Wenger was asked what he thinks about the situation at Saints today. He said we've produced players that as a team would win the European Cup. He says we'll come back and rise again because our scouting and our academy is superb.
Been told that Ings is actually our 3rd choice target for striker. His name has been put out so people think we get our first choice. No one outside the club knows who first choice is.
Yep, that is SKD's Achilles Heel. That, and his distribution. Oh, and... If you can find the odd Sunderland defeat on Youtube, from when SKD played for them, I'm pretty sure there's a couple of near post goals there as well. Jonno was certainly quick in those days. Poacher..! Did anyone notice Lee Barnard give the MK Dons keeper the EYES into the far corner, before he smashed it nearside..? Good goal.
Pleased with that...I know he isn't likely to come out and say we are relegation fodder...but that went beyond merely being polite. We have the tools to build ourselves back up again.
Aaaand sell again. Gotta reach European football before we have a batch of loyal home-grown talent unfortunately. FFP is kind of ****ing us.
Simon Austin, formerly of the BBC - now a freelance journalist, says that Koeman has decided that Billy Sharp is surplus to requirement and can leave.
I'm not sure why Bournemouth wouldn't bid for him. They've sold their top striker, they have decent money. Bet they bid.
