It's Quiet 32 - enter at own risk

He was one on the tip of my tongue. Who was the Irish one that we thought at the time that Mick.McCarthy had robbed us of when he went to Sunderland?

Stephen Elliot

Can’t think of a player in the world at min who could replace sergio? as an out & out goal getter, he will be seriously big boots to fill when that dreaded time comes

I agree,i'm dreading him going

That's the fella...fucking shite. McCarthy did us a favour.

There is one glaring area where we don't have any top quality young players coming through....striker.

Hmmm...to the Mbappe thread.

If only we had a 22yr old kid who owns the Brazilian no.9 shirt.

Note I said 'coming through the junior ranks'.

To my knowledge we bought Jesus and didn't bring him through the ranks.

He’ll be the hardest one of our “legends” to replace, almost un-replacable in my eyes, goal scorers cost serious money & nobody comes close to sergio

Nope,i replied to the quote 'top quality young players coming through'

Of which Gabby most definitely is.

Gabby isn't Aguero,but he can bring his own contribution that is equally as effective to the team cohesive.

We move on,we have done in the past,and we will do so again.

It doesn't matter how many times you say that,he is not a pure striker in the same mould as sergio,they are different players

Then you needed to go back to a previous post in which I replied to Karen that one area where we weren't bringing junior players through was striker. I then went on to post that we have always been shite at bringing players through in this position.

In fact we poached Sturridge from Villa so it wasnt quite a Foden type thing anyway.
