So we're having a meltdown over Senderos as well now? I can't keep up with this
Quote from: paul_e on June 03, 2014, 11:00:04 PMMy issue though is, where in that list do we sign someone to 'fit'; a starter means Clark and Okore fight it out for a place on the bench, I can't see either being happy with that and I think both have enoujgh about them that I want to see them play; a 4th choice means continuing the trend from last summerof buying squad filler rather than first teamers, which isn't really where we should be.I'd much rather go with Vlaar and Okore as starters than waste wage money on the likes of Senderos, who aren't any better, and spend the money on a left back instead. There's a decent chance Vlaar, Okore, plus back up from Clark and Baker would be just about enough, whereas I can't see either Bennett or Luna cutting it at left back.

When he was at Arsenal, Senderos was my favourite 'comedy' defender. The one who looked like he'd won a competition to be in the team. I won't be laughing if he signs for us.
If it keeps Baker and Clark further away from the first team, it's fine with me. I can't watch them any more.

Hoolihan will be in next. Cheap and cheerful.
I'd be very happy with Hoolahan. In fact, it'll feel like Christmas if we sign him, compared to how I feel at the moment. It feels like the first Monday in January.

It feels like the first Monday in January.And it is raining.And you've got a rat hanging off your foot.We walked past Snappy Snaps the other day, I pointed out the location and made a rat comment as we passed, as I have done every single time we've walked past there since your amusing story.
