Riviere showing he's a good athlete but needs to calm down in the final third.

Gouffran off for Aarons, please.

Indeed. s*** scared to play an attacking full back. He can't attack for s***, man. Well, that's just not true at all.

How in the fuck has he missed that?

Indeed. Shit scared to play an attacking full back.

I think it'll just be the same as last week.

He really is getting worse.

Lamela has looked a bit better, seems to understand the league's intensity a little more.

Missed

Is Clattenburg wearing makeup?

Krul Janmaat Willo Colo Haidara Anita Sissoko Colback Cabella Riviere Gouffran I think he might go like this.

It's a shame that he's been ostracised now. I reckon he'd be a good fit for the newer players who seem a little bit smarter in terms of their movement. Not that he'd necessarily pass to them, just because he'd have more space to do his thing.

Has to be a midfield 3 against City.

They'd have been better off getting that daft folk singer.

Saw Riviere filling up at Broadway petrol station, yesterday. He looked confused.

I'm never usually that fussed over football tops but that is an abomination, even on the players.

Cabella should have been 14. As if that number's gone from Remy to Colback

Sounds like that'd complement de Jong, to be honest.

I think out of the 4 senior strikers we have, Gouffran and Riviere are the most likely to get 10+ goals. The ceiling for those two is probably 12, if they played 30+ games. Cisse has the potential to get more than any of them but our set up is the antithesis of what he needs.

I think Riviere will do well here. Good athlete, by the looks of it, who will benefit from the more open nature of Premier League games.

Rodwell's a talented player and would be decent business but he's not someone I'd want if I'm most likely going to be battling relegation.

I've got high hopes for him as he seems to be able to actually strike a ball well, as well as having some skill, athleticism and good technique. Sammy's a good dribbler and has pace but his delivery is often totally crap, his general ball-striking is poor and that's always going to hold him back. I'd be careful with this lad. My preference would still be to send him out on loan to a Championship side but wouldn't be averse to doing what Liverpool did with Sterling, initially using him as a super-sub and easing him in to the first team, if he makes an impact.

At least it's a statement of positivity. I fully expect it to have been completely contradicted before September 1st, though.

So we've signed Argentine Cisse? Brilliant. He sounds nothing like Cisse, 'fragility' aside.
