Too fat

Sissoko with the terrible passing again

But he's a French international you know...

HBA still so sexy on the ball

I would love us to come out and press heavily.

HBA still fat as fuck man

18-20m is realistic.

they aren't serious.

They won't need a DM. 2 CM's and an AM in most games. 2 of the midfield 4 will be on the bench.

What? It worked a treat for Everton but obviously it's not a good fit at Man united.

I rate Soldado but he lost pretty much every header. His movement did look sharp but he's not on the same wave length as the rest of the side yet.

Sirgudsson had a very good effort and some decent deliveries. IMO he should try to become a real CM. You need your AM to have more guile than he has. It's the reason why all this Cabaye further forward talk is non-sense to me. Unless you're playing on the counter and your AM can spray long through balls, an AM as to have some real guile to his play. Or else he's just a shooter and needs 10-15 goals to justify selection as basically, a second striker. Marveaux has the bit of skill, balance to skip past a man and cause some havoc. cabaye doesn't. Neither does Suigurddson

saw Spurs in the flesh. Didn't really get out of second gear but only Capoue out of the new signings really impressed. The bedding in period might be awhile fro the new lads.

Was at Selhurst Park yesterday, my god Crystal Palace are terrible. They haven't invested very much at all. 40 year-old Kevin Phillips was noe of the few to have some Premiership movement and guile. reckon they'll finish rock bottom unless they buy at least one defender, midfielder and attacker of Premiership quality. Dean Moxley was double teamed by Lennon-Walker again and again but although he gave away the penalty, he looks to have something about him. As for Spurs. Dawson's passing was pretty impressive, kept hitting diagonals to Rose who was very good. Kyle Walker is a tremendous athlete, strong and quick - needs to work on his final ball. Vertoghnen looks cool as ice. Capoue looked good when he came on but offensively nobody impressed. Chadli improved with more space in the second half I guess.

Fucking Mourinho leaving my Captain on the bench. Your vice gets double right? That's Benteke. Might take Mata out next week and bring in RVP. He's looking like a no-brainer again.

What about the stature of our club? I know it seems hard to believe now, but for a couple of seasons around the Keegan era they were looking up the table wondering how they could achieve our CL position. Hate to say it.. but that was 15 years ago. Blackburn won the PL and they are in the Championship. Villa won the Champions League. It's as relevant as that.

Bassong n'zogbia

Jose barely rotates.

He won't do it this year imo. Not unless he gets Suarez. That's what they said when they sold Fab/nasri, then again when RVP went.

Genuinely think they might be better without him. Their form didn't dip when he was suspended. Gave Sturridge a boost if anything.

Agreed.

Yep I wasn't keen on either Downing or Bent but it is looking like we may get nobody.

He's in the first team squad for Manchester United. And if Moyes likes him as much as Fergie did, he'll get too many games to be loaned out. But not enough to really kick on.

A team with Bent & Berba up top for 25-30 games won't get relegated.

They are an old team so I don't think they can afford to press heavily away from home. Have they added any legs in midfield?
