These are the moments to savour, the few short sweet days when we can dream we're getting a world-beater before they have kicked a ball for us and reality sets in to spoil the illusion of greatness. EnjoyDo we know anything about this guy? Any good?
What's not to like? We need strikers on board.
Tom Keane?
Federicho Macheda?
Modibo Maiga?
I would suggest that this Chile international is not to be compared to these three.
Indeed!
I think he'll be good.
I'd still like to have seen SigueSigueSputniksson sign as well.
That deal is still on isn't it?
Tom Keane?
Federicho Macheda?
Modibo Maiga?
That's actually a good post/point Uber. In this age of internet immediacy we expect our club charges to deliver. Whatever our age and experience of following the R's we still get excited at any signing however tenuous. Regardless of whether we know or have heard of the player we maybe signing, we all secretly hope that he can hit the ground running. However, with the examples you have posted this is more often than not the case.
Sometimes the fields of diamonds lay beneath your feet.
Maybe we should go back to the 70s (and beyond) to when there was only one sub on the bench and the first team squad numbered about 16.
Not sure any of the examples that Uber gave scored in a World Cup against Spain though.
I think he's a class above those players tbh.
Presumably, with Remy a certain starter if he stays and OBZ a certain substitute, this sets up a battle between Austin and Vargas for the second striker spot. Excellent, can't remember when we last had competition for striker places.
Harry mentioned the other day that Vargas can play the no 10 role, so behind the strikers. Perhaps he is looking at playing all 3 (Remy, Austin, Vargas).
