There have been a lot of young, pacey (mostly black) strikers coming through the lower leagues in recent years. We should find the next one

It may be assombalonga?

Why did you feel the need to mention skin colour?

It was mostly an observation. But I do actually think that it can be a factor. I think it's fairly well evidenced that at Least some black people have extra athletic ability and pace. I think that can come in handy in forward positions especially

Not that I'd mind a honky if he could offer the same threat

What a dick.

A tiny white one.

I really rate Wilson, I think he'd be a terrific signing.  Hopefully our new captain can have a word...
Is he black though?

Terrible racial stereotyping even if it is based on any scientific evidence!!

You'll see I withdrew the post on the previous page - sorry for any offence (slightly longer explanation on previous page)

Callum Wilson would be a brilliant signing - I'd be amazed if Bournemouth wanted to let him go.

Somehow TV the image of there being irons in the fire at the club is very satisfying.  Kevin Bond sticking one up Gabby's arse appeals no end.

Fire in the hole!

West Ham will allow keeper Darren Randolph, 29, to leave for about £3m as the Republic of Ireland international wants more regular first-team football. Now him and Michael McGovern on a free would be decent .

Then take Fletcher and robson kanu on a free. Cost effective.

I'd prefer Randolph to Pantilimon. £3m seems a good price to me.

Never buy on the evidence of a Euro / WC - there will be a reason McGovern played for Hamilton Accies, most pro keepers are good shot stoppers, there are a lot of other attributes that you would want to see by proper scouting....concentration, kicking, positioning etc

Likewise Robson-Kanu, one scuffed shot & running about a lot is not a recommendation.

Fletcher is so soft for a player of his physique, might do a job in the Championship but not sure he offers anything Gestede / Kozak don't.

Randolph did ok at BLose at this level so would be a decent shout although so did Steer so why not back the one we already have?

Reports today are that the incoming keeper could be Pierluigi Gollina from Hellas Verona.

I thought he was a referee?

Get him in, a referee could be useful.

You are confusing him with Pierluigi Goaliner the referee's assistant

Crystal Palace have signed Andros Townsend from Newcastle - that is a big blow to Newcastle.
