SUPERTOON

6-7kg? f***ing hell He did the exact same over the summer last season for Swansea, came back and started well, then obviously ended up joining us and generally being rubbish and losing his place. I think Rafa would prefer to sell if we got a decent offer, and I would be inclined to agree, has been really poor for us.

They have been linked with De Boer, and some of their fans seem to think Pellegrini is in the frame. Supposedly they have approached Moyes twice before, and they are also wanting to go back for Sean Dyche.

He is quite similar to Gayle no? I have not watched them enough to judge that, but is the type of player we should chase? I feel the money is better invested on other positions. I rate him higher than Gayle, he certainly has all the attributes to be a top premier league striker. Rafa seemingly wants to replace Cisse as well, he would certainly fit the bill.

Berahino has turned down a new deal at WBA, out of contract next summer, anyone reckon he would drop down a division to sign for us? Think he would be great in the championship especially under Rafa.

Looks like he will be here next season then, because no club will come close to bidding that much for him.

It's in The Sun.. https://mobile.twitter.com/BlackWhiteBarmy/status/752069379349708800

Spurs the front runners to sign Gotze according to the German media.

Assuming these deals for Hanley and Hayden go through, were else to people think we will be looking. I would consider us finished, just replacements for Sissoko and Gini, and anyone else who may leave.

Mark Douglas says they want at least £6 million. Rather we went elsewhere tbh.

Blackburn fans in Twitter said he was their POTY last season. Calling him a solid defender but not good on the ball.

Think he's a right back?

Media suggesting Palace about to sign Tomkins for 12.5 million, and have agreed personal terms with Benteke and have bid 25 million and are close to agreeing that deal.

According to Mark Douglas we want a LB, RB, and two CB, one of the CB we want has to have championship experience but with the quality to be able to play in the premier league should we be promoted.

Be interesting to see how he does, I always felt he was only performing for us because he wanted to be in the England squad. Think we kind of overrated him as well because of the rubbish and lack of effort before him. Would have been great in the championship, but still think he is an average premier league player.

The Matt Ritchie deal is a strange one if its true. He would be a great addition, but he was a regular for Bournemouth last season, and they rejected a big bid from West Ham a few weeks back. Him signing for us makes no sense.

Krul surely leaving then.

Tells you everything you need to know about the FA, and why we've failed for the past 2 decades. Who would you go for? I pretty much can't think of a suitable candidate that would be prepared to take the job. What a mess. Think it would be perfect for Wenger, although he would never take it.

Anyone got sky sports news on? They actually have McClaren talking about how England should play and what they should do. The smirk is back as well.

Southgate favourite and Pardew second favourite.

Will be a positive change having most if not all the main signings in before pre season. Not like last year with the joke of the USA tour where only Gini was there.

£58.9 million for Aubameyang.

Koeman on the verge of taking over at Everton, him and his agent on the way there for talks.

Didn't Ashley say there is no money left to spend, just after we appointed Benitez? Pretty sure I remember him saying it in that interview where they were on about him going before the MPs.

This relegation keeps getting better.

Sissoko by an absolute mile. Half hearted, and constantly talks about going to bigger clubs.
