Shelvey and Diame won't have the legs to go again and I'm just really tired of Hayden lately so I'd rather see him.

Quite proud after watching that, something stirred towards the end.

Get in.

This is literally the best craic the football board has seen for years.

I'm enjoying this lads. Let's see if we can get him up to £100m before the season is out. I'm adding £3m a day as it stands.

Think a £7m hit after 18 months shite performances would be reasonable, he's seemingly getting less athletic by the week too.

Weak foot, massive pressure, loads of movement ahead of him. No problem.

BOOM

If we hadn't wasted £24m on Diame we wouldn't have to be making deals like this. However, it's clear Rafa wants him so let's see what he's got.

Don’t usually get riled up by morons in the media these days, but fuck me what a daft cunt.

I'd prefer loans to more permanent deals like £21m for Diame, to be honest.

Getting David Luiz on loan would be a significantly better deal than when we spent £18m on Diame like. I'd be all for it.

As bad as the second half against Everton was there have been overall signs that we’re improving in the fundamentals, largely due to Lascelles being back. We’ve got the lesser of two evils back in goal and in general the line-up is beginning to settle down. I’d still like to see Dummett back to solidify us a little bit more, but otherwise there’s nothing I’m crying out for given the options available. Maybe less Perez and Diame...

We’ll win this.

Have we ever spent a worse £12m than Diame? Keen to find out people's thoughts.

You’re 7th tho.

Spot on. He'll no doubt think promotion is very easy as well, based on the last two times. I don’t think he’s got the stomach for another relegation, personally. He was squirming when he spoke about it with his mate on Sky.

Puel has seen the majesty up close though. He knows.

You can’t see posts.

It's a lack of belief as much as anything, the lack of communication on the pitch is extremely frustrating to watch and it's very noticeable inside the ground. Nobody wants to know, so it's brilliant that he's back.
