    Weird comments on here about him coming back when he was available on a free mind. Should’ve been all over it. I don’t blame the lad for jumping ship when he did.

    I would say I hope Speakman and co were watching how much we need a striker and how much it will put us on a whole new level, but probably not.

    Nope, 11pm

    I do wonder how much of it was Donald pushing him out to settle the Khazri debt...

    Wouldn't surprise me at all.

    He contacted Everton and sold our bonuses for about 100k.

    Heard that from both SAFC and Everton end. We were due a sell on or bonus if he signed a new deal.

    Watched the game with Birmingham earlier, he looks massive but he didn't really stand out as someone who could play as a championship striker.

    Really hope we start getting a breakthrough on the striker front next week. Would be nice to have one in for the upcoming games. Just want some links or something. It’s far too quiet on that front

    According to someone on RTG he’s got info for the first time from the spurs side that we’ve submitted a loan offer for Lankshear

    I wouldn’t mind him alongside a perm striker. Looks really promising and has been scoring in pre season

    I think each case has to be taken on its merits, a child can show more empathy than an adult, I have seen seasoned people in my industry with no man management skills but have also dealt with 21 year old's who have that skill in abundance.
    The reason I put the link to Wiki in their was to highlight that Alexander the great had conquered most of the known world by the time he was 30. Revered by his men and feared by his enemies and he was only young.
    There are numerous examples of these things, my point being I believe it is a mixture of a lot of things that make great leaders including age, and wisdom as a part of that mix but not only that. A great leader can be young and come to wisdom whilst leading as they learn about themselves or the can be older and with wisdom understand what it is to be a good leader. Both points of view I guess are not mutually linked but that does not mean that either is wrong it is just perspective and how we view the players chosen, who to be fair we don't really know them as individuals apart from brief media engagements or stories.
    I dont know any o

    Not sure I am interested in another burstow type loan from the PL. We have enough of our own young attackers to develop.

    We need experience and immediate starting striker. Mayenda and Rusyn can be the subs.

    His numbers at youth level are very good mind 32 in 35 last season if where I’ve looked is accurate but aye agree, wouldn’t be enthusiastic about him being our main man, fine as an option but I want an adult upfront this season

    From English teams, stansfield or the iraqi lad at Ipswich would suit us, if not I’d imagine we’re scouring the likes of Holland/belgium for value couldn’t name anyone like :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    On yesterday’s showing I would not be happy with Mayenda being our number 2 striker.

    he himself needs a loan out to somewhere he will start.

    we need two
