Re-read my post please mate. I couldnt care less how old he is! I would love forlan and he is 2 years older. As i said I WATCH LA LIGA EVERY WEEK therefore i feel i can judge him as player as do watch his perfomances and have done all season. He has been poor this season and he has lost his place as a starter for Brazil. Negredro and kanoute are the normal starters for sevilla



but Fabiano is having a better season than Forlan

Fabiano in la liga 14 apps 8 goals

Forlan in la liga 17 apps 7 goals

both would be gaint upgrades on our jokers


and Brazil don't roll out the big guns in most of their friendlies they tend to rotate the shit out of their squad and then pick the best players for big tournaments

im a lurker who likes to lurk round sc only, and in particular this thread. I have no interest in slating anybodys information. I am just particularly interested to see if anyone/you know when we are gonna get a bloody striker and who it may be....

Hello.
Hey, no shame in lurking - I spent my formative years as a lurker and still enjoy a good lurk every now an then.
Plus, I don't always get much time on so can't always get involved in conversations.

All exlusive to SC of course but I think Adie's comment was more aimed at the spying type of shady lurker that our friendly neighbourhood SCers.

You feel free to lurk away my friend.

its a myth!!

a player when 29 is considered top of his prime , as soon as one day passes on his 30th bday, he is far too old, overnight the lad has lost is pace , ridiculous ASSUMPTION to make really!Eek just cos a player is 30 dont mean he has dropped 3 levels of class or fitness

He's right, Fabiano really has lost his pace and unfortunately that was a big weapon for him.

but Fabiano is having a better season than Forlan

Forlan in la liga 17 apps 7 goals

The stats say that Forlan isn't have as good a season, but if you watch both your eyes will tell you that Fabs is a far more terminal issue than Forlans, who is just in a rut. Over the past 7 years one has had 6 very good seasons, one has had 2. I know which one I'd want.

Again as in the summer Gazzetta dello Sport horoscope has accurately predicted who we are linked with for the day. In the summer the very freakily pictured a player 4 days in a row who we were subsequently linked with. Today on the horoscope they feature Luis Fabiano. Coincidence?

Let's get some perspective here, Notions of Benzema coming to the Lane have raised expectations to the extent where some would be less that delirious with other names now.

The reality is this though.... Benzema, Suarez, Fabiano and Forlan are all better than what we have and any one of them would be a great signing right now.

None of them are risk free, none are proven in our league some are ageing and pretty much all would cost large fees and big wages, but we are at a cross road right now.... we need Champions league football again next year and without an upgrade in our striking options we will not finish in the top four in my opinion.

Any one of these strikers will give as a much better chance of coming in the top four again and that is thr only priority this year, so even if a striker can't play in the CL this season we need one to ensure we are back there next season and can continue making forward strides (not one step back in the hope of 2 step forward)

I personally will be delighted to bring any of those 4 strikers listed, we need something and each has the potential to 'save' our season.
:clap: 100% agree

so let me get this straight, he's lost his pace but he's still scoring at the same rate

that would suggest that pace wasn't a big weapon for him or you 2 are just full of it

Paul Allen Gym Update

I heard it's back onto Fabiano now?

Yeah…well…fingers crossed one of them will sign before next week.

Please note I have a five year plan whereby I slowly build up my friendship with him at the gym until he invites me over for dinner and introduces me to his family, then introduces me to Clive at a Christmas gathering, then Clive introduces me to Harry then Harry introduces me to Levy. At which point he offers me a role on the board and as a consequence I become SC's professional ITK.

Unfortunately for you, Paul is currently looking at new gyms in the area to get away from the freaky guy who keeps interupting his workouts with talk of foreign strikers...:)

PS. Does he have a little dirt stain on the chest of his shirt when working out? I only ask because if you ever look at a picture of Allen during a match, he always had this weird little stain on his shirt. I assumed that he was a dribbler.
