Absolutely, I think he was exactly at Sturk and would be excellent for us. We don't have any bulk in midfield.

As the time ticks on we get closer and closer to Saturday , going in to that game with no striker will be fucking criminal and serious questions need to be asked of the people running the club
The 'offence' was committed way back in the summer going with just one striker, and a hunch at that. We needed at least one and probably two strikers even before Wesley got injured, so goodness knows what has been going on in recruitment for the last 5 months.

The question is why we didn't add in the summer, not so far this January.

It's not easy buying a decent forward at this time. We'll get somebody in.

I hope its Slimani, I know some are worried about his goal record but he's got more to his game than just goals. He would link up nicely with Jack.

Benteke and Nzonzi anybody? They would add height and power down the middle. Nzonzi has been booked 52 times and sent off 4 times in his career. I feel we need some aggression in midfield especially with SJM out. I sometimes feel we're too nice.

That's what we need, a few suspensions in midfield!

Only joking. I'd love us to get Nzonzi (and I wouldn't mind Benteke). We won't get Nzonzi though.

N'Zonzi is a nice idea although it would leave us a bit overloaded with center midfielders.

I don't know....stranger things have happened. I always liked Nzonzi at Blackburn and Stoke. A real enforcer in the middle. Get it done Pitarch!

We need a bit of presence in central midfield. Let's be honest Luiz and Nakamba are massively low on confidence on the ball now and seemingly scared to take. Hourihane...enough said. McGinn won't be back for a while so don't think it would be the worst move.

Barca changing managers and dicking the baggies around with the fee!. I've been told it's done and I honestly trust my mate 100%

Bizarre he went there in the 1st place. I presume his agent knew how these clubs operate with young foreign players? Must have been "compensated" well in wages though.

According to the baggies Fans it was all a conspiracy between us and Barca to get him to Villa without having to pay the compensation to them. Because that’s just the conniving thing the Vile would do 😂

Do you mean Lewie Barry going to Barcelona? If so, he's not foreign, they are. They're based in Catalonia in Spain.

heh, only conspiracy is barcelona hoovering up highly rated overseas youngsters to sell them on at a profit asap. I mean if they thought he was that good, you'd think they'd give him a contract  that ran past 18.
