mrs miggins 0 Posted June 11, 2015 The first link is about how his car was seized because of a road traffic offence.The second link was about how he got married and his previous on/off girlfriend is jealous.The third link is of him betting in a casino in which the spokesperson of the casino said he''s well behaved.In regards to Wonga (pay day loan company, not gambling), I wouldn''t wear the shirt if I was a footballer. I applaud him for having morals.Personally I think you''re being very harsh on his ''off-field'' antics, there''s really no story here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy gossip 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Yes, he said he wouldn''t wear the shirt as it promotes gambling, but he is later caught gambling himself. I agree dirt can be found on a number of players I''m not sure papiss suits our "family football" image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Yes perhaps we should''ve terminated the contract of our old captain Bassong when he posted a picture of himself holding a replica gun, or when long-time servant of the club Wes Hoolahan used disgraceful profanities to describe our club, or when Snodgrass had a fight with the city fans after we lost at Carrow Road, or when our old captain drove without a licence.come on people, get real here. The only thing you could really hold against Cisse would be his age and perhaps a few things on the pitch, e.g. spitting.Apparently we are about to sign Mulumbo, perhaps we should veto the move:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8bqqL2dnr8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted June 11, 2015 Stone Cold Steve Austin would be some signing, he could score goals and then celebrate by performing the "stunner" on the opposition manager. I would literally drive to Texas to collect him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy gossip 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Wes and his 30th birthday had some interesting events funnily enough but I guess only those present would know about that.You seem to hold cisse to a high regard, that''s fair enough, he''s just not my cup of tea. Can we be e-friends? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted June 11, 2015 I just don''t hold him in...low regard.If I was manager, heaven help us, I wouldn''t sign him unless it was for less than £4m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy gossip 0 Posted June 11, 2015 I think for a striker with premier league experience £4m is worth a punt and that does go for cisse (excluding my mentioned reservations - £4m would be worth the possible issues). There are a number who could fulfil this and zarate is another option I would like to see given a chance as being a first choice striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Zarate? Ironically he''s one person who''s known for his dressing room antics. It''s interesting you''d take a punt on him when the Hammers and the relegated QPR deemed him not good enough to get in their squad, why would he be a good candidate?

Jeremy gossip 0 Posted June 11, 2015 He does like his tantrums, technically he is superb. Why would he be a good candidate? I think he would be available for £2-3m, no high expectations so less pressure, technically he is superb. I think if he managed to control his tantrums, played regularly and got some confidence back he could score 15+ goals. If he manages that, sell him on, if not, we have only lost a few quid - not RVW money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy gossip 0 Posted June 11, 2015 I repeated myself about how technically superb he is... That''s how good he technically is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted June 11, 2015 4 times as well, he must be good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted June 11, 2015 Zarate couldn''t even get a game at QPR- good player but something suggests he (like RVW) maybe isn''t suited to the Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Some people baffle me.Cisse Vs Zarate?A center forward Vs a number 10. So one would compete with Jerome and Grabban, the other would compete with Wes/Andreu.I''d take Cisse if pushed of the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Not a fan of Cisse chicken? Is it his age? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the velez/lazio years and you will see this. As for competition for andreu? I don''t think anyone will take his place in the starting eleven. He''s been formidable for us.Austin would do wonders at Norwich but realistically a more established prem club would likely pick him up. If cisse becomes available, a team like galatasary would begin their pursuit again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
im spartacus canary 0 Posted June 12, 2015 Bit old isn''t he ? and why on earth would we want to sign an itv newsreader let alone make him our key signing that''s just asking to be relegated !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donkey dangler 0 Posted June 16, 2015 [quote user="mrs miggins"]Someone like Shane Long is expensive (rumoured to have been sold for £12m to Southampton) yet also doesn''t score enough goals (scored 5 last year, 4 the year before). [/quote]According to Sky Sports stats analysis I saw yesterday, Long scores a goal in about 210 minutes (or something like that). It used to be said that if a strikers could score 1 in 3 (i.e 270 minutes) that were thought to be good.I agree with your thoughts about foreign strikers and I feel that we may have to sign a foreign striker as there is not much available in Britain.
