Gary Gardner has a shot on him lets say he chips in with goals . Who can forget that hat trick against Ajax ! Sherwood will be on about it to him with Wilkins

                Gueye    Westwood   Delph

           Grealish                              Gil
                              Austin


I'm not sure how well Austin can play up front on his own. That's my main concern w getting him

there's  tenuous link to us looking at Jordan Ayew who could player as a second striker to someone like Austin

He's on about $130,000 a week in the US I'm afraid.

He's on mental money Mr Sox. Very few sides in Europe will offer him what he's on with Toronto. He's a super player and head and shoulders above MLS.

I saw him play live last month. He was the best player on the pitch by miles, even better than the Pele/Messi/Maradonna-like Jozy Altidore

$8.5m per season.

I'm sure there's money to spend, but probably not that many truckloads.

He's not going to make it at this level, sadly.

Started all of, what, half a dozen matches for us, with two horrendous injuries between then and now. That strikes me as a really harsh way to judge him, especially given the standard of some of the dross we've put up with in recent years.

He at least deserves a chance.

Particularly as he did a pretty impressive job in the upper reaches of the Championship the only time he's ever had a consistent run of games.

That's a sweeping statement about a player who was very good at the level below last season, his first time as a senior player being fit.

Whilst I think this is his last season with us if he doesn't break through I am hoping he does impose himself and 'make it'

Forest fans think he is brilliant from his performances there last season. If we were "buying" him from Forest right now everyone on here would be saying good potential, their best player second half of the season etc. As he is ours it is too late to make it not good enough. He needs time and a bit of patience.

I was at Yankee Stadium earlier to see NYC FC vs. Toronto. Giovinco certainly took his hat-trick well - the third was a quality finish lifted over the keeper - but my MOTM was the centre mid for Toronto, Collen Warner.

He broke things up, made some decisive passes including one for the second goal and was typically in the right place. Cheyrou the Toronto skipper also played well. Toronto deserved to win.

All relative as it is hard to compare the standard versus the PL but a cracking game that finished 4-4.  We sat in the noisy section which was interesting/fun - tho NYC FC fans waving yellow cards after a couple of fouls was a bit sad.

Boiling hot, bright sunshine and a range of (expensive) decent beer to buy without a queue and enjoy in the ground during the game was a really good too. Yankee Stadium is not too shabby either - not quite Villa Park tho  ;)

A really good day that I would recommend to anyone visiting NYC.

I have to admit, I'm still not happy with our options at centre-back. They're all decent players but - to a man - are injury-prone and I also think that we desperately lack an organiser back there. I'm sure I'll take some flack for this but, if fit, I'd probably opt for Senderos + one other to start for us at the moment, with Richards as a right-back.
