Jose Fonte let the cat out the bag there. Of course we’ve all known since the summer thanks to Beefy.

I like Targett as a player, but pace in the modern full back role is pretty essential at the top level. He might be better served in a back five, but we’re not showing any signs of changing to that formation

he put some good balls into the box against Spurs, he is not going to blast down the line, but he whips in a fine cross from 30 yards out
 
I'd understand Sturridge's position there if we weren't in a World Cup year and he was getting minutes to prove himself..

May simply want a better loan deal. We haven't exactly been a team that makes our attacking players look great to date; as a showcase, a team like Stoke (who have a pretty good backing trio in Shaqiri, Allen and Choupo-Moting, and have been starting an ancient Peter Crouch for lack of other options) might be a better destination.
 
I think Tadic could do with some competition, he's not on a huge amount so I certainly wouldn't be looking to get rid.

If we sign Walcott I think Tadic would love the runs he makes with his pace and Theo would thrive on it too.
Like those runs that Gabbs has been making persistently in his own invisibility cloak?

Which is where the need for a new manager becomes apparent. If you have Tuchel/Martino/Bosz you suddenly get players wanting to come and play for you.
 
Would you guys seriously want Sturridge?

Used to be excellent but since injury he's lost that electric short burst pace...his game was all about his pace.

Plus he's a lazy ****er.

You'd probably be better off with Ings. At least the guy gives 100% every time he plays.

Anyway I didn't think you lot wanted to deal with us anymore? <laugh>

Gotta love how fickle fans are. Me included btw.

Not so much fickle as recognising things have changed now....our priority is getting our side back into winning ways. That is why people aren't so fussed about VVD going (for the right price).....CB isn't our priority.

Likewise, not sure why you took VVD off us, Florin Gardos is so much better and less injury prone ;)
