A £3 B £3 E £3 L £3

£12 the lot cheaper than Iroegbunam

Trouble is it spells Bale, and £200k a week on a retired golfer just to keep him fit for Wales is a hit steep.

No to bale. We don't want to go back to the days of  player picking up a wage. We want players that want to win trophies.

No to Bale; no to Suarez.
Lange et al can do better than in terms of value and longevity.

Bale would be a Ginola type signing. Just never going to work.

Suarez does nothing to help with what we need longer term. Which is develop a top striker who can be with us for their peak, like Archer. If we need short term options, then stick with Ings.

Wouldn’t Suarez help with exactly that if we think Archer is that option?

Archer learning from Suarez the footballer would be no bad thing. He's been a phenomenal centre forward, if a bit nippy at times.

Bale, I just don't get it. He's been retired for 2 seasons. Even at Spurs he barely turned up.

He scored about 15/16 goals didn’t he?

I think it would be a lot worse to be honest. At least Ginola had been excellent at Tottenham not long before joining. To use an over the top expression I heard on here the other day ‘if Bale signs I think I’d just give up’.
I’d take Suarez though for a season whilst Archer continues to develop. Football wise he’s always been a good pro and seemed like a team player.

11 league goals in 20 games, the same as Ollie Watkins managed this year in 35.

Could you get 2 footballers more different than Golfer and Biter?
one looks like he couldn't give 2 fucks except maybe when he does his sons of Glyndwr bollocks and the other would probably go all rabid dog over a game of darts.

we wont be signing either though.

How is the Pogba signing going ?

Yep, don’t think we’re in for either. Nothing but gut instinct, but Bale feels like he’d be very expensive and not offer anything really. Suarez feels marginally more plausible, but I can’t help feeling that it’s been a bit too high profile for the way we go about things.

11 in 20! Sounds like he cashed in when they were home and dry too me, I thought he looked way off it there.

I can understand the Suarez link. The Bale one less so. Bringing up Pogba was a bit weird though.
