No need to worry we have chipped in for an English tutor for you so you can learn to read. If that doesn't work I've ordered some plates we can put the information on and some spoons to feed you it.

Complete Giggs??

If it means he will tank it then why not. Ominous quotes from dick. Wonder if they could even afford fat Sam. He will keep them up.

Who needs Cabella when we have the might of Marveaux returning at the end of year month!

Think he would be good for us but would absolutely prefer a pacey tricky forward that can play out wide and contribute more to the team. I trust cisse and mitrovich to get goals it chances are created for them. That is the biggest problem we have and Austin won't help solve that.

Pretty dissapointed if Cabella goes the other way. Think he still has alot to prove and offer here. Can't we give them gouffran instead?

Fingers extremely crossed... no news elsewhere though and "confident a deal can be completed this week" has become a cliche. Still firmly in the unlikely column.

Like two peas in a pod us and the Mackems will be rooted bottom of the table at the end of this month.

This. Bernard was a fucking tank but also fantastic coming forward. Real shame how Pardewed Santon got.

Not for the first time, jumping ship for bigger and better things has ended in total tears. People suggesting bringing him back obviously have no idea how much of a downward spiral he went on after joining Liverpool. Plenty of better options if we want a LB that will perform.

Will surely take up one of the spots currently used by Anita/Colback. Interested to see which though. He clearly likes Colback in giving him the armband but he is also apparently a big fan of Anita.

While we don't have a decent right winger Sissoko has to play there. Ideally we would then have Wijnaldum and cheik with dejong in front. Seems intent in at least playing one of Anita or Colback though.

Be mad not to, definitely not in the running for Berahino though. Austin brings proven goals in this league but not convinced he could partner Cisse or Mitro. We really need pace and trickery with the ability to create something out of nothing, like you say Berahino fits the bill.

Strange move for him. Surely has better options, one of which is staying put for another year.

Would be happy with that. We were linked, he is out or contract next year I think.

nice build up and goal.

mbemba back up RB

most exciting move in the past 4 years lol

And the award to the least exciting team in the premier league goes to... We really have zero quality in the final third. What is wrong with our players, they have to think so hard about coming forward there is no natural attacking ability on show, by the time we have carefully considered our attacks the opposition is always re-organised or back in numbers.

We need some serious stability in the centre.. Colo needs to sort himself out, whether he is having another crisis in confidence or not the club has backed him a lot since he went awol last time. Seems we can't rely on him anymore. Another CB is critical. Have been pretty sceptical about Austin coming in with mitrovic here as well but it gives us a proven goal scorer in this league of the bat and helps mitrovic settle. I hope it comes off. Still not convinced about playing them both. Still need a right winger that can cross and dare I say score a goal from outside the box. Would still like Matt Phillips but for the price quoted we could surely do far better abroad.

Tbh I took that as 18/20 people he sees as potential starters going forward not an 18/20 squad with no backups. Likely to be some players he doesn't rate/don't figure In his plans long term that we are looking to shift and younglings coming through.

Why is that hard to believe? Hasn't Steele already got himself a new job? Missed the above completely. DOH. http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2015/jul/four-new-interim-coaches-appointed-280715 Steele's new position
