Fucking typical when he's in my fantasy team. Couldn't have happened to Benteke or some other fucker.

No, because he's a disrespectful cunt.

I'm pleased in some ways, well most ways, but a bit disappointed with the overall quality of the signings. In particular, I'd have a bit of a statement signing to add to the obvious quality of Ritchie and Gayle. That said, I'm delighted to be rid of the very obvious mercenaries and it's quite clear to see that Rafa has gone for character as a priority and he's clearly building a squad he feels is capable to working together, over a long tough season, to achieve the club's aim of instant return. I hate to think of how this summer would have gone if we hadn't managed to convince Rafa to stay and I'm absolutely delighted he has stayed to oversee phase 1 of the rebuild. On that basis, he's made a fairly emphatic start.

Is Kone staying there now?

I have a hunch that he might go to West Ham.

Today was a huge win. Frankly, delighted to take three points off them as I would have been happy with a point pre-game given the lack of forwards. In particular, it was important with Villa and Norwich both dropping points. Referee was a joke and the standard of officiating at this level has been woeful to date.

Really good game today .

It's hardly a comparison to Beardsley, Shearer or Gazza like.

Another one that's better than Sissoko. Seems to have some degree of intelligence unlike the moose.

Ritchie is miles better than this bloke. Nice to have some intelligence out wide. Been badly missing whilst this fucknugget has been knocking people over and bolloxing up his final ball.

Are we likely to lose him to the ACoN in January?

:lol:

Brilliant. Another, albeit weaker, option: Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want, So tell me what you want, what you really really want, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I really, really really wanna Achraf Lazaar.

Same, seems stupid to just let our best keeper walk out. And also to throw the new fella into the fold with only Darlow as a plan B at this moment in time.

Ah fair enough .

Would have preferred him to stay and give Sels the cup games.

There's four people on this page alone who are 'happy' .

Got them to hand? Nope. But we've won all 3 matches he didn't play in this season, and were unbeaten while he was out injured at the tail end of last season. All off the top of my head. The only positive result he contributed to was Spurs on the final day. I know it was a nothing game but he was excellent in that game on the last day.

I'm quite surprised at the majority being happy with this. I didn't mind him at all and felt at times he was a good fullback. Certainly, he's not top drawer, as this move testifies but overall I've got more positivity than negativity when I look back at his time here. He's certainly not failed imho. Also, he acted with some degree of professionalism/integrity when he's clearly planned to leave since the relegation was confirmed. I'm really surprised at the fee. In this crazy market, I'd have expected us to get £12m minimum tbqh.

Something of a bogey team these. Don't fancy us at all. Going 0-2.

No.

I don't get it... Really? Wasn't the best sentence to be fair.

This is so true - didn't he mention his 'experience' with difficult players when he signed the fucker too? Wasn't HBA mentioned? He said if he could deal with Ben Arfa then he could deal with Adebayor. And he kept to his word there - he dealt with both players by not giving them games. I thought he'd mentioned HBA at the time Fucking heinous swine.
