With the ball, or without the ball?

With it. It's ok to have a player whose entire job for 90 minutes is to be a menace with the ball at his feet. Don't make me draw the obvious comparison because it's not fair to either of them.
-
And he's OK defensively. Not elite but puts a shift in.
-
My extensive scouting and analysis has revealed that Dyche is looking to sign US big-hitter Jack Reacher.
-
Don't tell Edu, he'll be all over it.
Percy says we are after the Wolves guy Strand Larsen.
-
West Ham are apparently not so interested at 40M. I don't know if we should be but it's not my money and we do desperately need a striker.
-
FTFY
Guess if we can get some back for Kali, then the additional spend looks better.
Is he any good?
-
Just looked on Percy’s twitter and can’t find anything where he has said this?
Edit: found a link elsewhere to the Torygraph article.
Seems West Ham are closing in on a Brazilian striker called Pablo for £20m
-
Brennan medical at Palace tomorrow.
-
Re: the striker thing, I wonder if it would be worth calling Chelsea about Delap. He clearly isn't settled there and while he's a bit of a dickhead, he does have that physical and direct style that would fit us well. Dyche can probably handle his personality without too much problem.
-
He's perma crocked isn't he?
-
He can keep Wood company then.
-
Hwg on Brennan to Palace.
-
West Ham close to a second striker in Castellanos from Lazio. Know nothing about him but they are going for it with early business and spending money.
-
There's a deep drive into left field by Castellanos, and that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'll be putting this headset on again.
(Only some of you will get this reference and that's OK.)
-
Kalimuendo on loan with an option to Frankfurt appears to be near. Assume that means someone in? We can't be intending to play out the remainder until Wood's return with just Jesus and Taiwo.
