Yep. He engineered a penalty off Rosický, who looked as if his favourite pet had died. Dusan cheekily despatched it down the middle.One of my favourite away games that. Was it mane's first game for us?
It was written as a humorous piece with admirable self-knowledge, so just made me smile.

OK, that was an opportune jest, but we spent last season peppering opposition defences with crosses, shots, whatever. Yet, we often couldn't score. Several of us kept asking, through that summer transfer window, where the lead striker was coming from. We were anticipating fewer goals otherwise. We'd had Lambert, we'd had Pelle. These were guys who lead the line. They took the brunt of the attention from opposition CBs. Suddenly, last September, we didn't have one, Because Charlie isn't that type and there was nobody else. So are we changing style or will we get a proper replacement.? That is, we sign the guy to put the smile back on Dusan's face.?Back in the day when we could score...

Ok i struggled for DM's for that 3rd team but we have a lot of depth! Imagine how excited Puel would be with all the possibilities...
I just through i would include the 15/16 squad for comparison to show how much we've improved in depth. First team is probably worse now but when you consider that players like Romeu, Prowse, Yoshi, Reed etc have significantly improved since then its quite a difference in depth. i ignored Austin and Rodriguez as they were never really available to us.

Reports in Rome saying Hoedt bid about to be accepted and he has agreed a €1.8m-a-year contract with [HASHTAG]#SaintsFC[/HASHTAG].
So we did a deal with the player before the club.Reports in Rome saying Hoedt bid about to be accepted and he has agreed a €1.8m-a-year contract with [HASHTAG]#SaintsFC[/HASHTAG].

That is how transfers are supposed to work that people still don't understand
You get permission from the selling club and then negotiate and fee and contract simulataneously (with one perhaps concluding before the others)
He broke into the first team a lot last season.I have read stuff saying that lazio fans are saying he is their 3rd choice so it is a good deal
Looking at the stats online it suggests this is not true and that their first choice partnership last season was him and de vrij
Happy to be corrected
