Hasn't he just moved to China? Don't know if this is a good signing for them or not.

Got to say we have to have faith in Rafa but I am left a little bit puzzled by some of the signings and some of the players he has/is shipping out. Prime example is Krul who is a far superior keeper than Sels and yet we appear to be loaning Krul out and paying over 4 million for Sels - just doesn't make sense. This. Unless Krul has said he doesn't want another year in the Championship and that he's looking to go?

Just got back from the game. Agree with midds entirely. We looked ok once the second goal went in, but typically nervous beforehand. We look scared to lose sometimes. I can't fathom why Rafa is so blind to Colback's deficiencies. An appalling footballer. Lost possession countless times and, when one would think he would have a bit of courage to take the game on given the opposition, simply passed the ball backwards and sideways. So frustrating.

Aye.

This squad is nowhere near deep enough in terms of quality yet, man.

We're piss weak in the middle here. Really need some steel and calmness. Jedinak would have been an excellent signing.

Its brilliant.

No love lost. Won't miss him.

Sorry, like, but I don't get these pointless loans we seem to be so keen on atm. Can we afford to lose the bodies? Can't understand why they've let Mbabu go. Surely he's better off with us?

Disappointed if this is it. We've got rivals being linked with, and signing, decent Premiership midfielders and we're bringing in a Championship plodder to boost numbers and seemingly getting rid of players like De Jong who could've made an impact down here.

What an utter fucking gobshite. As bad as the porn barons at Wham.

Still though...nice to see the sentiment is there. Compare that to Sissoko, or indeed some of the other mercenary cunts wearing the shirt in recent years.

Would be surprised if he came back tbh.

Would dearly love this to happen again.

Hopefully. There's also no way Balotelli is going to be arsed in the Championship either. Think he'd be a shite signing.

I reckon we'll let him go on loan, play a bit, boost his asking price, then get rid. Can't see him coming back at all. If Rafa's concerned about the lack of physicality, I wonder what he's telling Perez in training?

Shit for brains didn't disappoint today. Still can't tackle properly, still with hands over other players, and still giving away needless free kicks in dangerous areas.

Quite similar to Gayle imo.

Quack quack. Very good

Hurry the fuck up and buy someone. Make a ducking statement.

Fancy playing Milner left back, man.

We should be keeping Krul.

Aye. At least. There's not a chance we'll get them in the time remaining though.

Having watched some of that Chelsea game, I must say I'm still none the wiser as to what Oscar actually does.
