Nowt will kill us off as long as Benitez is here, we'll always have a chance.

I've no doubt Ashley would sell, but only for a very substantial fee. No such fee is being reported which leads me to believe this is bull.

Lol as if we will sign a replacement A signing more essential to keeping us up wouldn't be a replacement for Merino, it would be a striker. Not that I advocate selling Merino to get a striker, we shouldn't need to do that at all if not for the fat piece of shit running the club.

I'd assume the final straw would mean you'd stop supporting/watching. So obviously nobody here has reached the final straw yet.

Unless I'm missing something that article has nowt in it, not even a mention of what they'd offer for him. Also they seem to be talking as if he's fallen out of favour and won't play, I don't believe for a minute that Benitez isn't going to play him.

Yeah no chance that backfires immediately at all How could it backfire? We'd miss seeing Gayle be shit for a few games? You could guarantee Sturridge would immediately get injured and Jorgenson would be crap. Vs Gayle being turbo shit.

Gayle is the one who fucking ducked it..

Aye, I mean we must have created 7 or 8 really good chances against Swansea and only managed to score once. With decent finishing we should have won that so comfortably.

Did someone report the amount of the new bid like?

Erm, but it's not breaking your record if you sign three players? Aye pretty crazy logic like, especially since that wouldn't even be a record spend on three players in one window, not even under Ashley, not even close.

"Ashley doesn't give a shit what we think", "Ashley puts in fake bids to con us", one of the great contradictions of our time

We are in the mix, getting asked for 25m Euro's for a half decent Danish lad..

Which is why they should be doing a bit more than spending £19m (their record transfer?) on a lad who's scored 16 goals in 55 games in the French league.. That's pretty abysmal. Mind you, considering his name, maybe we could loan him from Southampton for a week and he could whack Ashley for us?

Main difference is he looks a confident finisher, Mitrovic doesn't. He looks a bit quicker as well and not as much of a loon, both physically similar.

A striker unproven in this league who's scoring lots of goals where he is now and is wanted by Rafa (so will play) is a big improvement over a lad who doesn't get a game and never will. If we can sell Mitrovic for £15m and bring the other lad in for the same amount then great. Should leave some cash for other areas.

Gayle had 4 good chances against Swansea a couple of them sitters, other players had good chances as well. If we'd had a striker who could finish chances that game we'd have at least 2 more points right now. Not the first time its happened this season either, where we've created chances and they've all been missed. We do struggle to create in some games, against the top sides, but its the teams around us that we need to beat most and we've shown we can create against them.

Could be a worry in some games. But then if we had a striker who could finish chances on the pitch against Swansea we'd have two more points right now. Same goes for a few other games this season where we created plenty and saw our strikers waste them.

Whichever one Rafa wants to play is better (since the other is hardly going to score from the bench..).

I mean you'd rather go for proven shite (Deeney) or mr living dead (Ings) than someone who is unproven in this league but at least scores goals where he is? This lad isn't the most exciting, but fuck me Ings and Deeney would have me slitting my wrists.

Why would Bournemouth sell Wilson to us though?, given the fact they're fucked at the moment and one of the hopes they have for turning it around is getting Wilson back.

Nah not having it that Shelvey isn't really good at passing like, he absolutely is, easily the best we have. He's just got some really glaring weaknesses in other parts of his game that make me want to see him replaced.

Have you watched them? The first minute of the first video (goals and skills) show him have the ball kick into his shins as a defender or running into trouble as an attacker. Maybe I need to go 4 minutes in to find the shots and crosses? You on about KENEDY | Chelsea | - Brazilian Youngster |Skills & Goals| 2016 aye? It takes 50 seconds for the video start showing any highlights And after that, it's about him not really doing much. I'm being negative, I realise this, just don't understand the fascination with that skill against Norwich. Did you watch the whole Norwich game?, he actually played very well, not just one piece of skill. The video shows quite a bit, both good and bad, its cut up into sections to show him defensively, creatively, dribbling, missed chances and then finally goals. Shows plenty of good interceptions and tackles at the start, some crosses and through balls that create chances and goals, then dribbling (again both good and bad) and has a minute or so at the end which shows 7 or 8 goals. Not your typical show reel though, seems a bit more realistic in that its not just trying to show him at his absolute best.

The first 50 seconds don't even show any Football Took about 2 minutes into actual highlights to see quite a few good tackles, interceptions and a few through balls and crosses that set up chances/goals. Obviously its just a highlight reel so nowt to be fixated on, but its nowt like you're describing it, unless you're seeing some other video at the top.
