As some people have already mentioned, the fact that he's able to cover DM and RB/LB can only be a good thing. An improvement on Raylor, if you will. The £8 million fee is a bit too steep though. Wait and see on this one methinks, this rumour won't be going away any time soon.

He bought in Zamblera or whatever he is called as well didn't he, apparently on very big wages for a kid too. Had great finishing stats on FM09. Always signed him on loan whenever I was managing a Football League club.

Tbf, it was down to injury reasons. Bellamy couldn't really play week in, week out due to his troublesome knee.

How old is that poll^ btw?

My first away strip, loved it

where's the 5miilion tag came from ? i'd wrap him up and take him there myself even if we didn't have a replacement lined up. he's not as bad as many make out but 5million is at least 2million too much. It's a rumoured fee from Twitter (so mostly likely bollocks).

Got to say, if we do get offered £5 million, then that is a more than a decent price. Would be disappointed to see him leave but ultimately if we want to move forward/progress then Simpson shouldn't be the first choice RB. Best of luck to him if he does move, I reckon he'll be a decent signing for Reading.

Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Hazard follow him... maybe its genuine? It's actually "Debuchy" following them. I'm saying fake until proven otherwise.

Just need to see Cabaye wearing it really.

Is it one of those things that's only available to Sky customers or will it be free on all platforms?

Win 5-0. Williamson with all 5 goals. Seriously though, this should be a decent warmup, will all our players be back for this?

Any updates on this? Saw this while I was on my lunch break at work yesterday but then my phone battery died on me. Needless to say, I got excited when I saw the thread title!

I've been convinced for a while that he's staying. Can see no reason why he would leave, footballing reasons-wise.

Ah, so it is the spikes on the stripes kit. Meh. Really looks terrible imho but this kit could end up being well liked - it all depends on how we do next season I guess.

Sooo, how did we play?

Very unlikely.

Ah, just remembered I'm going to miss this. Going on a post-work drinks session tomorrow. Will look to this thread for updates!

But a step up from Simpson in that Clyne actually likes having the ball and running with it.

Nowt wrong with what Pardew's said there like. A minimum of 8th would be okay but I do actually want us to challenge for the top 6/7 - I certainly hope we're amongst it for most of the season.

Unfortunately. But on the plus side, N-O could take it over like last year Oh and to quote a former poster, "one more sleep"

For some reason, I can see Park Ji Sung getting it...(purely for commercial reasons).

So Pardew says we'll have to wait two weeks before we'll see another a new signing? Blatantly going to sign someone completely out of the blue tomorrow like.

Tbh, anything but SD will do...

s*** just got real. Btw, there's nee chance Cabaye's going to Barça, they have enough CMs.
