That's a really depressing update. Not just about Zambrano but the reports that Blackburn aren't in for Baker and Birmingham have moved on from Laurent.
Christ I need a drink...

I don’t get his insistence that Burger shouldn’t be further up the pitch. He can do everything, why would you limit him? He can tackle, pass and shoot. His long range shooting I think will be a part of us scoring more goals if he can get enough shots off. It’s pretty obvious Burger is a box to boxer to me. And a bloody good one. Quite easy really because he doesn’t suit the HC’s game plan. Can you honestly see him replicating the slick interplay in and around the box of Cundle of late last season. He is more suitable for a classic box to boxer but that is not Schu’s vision. He’s a top player and I’m sure he’ll make a fist of whatever he does but everything about him is better from deeper in the pitch. Funny how his coaches of his earlier career have all thought the same but then you’ve probably decided they’re idiots before you even know who they are. Cundle wasn't a box to boxer |

How does Pete know everything about the transfers, do the club tell him?

What kind of midfielder is he? Think Bryan Robson crossed with Zinedine Zidane. With Pirlos vision And Kantes tackling and engine |

He’s a bugger is Pete Smith. Rarely has any exciting transfer scoops but is always ready to swoop in and take away our dreams whenever we get a whiff of an exciting transfer.

Well done Smithy clearly been told by Stoke and stopped endless hours seeing if anything in it.
All a bit depressing though. But chin up chaps!

As decent as he looks in that YouTube clip unless we get serious money coming in for one of our players I think we’d have been mental to spend that type of outlay on him, when we’ve got such a glaring deficiency up top.

I agree but do think people are underestimating the midfield too. We have one player good enough to be a regular starter in midfield imo. |

His long range shooting I think will be a part of us scoring more goals if he can get enough shots off. It’s pretty obvious Burger is a box to boxer to me. And a bloody good one. Box to box definitely. He's not a DM as he isn't disciplined enough to sit and wants to be involved everywhere on the pitch. Him and Sidibe as box to box with this guy, if he adapts to English football could be a brilliant midfield three. Good DM’s don’t just sit. Is that what you think Kante does ? |

I think he will. Too many people getting carried away here. A: its a bull shit story anyway B: if it was true, somehow, he'd be our best player, he'd be straight in the team the only way this could have been true would be if we're buying him for someone else as a favour to them, like we did with Richie Delat |

Cundle wasn't a box to boxer Guess what that’s because Schu doesn’t want a classic drive up the pitch box to boxer. There are not 3 different roles in his ideal midfield. A DM who doesn’t just sit and two 8’s who create and score goals ( these tend to be smaller buzzy technical players adept at slick interplay in and around the opposition box but with big engines that see them pressing and working back too). High risk, high reward football. |

Him and Sidibe as box to box with this guy, if he adapts to English football could be a brilliant midfield three. Good DM’s don’t just sit. Is that what you think Kante does ? Kante doesn't play holding midfielder. Played in a 2 at Leicster and plays as an 8 for France. Tchouameni plays 6. And good DMs do just sit. That's the fucking point of them. They link the play between defense and midfield and dont get caught where they shouldn't be. |

Because Pete Smith knows as much as the other ITKs. He didn’t know about the foreign lads last year until last minute!
