Everyone, including Brendan, knows our attack is poor and we still struggle to finish games. It is our MAJOR weakness. So what are we doing about it? Signing a 9m goalie, a 7m unknown spanish midfielder, and now a 7m u21 defender?

Who's smoking what?

I hope we pull off a spectacular signing to improve our attack, otherwise, we are royally doomed.

Deeply worried.
 
I'm surprised no ones asked this in the other million threads out there. I'm surprised you havent mentioned this in the other million threads out there. Oh.

is it our major weakness ? Suarez scores a fair whack and sturridge is shitting goals at the moment . i agree to an extent , we struggle to finish games but I'd be more worried about our midfield which i think is awful .

but the major reality is we are average all over the park , we could do with adding quality in many positions so i agree , was spending money on squad players who aren't going to lift the quality level wise ?

anyway we all know this so it's nothing new to debate , it's boring .

Different points, albeit everything is related.

If I was some sort of vexatious poster who posted dribble every second I would understand your concern about me cluttering up the forum. But I'm not.

I'm sorry for expressing an opinion on a football forum. I'm sorry for posting a thought. I'm sorry you've taken time in your busy life to reply to a pointless post.

Feel better?

No our midfield is our major weakness. That should be resolved before thinking about attack.

Is "fresh" another word for "cluttered"?

Disagree, we lack depth and potency in our attack compared to others. Coutinho off form, or a sturridge injury and we are doomed.

Our midfield is, comparatively, ok compared to others.

We still have suarez and aspas who i think will come good. Our midfield is weak and gets overrun. Why do you think AVB is buying so many midfielders? Why did mourinho flood midfielders against manure? Its all about midfield. He who controls the midfield has more chance to win the game...its not absolute obviously but you get my drift. When we had the best midfield in the world (aaahhh memories) we would go to places like stanford bridge, control the game and then take our chances. A stronger midfield would give us better balance between defence and attack. But just focussing on attack we'll just end up like keegan at newcastle (first time) or even worse when ardiles was manager of spurs.

Our midfield is slow, too slow.
 
Let's be honest - if we go on to get one I'll be pleased, but I feel pretty fed up with the idea of signing expensive players. If they come at all they only come with a bag full of problems, they inspire endless drivelling nonsense about their fee, and within months they spark tiresome speculation about them going elsewhere. So I'll be satisfied if we go after more Coutinho types - young, up and coming players who have the potential to become massive stars whilst acquiring a sense of belonging here. So as I said elsewhere, the 'marquee' label is a very unhelpful distraction. We don't NEED to compete with other clubs buying those kinds of players. We need to do well enough with lesser-known players in order to reach such a status again where we CAN cherry-pick a couple of stars each season. We've got some top scouts in place now - let's hope they help us bring in someone with real talent whom we can actually afford.
 
This topic sucks and is now about famous Marquis'

  • Mercury Marquis and Mercury Grand Marquis, luxury cars
280px-Mercury_Marquis.jpg


The Mercury Marquis is a vehicle produced by the Ford Motor Company under its Mercury brand from 1967 to 1986. It was produced for several generations as the Mercury counterpart of the full-size Ford (its direct equivalent was the Ford LTD); in 1983, the Marquis became Mercury's mid-size car. The highest trim level of the Marquis, the Grand Marquis, continued in production as the full-size Mercury product line. As Ford Motor Company adopted front-wheel drive cars during the 1980s, the Marquis was phased out after the 1986 model year; it was replaced by the Mercury Sable, the twin of the Ford Taurus.


280px-03-05_Mercury_Grand_Marquis_.jpg


The Mercury Grand Marquis was a full-size rear-wheel drive luxury sedan sold by the Lincoln-Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company; the Grand Marquis was the flagship of the Mercury lineup. The nameplate had been in use since 1975 as the premium trim level of the Mercury Marquis; the Grand Marquis became a distinct model in 1983. The car was essentially Mercury's twin of the Ford Crown Victoria with which it shared the Panther platform along with the Lincoln Town Car. After the discontinuation of the Crown Victoria at the end of the 2007 model year, the Grand Marquis had largely taken its place as the entry-level Panther-platform model.
The Grand Marquis was manufactured at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant in Southwold, Ontario, Canada though it was also produced from 1983 to 1985 at Ford's St. Louis, Missouri facility. With the discontinuation of the Mercury brand, the Grand Marquis ended retail production in October 2010 while production for fleet sales continued until January 2011.[1] The last Grand Marquis, which was also the last Mercury ever produced, rolled off the assembly line on January 4, 2011.[2]

Condescension doesn't work on me.

No one said you can't have an opinion. BUT if you express one, you can't expect everyone to agree. Especially as its a rehash of a previous point in most people's eyes.

You want big money exotic players - a marquee signing. Others don't. Be boring if we all agreed.

Plus your avatar. Why put the head of that cheat over the top of Steven Gerrard as he lifts number 5? It's doesn't make sense to me.
 
I just want players who will considerably improve our first team. I couldn't give a toss if they don't cost megabucks. That bit is irrelevant.
