Re: Hal Robson Kanu - Secret Striker?

But he hits it hard and that's a pretty good replacement for composure at this level. He's also pretty good at shanking them in, like his shin into the top corner last season which RFC hilariously described as a wonderful chip.

Re: What to do with the surplus funds?

The players now get Kobe beef with truffle oil and saffron followed by bird's nest soup for their meals at Hogwood.

Re: Hal Robson Kanu - Secret Striker?

I'd say he started to come good in Aprilish time but that's obviously because before that he wasn't used to being a winger and thought effective wing play was running as fast as he could straight at a defender or standing still until someone decided to tackle him.

Re: Obita

Yeah the carling cup match. Doubt he'll be involved against Millwall unless a couple of players get injured but the next game could be a good way to introduce him to competitive football and see where he goes from there.

Re: Obita

Only played league 2 opposition so far. The Charlton game will be a better judge of where he's at IMO.

Interestingly, McDermott apparently told Jon Fordham that he thinks Obita will end up playing just off the main striker, similar to Gylfi.

The U16s won 2-0 in the Milk Cup if you're interested.

Re: RUMOUR - Shane Long to West Ham

Maybe, but I still think McDermott would feel let down if Long went to West am, him saying Long would only go to a Prem team felt like that was something Long had said to him.

Re: RUMOUR - Shane Long to West Ham

Would be very interested in BMcD's reaction if mad JM and the Hammer sell him to West Ham, I seem to recall that he said that wouldn't be sold to another Championship side, could be an interesting couple of days if he is ?? I think he'd be more upset with Long for choosing to sign for another Champ...

Re: BaLOLoteLOLi

It was a great individual publicity stunt, nobody would have given a shit about the game if he'd just scored or missed normally. Instead he's being talked about in every paper today. Clever.

Re: Do you think Long will stay?

He's far more effective at getting goals than putting in crosses or setting up team mates anyway so he may as well play as a striker. I dont think he has the kind of acceleration needed to get past decent full backs either but he has good pace over a longer distance and is powerfully built so he may...

Re: RUMOUR - Shane Long to West Ham

Didn't he say he'd only move to a prem team? He would be better off staying where he's settled for another season and doing well than risking it at Wham.
