We only need 3 strikers with the system we play.

Soldado the main man, Ade back up.
Defoe for Europe and cup games?

Still 4 weeks to go, so Baldini could have some talent under the radar.
But Obika has to be playing Europa/League Cup games this autumn (with a view to shifting him come Jan if he doesn't perform) .

Doovde, you have to factor in injuries.
That aside, I want the group to get as much game time as possible.

So if Soldado can get his hat-tricks within the first 60 mins of a game, Defoe can have a 30 min run-out.

going on the past/history...

defo will score summat sick like 10/12 then spend the rest of the season offside.....

soldado has to be given so leeway.....but wld be 'triffic if he cld hit the ground running....

ade....meh.....history tells us......imo...he's not keen on not being seen as the main man........

Anyone think there is 35+ goals for any given pair, or 45+ in total ??

honestly....no....

but i know very lil about soldado.....

but that requires say....anywhere from 15/20 from ade and JD.....erm...not for me.

To get 76 pts, we need one or both of :

1. A GD in the 30s
2. Conceding less than 40

Given the events of this week, IMHO you can rule out #2. So ...

Facehugger I love how you have same fascination of the Alien films as I do Rdbd

The analogy is perfect.
One he signs for a club you cannot remove him without seriously damaging the 'host' .

And be careful because of his acid blood

The Ade blood burns thru the floor and drips onto your wage money.

Soldado will hit a screamer and/or hat trick against Palace, then not score for another 10 games and everyone will write him off. Then he'll get a tap in/deflection, get his confidence and then start banging them in.
