Teasy

Some of the Stoke fans saying they'd prefer to sell us Berahino and keep Joselu

Total of 12 games, stoke fans seem to think he's good and deserved much more from Hughes. I've been far less excited for signings then this like, I mean think about some of the shit we've signed in the past.

Also as the stoke fan mentioned he barely got any time on the pitch for Stoke. His entire game time there totals about twelve games.

Well whatever you think of Caballero, Benitez wanted him which means we should have done our absolute best to get him.

I've borrowed a season ticket for this. Thing is its a senior ticket, I doubt it'll be a issue but has anyone had a problem with that before? (getting stopped for having a ticket they don't qualify for). Also how the hell do you work these new season ticket cards? Do you just push any part of it into a slot or something?

Think some of you would be proven very wrong if he could stay fit, he won't though (prove me wrong Siem!). Yes he's slow, but he looks to have excellent awareness and good technique.

Ok prices in general have been insane, but I don't see where the issue is with paying 15 million Euro's for Lucas Perez, that's not insane money IMO.

Still no idea if its being streamed?

Well he played for us yesterday so I hope he is, or we've likely broken a rule on playing the undead.

Aye so did Shearer. Before anyone has a go at me for comparing Mitrovic to Shearer its not worse than comparing him to Alan Smith. Simple fact is last season we played better as a team every time Mitrovic was in the side. Gayle is undoubtedly a goal scorer, but we dominated games with Mitrovic up front. He's another option and he does change the game when he comes on. How people can't see that I've got no idea.

Qatar Sports Investment, which owns PSG, pays Neymar €300m to be ambassador for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This allows him to buy himself out of his contract with Barca and sign for PSG, who then bypass the FFP-rules as they have absolutely nothing to do with the €300m . If that occurred the governing bodies could investigate it, easily see its a attempt to bypass the rules and act accordingly. But if they just let people use work arounds like that then of course FFP won't work.

From what i've seen of him and Ojo, which admittedly isn't a massive amount, i'd take Roberts out of the two every time. Same. Ojo will never make it. And Teasy, you think Gayle will hit 20 goals next season? Like Aguero and Costa last season? No, did I say that?, read again..

Comfortably mid table??.....i very much doubt it, as it is i think we are certs for the drop....lose Gayle and we won't score goals and even Gayle will do well if he hits 10+ desperately need another striker and number 10 to chip in with goals I'll be very shocked if a fit Gayle hasn't scored near 10 by Christmas Prepare to be shocked We are a much more united team this time round despite lack of quality in areas, however we will comfortably be in a relegation battle if we don't bring more players in. I actually think Gayle, Ritchie and Shelvey will have a good season but if any are injured we lack good enough replacements and are severely short in centre mid and up front. I reckon Gayle will get 10-12 over the season, he will struggle to get that by Jan, so we need goals from elsewhere as well Gayle definitely has the quality to get 15-20 in the Premier League IMO, just depends on how much support he gets from his team mates.

The market also seems to have gone up far more than the increase in TV money.

I already said Townsend. Sissoko and Janmaat were absolute donkey shit that season. Wijnaldum scored goals, but was a dead weight away from home. Look at the players we've gained since then vs the ones you just mentioned. Reputations aside I'd prefer the likes of Ritchie and Gayle. Still there's absolutely no excuse for not improving the squad further.

Said that the last time we got relegated and this squad is nowhere near as good as that one Really? Which players from that squad would improve us now? Not just considering perceived quality at that time by the way, but how they were performing. I'll give you Townsend (though we now have Ritchie and Murphy), but who else is missing that makes this squad nowhere near as good?

I wish..

Last season in the Championship?, have we fuck.

This fucker is going to be absolutely class!

Three year deal?

i like the swiss army knife analogy Rafa's new Dirk Kuyt?

Well I mean 10 goals in 36 games last season looks ok. But better when you see it was 1765 minutes total (so basically just under 20 full matches).

Not a chance we'll get anywhere near £6m for Hanley.

Ask for £4m, cheating cunts can pay through the nose or fuck off

Makes me wonder if our relegation season might just have been a bad dream when I read comments like this. Yes he's got a lot of quality, for the right side in the right role he's very good. But I'm in no hurry to bring back a lad that I was desperate to see dropped at times in our relegation season. He was fucking awful for big portions of that season, including the time Rafa managed us in the Premier League.
