Man who owns 102 houses makes token gesture to homeless.

Yeah, that's a point.

 

[Uppercut]

Benteke was brilliant at Villa till the injury and like Yakubu is half the player after it.

He misses an absurd amount of chances though, which is odd because normally post-injury strikers lose the sharpness they need to get the chances. Like Kane.

Come back Judas all will be forgiven if you get us up the table and don't leave in the same manner again.

At the rate things are going, he'd be worried at the idea of getting his place in the side back. And to think he will have went to United partly to "win trophies".

Pretty sure he’s talking about Paul Hurst, who are you talking about?

Oh, I meant Alexis Sanchez haha.

 

[marc71178]

To be fair, I doubt FJ would object to Sanchez turning up at the Meadow.

I think I'm getting confused. There's so many Arsenal fans here!

Pretty cool photo.

With Fred and Alexis, is City's policy just to declare interest in players they have no interest in to troll United into signing?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Both were genuine interest, especially Sanchez who was talked about on the Amazon doco's.

Both of those guys would probably be praised as great signings if they ended up at City.

I don't think Sanchez would fit into the city side, for a player who's looking for game time I would think he would stay put considering he left the Emirates due to the lack of Champions League football.

It's a polite form of 'tapping' up.

 

[EmJo]

I feel this is more 'earned' and is true passion.

 

[EmJo]

Don't worry they'll crawl back under the rock once they dip in form.

Being fair, Ipswich are a big team with loads of potential and I feel he has a good challenge as the aspirations of the club in general are big. No disrespect to the Shrews but League one is a nothing division.

There has been a tenuous link of Welbeck heading to Huddersfield to bolster and impressive strike force of Depoitre, Mounie and Mbenze (Quaner and DiaKhaby if not put on the wings) but it looks like there're some strikers who maybe looking to leave either on a loan or permanent deal.

 

[EmJo]

That's just the palace effect.

 

[EmJo]

And? Many people in football have other business interests and do nothing for charity.

 

[EmJo]

May well be true, but I'd still take him at Palace in a heartbeat. Admittedly being better than Benteke and Ayew isn't setting a particularly high bar, but Hodgson's failure to sigh a remotely decent forward over the summer is going to see us relegated.

How can you say that he doesn't get much choice! He may have been chasing a number of targets and if they can't be signed for a whole manner of reasons he wont get his man. He can't just throw money at the issue like the big clubs. Trust me it's a difficult task signing a decent forward. Have faith in Benteke I still feel he is a good player and needs to be played the same as he was at Villa.
