Hey, here's an idea..

 

Why don't we raid Toulouse again this summer. They've got a striker called Daniel Braaten who's banging the goals in for fun. He's only 5 goals short of that magical 10 goal benchmark for this season.

he can run quicker than any striker cept Sturridge

 

Not sure. On the two occasions that I have seen him in real life, he always looks like someone running up a travelator in the wrong direction.

 

His legs move very fast but he doesn't actually make much forward progress.

Now that's a cracking idea. Heard he's going to be a star of the future. Always got a smile on his face as well.

Get KD a pair of these:

He'd be good 'til he's 40 with these on his feet, we should plan our entire strategy based on this assumption...

 

Anyway, those who know football know Nugent is being brought in to act as popinjay for the fans, to keep KD sweet.

daz, how many strikers have scored over 10 league goals this season

 

Are you asking me because you want to know the answer?

 

Anyway, 23 players have scored 10 or more goals.

 

What's my prize?

here they are

some good names on there

 

bet we couldn't get more than 5 of them

 

yet when theres one we might get for nowt, folk aren't 'inspired'

 

why the fcuk are we still disputing the sense of getting him

 

 

i think we've had 4 seasons where one of our strikers has got 10 goals since we got promoted....that's why 10 is a fair benchmark

 

if we look at the ones who have 15, theres 150 millions worth there

 

 

and get either of the top 2, pushing 20...aye, good luck with that

ok, ok, cuntus

 

but you get my drift ;)

 

 

I do, twice. :tongue:

 

I was backing you up, sort of. Only 4 strikers have got 10 or more PL goals, since we last came up.

How many goals has nugent got in the prem for burnley and portsmouth? how many games?

a complete, utter, absolute, total irrelevance, despite his stats being pretty decent

 

 

he was written off as uninspiring despite the fact that he could score 10 goals

 

 

i'm not arsed whther we get nugent or not, i'm just interested why the thought of 10 goals for a freebie would provoke any discussion other than, can we persuade him to come

 

unless folk really do think we might get berbatov or tevez

Just out of interest Casino, there are a lot of coulds and mights.

 

I'm just wondering why you think he could or might get 10 goals. What is this based on?

i had high hopes for you seeing as your bro isn't a mongalongadingdong

 

Nugent is probably capable of 10 a season.

 

Hardly inspiring though.

I said he could possibly get 10. As in "if he played every game and had a good season, by his standards". I see that as the best we could expect from the signing. The trouble is though, it's not about the best possible outcome....it's about what is likely.

 

There are plenty of strikers in the Championship who 'could' get 10. I wouldn't question whether we 'could' attract them. I would question whether signing them is wise.

Posted

you didn't

 

Yes, I did. I said he was "probably capable of"....which means it is possible he could. I didn't say "he will probably get 10", which is different.

 

Probably being capable of something and probably doing something are not the same.

That's rich coming from a spastic.

Why? Because I'm not buying into your giddy notion that we 'may' sign someone who 'may' get 10 goals.. even though there is nothing to back up this up?

 

I was trying to give the most positive assessment. He got 6 for Burnley, but didn't play every game. He played 30, some as a sub, so I'd say he's probably capable of another 4 if he were allowed to start every game.
