer to come good. If Suarez can make us better, even for three months, then he absolutely should be brought in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was suarez wont be playing or starting week in week out probably a majority from the bench due to his age. Why bither when archer could get more time from the bench? Hasnt harmed JJ has it? You can opt with hasbeens like suarez ill stick with our exciting youngsters like archer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can opt with hasbeens like suarez ill stick with our exciting youngsters like archer Because Archer is almost certainly going to go out on loan again for the season, this time at a slightly higher level. He is no way ready for a team that is aiming to finish in a European spot in the Premier League. Really even Chukwumeka would have benefitted from a season loan, but i guess due to his contract situation it wasn't worth that risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gerrard wants to keep his job longer than next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
