I actually think he will go after a CF, even he knows we desperately need one as evidenced by going after Ba. But he'll go after somebody like Ba again and we'll probably end up with a bang average loan signing. We certainly won't be forking out for the quality striker we need, that's for sure.

I'm actually a big fan of Podolski and feel he's copped a lot of stick for his work rate amongst other things, and I would love to see him play as a striker given his instinctive finishing. I don't think we've seen the best of him, not even nearly, nor will we if we continue to banish him to the wing and ask him to babysit whilst Gibbs bombs forward. But a lone striker he will never be.

£5 cup of coffee? That's an absolute steal at our place. Presumably you have to pay extra for sugar, milk, boiling water or if you would like them to grind the beans for you first?
