There's me thinking I was finally being accepted like the lead character from the currently showing in cinemas near you D.Brent. And im not even middle aged.  Oh well . Like Brent said at least I had a go at being a rock star.
Maybe one day you guys will get me. I was only excited about a poll and if others wanted to see who thought Valencia was to be a success or not (deemed on 20 goals plus)

I give up.

Oh let him have his poll Dave.

Valencia would be VERY underwhelming. He's just not very good.

He's not garbage. The reaction is way over the top. I agree the 'world class' reference is over the top, if it's referring to him, but he's a pacy forward and could do a good job.
No he is garbage, I've watched a few games with my mate who's a hammer, he think's the same and he''s seen every game he's played.

Diafra Sakho is the better one but he's already injured.

Just because he hasn't settled at West Ham, where he's had a couple of nasty injuries, doesn't mean he's garbage. Lots of players struggle at a club and move on and do well. He has good attributes and his international record is great.

He'd probably be just fine. Not really good enough to be in the first team at a mid-table Premier League side, but somebody who will get 20 goals in the Championship.

Like Gestede, Hernandez, Gayle, Bamford or probably even McCormack.

Here's his highlights vs Bournemouth and he just looks like a fish out of water.

I hope the Valencia rumours have no substance...a striker gives everyone hope, particularly when the striker is hailed as "world class", so this would be a very uninspiring signing if true and would probably go down as Dr Tonys first mistake...in fact, I'd rather he didn't buy a striker if Valencia is the only option. I see this next signing as a Peter Withe kind of moment...the missing piece of the jigsaw to get us promoted...but if Valencia is that piece, then some dumb fucker mixed up the jigsaw puzzles for a laugh.

The world class comment was a little silly.

Enner Valencia is 1.74m tall. That is 5ft 8.5 inches tall. Not my idea of a No9/centre forward/central striker. More the physical build of an inside forward, the guy who gets on the end of the No 9 flick ons. And we already have McCormack for that role.

I take it Drogba has been thrown into the mix?
