Re: Closing The Gap…

Foster and Flemming both have useful attributes, but neither is the answer when it comes to PL goals. Fully agree regarding Foster based on recent experience, but this does seem harsh on Flemming given that he spent most of last season playing out of his preferred position, still scored enough goal...

There are two completely different ways of looking at this neither of which is completely right or wrong, but it all about perspective and all depends on whether you are looking at it from above or below the dotted line.
