    Indeed, he comes with a pedigree, Prem is a step up but he needs the games. Hope he starts Saturday.

    You don't become and Argentina International by accident. The guy is class he just needs time, I think he is going to be an outstanding player for us. You don't have to play all 3 of Giacc, Alvarez and AJ, keep 1 on the bench as an option and rotate them. We can't go back to 3 at the back its dire....

    I really don't see why they can't all be accommodated. I appreciate Gus is loving this new 3-5-2 thing after getting Defoe in, but for me I'd still rather see us line up something like:

    --------------Pants--------------
    Rev----JOS----Brown---PVA
    ----------Seb----Catts----------
    Johnno-----Alvarez---- Muhammad Giachherini
    ---------------Defoe--------------

    I've put Defoe in coz it seems a waste not to, but honestly I think Connor could really profit in this system with those players around him...

    Give Ricky and Giacc the run in the team they need and we can play most systems that don't rely on blistering speed. There's so much first class technique between AJ, Ricky and Bitch Slap Giacc.

    That would be fun to watch. But, if you think Gus goes that way, I need a heads up. That would be my Fantasy team ****ed. Have PVA and Pants and there'd be goals galore!!!

    He was the best player on the pitch today, by a long run.. Although Fulham were dire, he ripped them to sheds.

    Giacc was ok, still looked too lightweight.

    Vergini was woeful.

    Overall we deserved the win and was a good performance.

    Alvarez' finish was tidy last night, just watched your highlights. Did he have a good game?

    Is he on loan or permanent?

    Bum Chinned Crab will be along soon to remind you all of how **** he is.
