    If MON is true to his word regarding 2 strikers = 30goals , we should all relax regarding the possibility of out of contract Heskey coming next year as he clearly dosn't fall into that equation. These type of players are the hardest in the world to find, every team outside the top 5/6 are all looking for the same combination hence the reason why they tend to bring the highest transfer fee and get the largest salaries. Who do we go for ??? No idea but I bet MON already knows.

    Fletcher is a good targetman (AKA Quinny) who will score between 10 and 15 goals per season. He will cost around £6m or £7m imo. We need an SKP to play alongside him who will pitch in with 15 to 20. Thats the one that will cost the biggest investment and Mon's has been on about this lad from Hannover for over a year alongside Cisse to be fair. If he cost £12m or £14m and scores 15 to 20 goals next season, we will all have much to celebrate come May 2013.

    Leave a trail of of Doritos Cool Original, (must be cool original) to out side and before you know it, it will be gone. A glass of Dr Pepper outside, would also help draw it out.

    Now, I do like Dorito's, I only have tex-mex though....

    It's currently bouncing about the kitchen, seriously, it's the biggest i've ever seen!

    I'd say 6inch long, 2 wide, awful.

    ****ing insect mating season, there's creatures ****ing everywhere!

    It's stupid to say things like "without this guys goals, they would have struggled".

    Without Cabaye we'd have lacked creativity in the middle of the park. Without Krul, we'd have conceded more goals. Without Coloccini we'd be less tight at the back ect.

    If he hadn't have gottan Ba or Cisse we'd have got someone else, and who knows how many goals they would have scored. Maybe more?

    It's not luck when a player comes good for your team, our scouting system is excellent, and it's not lucky that most of our buys have turned out to be amazing this season.

    We've bought with a good plan. We bought a great defensive midfielder, a great creative midfield, a fantastic winger, two great striker, a potentially great full back. We didn't chuck money at any of them, they were all sensible choices that were discovered by our scouts.

    As I said, saying we'd not have done well without a certain player is stupid because we would have got someone else.

    You mean like when we sold Bent and were influxed with a load of your lads telling us we were ****ed?

    Admittedly, we were, but the principle remains!

    Good shouts, but I think Arsenal are looking at Kalou.

    Replace him with Cisse, and we'd be set!

    You can't make ignorant comments about a clubs success then be obnoxious towards their fan(s) for correcting you... don't be a fool.
