Some of these guys really do take the piss.

it means we arent getting any strikers capable of scoring, so we're going to play with 4 wingers instead

Inverted winger.

I think he wants us to think Hulk but it probably be someone less quality, Vucinic.

[BlueCrew LA]

P.S. If it's Vucinic there's no reason to be secretive. Everyone and their momma knows we're interested in him.

Goals from the side- goal-scoring winger. And since out&out wingers like Lennon and Bale don't score much, like BlueCrew said it's gonna be an inverted one.
We were linked with Xherdan Shaqiri today, he fits the bill?

Here's a nice article about inverted wingers and the tactical advantages. Good read.

Could be about Beckham maybe? He just scored off a corner, from the corner that is, a few days ago. Idk, I am probably wrong.

[Musashi]

Goals from the side? Hmmm... Gareth Bale?

Oh noes!!!! Bale is leaving!!!!!




Seriously..............

Yeah, I figured it was a statement that we weren't looking for an out-and-out striker but hoped somebody might be able to translate it into something more tangible. Basically, we could sign one of 50 different players and this guy could claim it was who he was talking about. Worse than useless.

Maybe it means we're signing Rory Delap.
