Why oh why can't we pay the 3 million for Nugent?  <_<

Nugent may be a good player, but from what I've seen he hasn't got the physical presence we should be looking for. What we need is a big man up front.

You've been watching a different David Nugent.

 

He reminds me of Dave Kitson whenever I see him, which is a good thing.

 

Won't be prolific, but better than we have available.

Anyone else hoping to hell that Woodgate chooses us over Boro for his loan season? :lol:

I am, I'm also hoping we get another midfielder in, even if it's not Gravesen.

Seem to remember another Real player coming in similar circumstances, let's hope it doesn't end the same.
