Long would offer a different option to what we have on our books atm, mainly pace and finishing. If we got him and a creative midfielder (to replace Larsson) we would have a much better chance of getting out of the mess we are in. Despite all the doom and gloom I don't think we are too far off from having a team that can win games consistently against teams in and around us.

Fletcher would still be our best finisher even if Long was signed tbh.
 
When was the last time he "finished"?

Granted he's looked out of sorts this season, but injuries and how we've been playing hasn't exactly helped him + Poyet obviously prefers Jozy!

Altidore and Fletch don't compliment each other, that's where someone like Long would come in handy, he's a very direct and pacey player who would take a lot of hardship off Fletcher which in turn could free up space for him in front of goal.
 
Anyone against it watch that first half he put in against villa at home, f***ing amazing. If he could do that for us over the rest of the season id be chuffed.

I think it's about time people stopped making excuses for Fletcher.

He is fit but he's playing badly. If it's true about him drinking regularly then I'm not surprised. Di Canio questioned his attitude, Di Canio will have told it like it is.

His goal scoring exploits last seasons cannot be ignored, countless posters are making excuses for Jozy too are they not? On the basis of doing f**k all.
 
I was just thinking we should go for him whilst having a shite this morning. All my thinking is done on the pot!
