Behave - at most clubs your target man is 9 and your fast striker is 10 - a la Higuain and Messi - means nothing.

The day I take being chastised from a band wagoner is the day I pack it all in.

What number was Beckford at Leeds?

Yes.....and Becchio was 10.

TrinityIHC seems to think Beckford was the target man last year and Becchio the fast striker.

Scunny want £2.5m for Hooper, we've more chance of signing Messi. We dont pay for transfers anymore, if there not free then we dont bother. Sheff U only wanted £1m for Sharp and we didn't make a bid so we've no chance of pay over double that for Hooper. Lloyd Sam will probably join as he's OOC.
We need someone in midfield badly IMO, Howson and Killa are lightweight and will get over-run week in week out. Also a centre half is needed.

Especially now we'll miss Paddy.

Reread my original post ...MOST clubs I said. Traditionally in football the target man has been given 9 and the nippy striker 10.

Viduka, Shearer, Fowler, for instance - anyway the point is the fact that Paynter has been given 9 doesn't mean that he is replacing Beckford. So just calm it down and then you can start raving again if we haven't got a replacement by the start of the season.

As said, Hooper would be a great signing.

Collins joins from Preston.

Not a bad signing, has proved himself at this level at least - I'm hoping we can snap up Demerit, another experienced defender wouldn't go amiss.
