    ...regarding the old striker woes.

    Best can score
    He is a poacher and will get us goals (like Nolan last year). Might not be the quickest or most skilful but he will get us goals that will win games, like Sunday.

    Ba improving
    Quality player IMO who is getting better with games, got a great assist Sunday after a lovely ball from...

    Obertan!!
    Also improving, fast as lightning, bit of confidence and this lad could be big for us. Can play off the striker or on the wing.

    Ben Arfa to return
    Can play off the striker in what I am expecting to be a favoured 451 this year, if he gets a good run of games again he could be big, I just hope we don't rush him back. His creative spark is something our team lacks.

    Ameobi injured
    All jokes aside, we know PR-dew loves shola, but he also says he will play people based on form (hopefully meaning Best gets more games than this slug), and Ameobi will pull his facking socks up.

    Sameobi
    need I say more

    January transfer window
    Opens in 4 months! And we know we will spend huge amounts of money!! Or at least if we are struggling come December it will show in time to get someone in on loan (we know Ashley is allergic to spending money).

    We didn't sign Carlton Cole
    Shove that up your arse

    We can actually defend for once
    Ironic isn't it, for years it was always our dodgy defence that let us down but we are strong in this department (until injuries and suspensions ravage us like Ashley ravaging his usual 1030am sausage and bean pasty).

    tiote
    Need I say more

    There are some positives, along with our decent start this year. Don't be mistaken I am not defending Ashley one bit, but then I can't believe people actually bought into PR-dews nonsense. That money was never being spent, Ashley is a shrewd business man at the end of the day.

    ...and if you are still flicking your sour grapes maybe you can take some consolation in the fact that that fat slag Amy Carroll is sat on the bench week in week out looking glum and missing Chris Hughton's fuzzy head and soft voice (don't we all).

    We still have 1 of the weakest set of stikers in the Premiership. If we were about to spend nearly 11 mill to hijack a striker going to Fulham ( panic buy all over it from us } then why wasnt this used a lot earlier. Llambarse / Charnley need to hang their heads in shame Ashley is happy with a 17th position no ambition to get us to a top ten.
    I rate the likes of Stoke a bigger club now than us.

    Panic buy or smoke screen to show the fans we are really trying??

    We had one of the worst strikeforces last season (January onwards) and we did ok, this season we have an improved squad IMO and there are at least 3 teams I can think of with weaker strikeforces than ours (Blackburn, Swansea, Norwich).

    Ruiz is a total smokescreen as we only matched the Fulham offer and the guy had already signed (but not announced) when we did so. Its pathetic!

    If Sameobi is Sameobi does that make Shola Shameobi??

    Anyways,Best/Ba/Ben Arfa will do ok between them. Not the greatest we have ever had but I can think of a good eight/nine teams with strikeforces and in general squads worse than ours!!!

    We have at least another 4 months of watching Best stand off-side and then look blank when he gets flagged, Shola well being Shola, Lover thinking he still has pace and getting outpaced by Upson. Then January will come we will have a month of hope and again on deadline day we will get well we tried but no one wants to sell in January, then we will stumble our way through the rest of the season

    Our best hope now is that someone comes in for Lovenkrands, Ameobi and/or Ranger and Ashley is forced to realise we need another striker.

    Best will get us goals, if he starts. And yes it should be Shameobi, on more than one level.
