Shak

My heart has aids after that.

God the left side of our team is absolute genocide. Really need Atsu back to get Gouffran out of there. I'd love to see Perez get a go out there, only place in Rafa's system that he ever has a chance of succeeding IMO.

Anyone actually reckon Ashley will back down and give Rafa the backing he needs in the summer? Will he fuck. This is all just a matter of time. Was always too good to be true, I guess.

An absolutely worthless pile of shite.

Wait, this is on TV? Why on earth is this on TV?

2m more that stays safely trousered. Result.

Be hilarious if he scored one of the greatest goals of all time right at the end of the game.

I'll be very surprised if he's here beyond the summer of 2018. Assuming we go up Ashley will eventually start acting the rotten cunt once he feels we're looking solidly established in the Premiership. He might give Rafa enough this coming summer to keep him but eventually it'll all go tits up.

Well this is shit.

Lots of things that can complicate these deals. One team wants a loan, other team want permanent deal. Team doesn't want to sell until they have a replacement in. Or just haggling over the price...

Why? Because of the next sentence, basically. Maybe he'll come in and feature a lot but it sounds like he's an erratic type that needs a bit of refinement so I doubt Rafa will throw him in the team any time soon.

Seems odd if it's a loan deal. My guess is he'll hardly feature.

The stories seem to think it's 10m for Coric and 25m for Benkovic... The idea that we'd spend 25m on a defender. Would be nice to see us bring in some top young talent though.

Just have this plaque installed inside his locker IMO http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/509/312/a1e.png

Be amazing if Townsend would only agree to a loan. Could dump him in the summer once we go up then.

That was class. The weight of Sanchez's balls. Was a stonewall penalty like, he fucking kicked him in the face. Offside though of course.

Honestly can't figure out if Colback for Tiote is an improvement.

Member when we thought 20m wasn't enough for Tiote?

Would love to get him on loan and send him back once we go up.

I agree with HTT but also think he'd be a good signing. I mean, he'd clearly improve us so you have to vote 'Yes'... but there's also definitely something very funny about him spending years struggling to find a club where he fits in, becoming a huge fan favourite here and then immediately pushing for a move that's ruined his career again. If there's nobody else we can get then yeah, I'd have him back. If possible though I'd rather get someone else and watch his career keep swirling in the toilet. Sometimes it's nice to see people punished for making stupid choices.

Aye but Anita's gotten significantly more game time and seems to be first choice. An extended run for Yedlin gives him a chance to make the spot his own.

We'll have dodged a bullet if he's only out a couple of weeks. Disappointing for Anita but a chance for Yedlin to really make the RB spot his own over the coming months. Hopefully he takes it.

Deuce

...though each window contains a different story. We pan past to find Jacey Lakems, 28...hot, but doesn't know it. I'll never stop finding that hilarious. Blane: Maybe I don't need a new friend. Jacey: Maybe you're the only friend I need. Blane: Need, or want? Jacey: I've never been much for wanting. Blane: Spoken like someone with needs.
