You know full well players can naturally play in more than one position and all of those (plus Moses and Antonio) can all play on the right.

These last few days have made me realise the EXwhu guy is a bit of a t*t. I don't really mind the ITK stuff and whether he is genuine or not doesnt altogether bother me. But hes so rude about other people. Happy to mouth off about how he revealed Nolan (even though he himself had to give credit to Kumb and Jinxed the day before) and today having a pop at people who reported the club had any discussions over Hernandez yesterday. Right or wrong, really is no need to be an arrogant d*** about things.

I wonder if some of them are back ups for each other, so it will be a case of Moses or Antonio rather than both. Maybe even we got a vibe from Moses that he wasn't too keen, which is why we resurrected the Antonio interest. Who knows?

It's all just speculation and rumour and I just want it over with now.

Go and get pissed out of your skull and when you wake up tomorrow afternoon it will all be over.

"Michail Gregory Antonio is an English footballer who plays as a winger for West Ham United. Antonio has represented a number of Football League clubs, including Reading, Cheltenham Town, Southampton, Colchester United and Sheffield Wednesday. Wikipedia"

Wiki jumping the gun again? Or does someone know something we don't?

Out of Moses, Ljajic, Antonio and Sisto, Sisto is the only naturally right sided player.

Is the deal for Sisto dead ?

Booooo! Billic out..Pardon?
I've seen Moses play on the right plenty of times. He can play on the left or the right.

Wasn't really thinking of the player to be honest mate, more the team in the clip he was playing against was Reading who Kebe was playing for when the arrogant p***k pulled his socks up.

Antonio's goals at Forest last year. Number 5 at exactly 1 minute is top notch... Get it done Daves!

Edit: It seems from the video that he can play left or right as well...

shows to me that bilic knows exactly what he's doing in the market. said all along that another expensive striker would be a luxury option.

man u, liverpool and arsenal combined have 8 goals between them this season, they're teams that are crying out for a striker (well, dippers got theirs but ain't working out for them). we've got 9 on our own, results have a mixed bag but putting it in the net hasn't been a problem.

what's more, all three goals that have come from our strikers have been solo efforts. bilic promised us goals from midfield and that's what we've got.

Only youtube but shows he's two footed, can score all types of goals and could also be effective through the middle

Antonio is a handful and reminds me s bit of Bolasie who could look stupidly average at times in the Championship in terms of poor control or crossing. He's raw but his best attributes mean if he polishes his touch or passing then we could have a great asset. It also shows the board to stop passing on signing good young championship talent because they are 'not ready yet'. Could have had Antonio from £1.5m last year and now paying five fold of that.

Jelavic is a good signing and not as slow as people make out. Brings others into play and gives 100% effort. He is a good finisher but does miss some sitters. I think he'll be a fans favourite if he avoids injuries.

Moses is a quality signing. I'd rather we signed him permanently because I can see another Jenks situation here. Anyone know if theres an agreed price if we want to sign him at the end of the loan?

Song is the best of the lot though, just a shame is isn't available to play straight away but there you go. Anyone who thinks he won't be first choice is deluded. He only looked so poor after Xmas last year as he was carrying a injury that needed surgery. Song, Kouyate and Payet will be beautiful.

Thanks for all the info Jinxed.

Finally, I don't like constant mugging off of exwhuempoyee. Does this forum no favours IMO. Rise above it.

This Antonio player looks interesting. I rarely watch the championship but I've heard he was very good for Forest. Championship TOTS of the season and 25. Hopefully, he works out as well as Cresswell.
