  1. Faith Healer all the way! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rQ6BBc8f6Y
  2. I've just read about his retirement, and I came here immediately.
  3. I remember Kane's spell with us well, as I've seen his only PL start in green and yellow in the flesh against West Ham at Upton Park. It was the fist post-Holt season under Houghton, when we were trying to play a lone striker-based, ultra-defensive game without a proper lone striker. In hindsight Kane could have been the answer, but he did not get much game time, partly because of an early injury. On that game he looked as lonely as a lone striker would get as we were sitting deep, trying to whack balls every now and than in his direction, looking to young and inexperienced to do all the tussle and dirty gamesmanship this setup would have required (and to fill in the hole Holt had left). After that game Kane went back to the bench as we bought in Becchio and Kamara, so no-one was missing him much when he got recalled by Spurs.
  4. Too right. No prior sightings in ASDA? Pff. Quagiarella was the real deal.
  5. Maybe he felt outshined. Woke up one morning looking California and feeling Minnesota, then called his agent.
  6. Furthermore, his situation in Leeds would be more like when he took us back for the second time freshly after relegation, and not when he did it for the first time, when he had to build the team almost from scratch.
  7. Sorry for responding so slowly, I haven't been around for a while. Shafer is an exciting young player, who has been injured a lot lately. He picked up three injuries since November, and has been mostly out for the rest of the season. Although his latest injury seems to be a light one, and will probably be fit by the start of the season I don't see why would ha want to play Championship football instead of Champions League with Union Berlin. I'd rather recommend another Hungary international, Callum Styles (who is actually English with a Hungarian granny 🙂 ), who plays in the same positions, but a bit more versatile, plus with some 130 Chumps games under his belt he know this league in-and out. He spent the last season on loan with Millwall from Barnsley, who are willing to sell (around 3m) or loan him out again. On basis of the Hungary internationals I saw involving one or the other player I think Styles is as good as or better than Shafer and a more realistic target for us.
  8. OK, thanks, I missed that. I thought he'd focus on the national team and stuff. Happy that at 33 he feels he has left enough in the tank for that.
  9. You've beaten mne to posting this. Apparently Todd's working hard to maintain his contoversial image up North.
