Got to be happy with that. Great draw.

If its 3 by the 60th Toney is getting a debut against his former side, surely!

No messing around, I like it. Probably lose 1-2 but great start.

If we are selling Cisse we arguably need two strikers in, that said I wouldn't be that disappointed with Austin in, Cisse out. I am fast running out of patience with Cisse and he is getting on in years. It hasn't helped he has had zero service and I think he could still be useful for us, given service but given the choice of him or Austin I would pick the latter, who is in form and I think offers more. We still need a pacey striker that can create something out of nothing, not sure about the something out of nothing but Rolan definitely has pace, versatility and potential so it doesn't surprise me to see us still linked. None of the above helps us fix our need for another defender.

Desperately needs some relief in terms of support behind him and obviously, as mentioned, some service. Looks very impressive, works exceptionally hard, he looked spent towards the end. Looks like he will absolutely score goals for us given the opportunity.

He has an aura and confidence, if not a hint of arrogance about him, the latter is the key difference between he and Cabella who always looked insecure imo, I think it helps with a big move abroad been very self assured. scary we are close to having options out wide now with perez looking good, Aaron's coming through and sissoko available if needed. Any word on how Calum Roberts is progressing? Was hyped up as the second coming by Beardsley last year.

Going to be some player for us when he is up to speed and fitness for this league. Fantastic first half today, faded in the second but great shift regardless.

Tempted to keep him there with thauvin on the other side. Looked great today. Fear obertan will just switch wings though.

Real deal indeed. Very composed, pretty reliable, great in the air but played some surprisingly great passes and crosses too. Look forward to his big money move next summer lol.

Hit and miss, just like obertan. The misses however are far more noticeable. Hope sissoko replaces him.

Hope he starts on Saturday tbh. He won't but hope he does.

Nooooooooooo http://m.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/13619317.McClaren___I_don_t_expect_us_to_make_any_more_signings_in_this_transfer_window_/ although no real surprise.

Rather have Rolan or someone that can fit with the strikers we have and can play multiple roles. We miss pace and someone that can create something from nothing through the middle. I don't see Austin adding a whole lot more than experience in the premier League. Not convinced he can work alongside cisse or mitrovich and shouldn't be keeping the latter out. Either way would rather see us use that money on a LB and CB.

http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/19/snapping-up-expensive-possibly-available-liverpool-star-mamadou/ A good call. If not completely unlikely, we were linked with him pre Liverpool though weren't we. Why do they want rid, though he got rave reviews last season.

Whatever floats your boat mole.. it's your imagination, pick who you want.

Best of luck to him. Bit like mapou really, wrong time, wrong place and maybe not best suited to what we need and want here. Shame given how much our club staff hyped him up.

Pardew kicking himself for leaving now. Look forward to seeing Florian off the bench at the weekend.

New CB in January maybe? Really need a starting LB in the least right now. Need a starting LB, starting CB and up and coming RB to push Janmaat in that order imo.

I'm genuinely thinking that we have bigger problems at LB and RB. Obviously we need a new starting CB to replace Colo, but doesn't matter who is in the middle when they will get constantly raped from the side. Haidara seems to have gone backwards and looks like a rabbit in headlights, yet he is still better than dummett. Janmaat looks shakey but will hopefully come back to form. We have no-one to push him for a starting spot though.

Same with Henry took a long time to adapt but as looking great by the end of the season. Difference with Henry, Pires and Bergkamp is they were still given that time on the pitch week in week out.

Where are the airport pics. Man this forum has slipped....

so don't play him so he signs a new contract? what a strategy, can't fail Didn't say it made sense. Certainly the type of logic our hierarchy uses though. I can cope with a certain amount of blooding in time and wrapping him in cotton wool, just not when he is head and shoulders above the rest of our wingers in terms of talent. Has to feature more.

Being guarded in regards to playing him until he signs a contract? Surely already the best winger we have.

What are you talking about, man? What was meant to be a Giggs? His last tweet saying he is back in training this week, in response Sr to being asked when he will be playing for us again. assumed it would have already been posted...hence the giggs. Except giggs is entirely on me.

So no books for presents for nemtizz...Wow another book for my bookshelf.. no one told me I needed to read what's inside.
