He's not like Flatters to deceive the majority of the time, has never kicked on from his early promise. Struggles for consistency and has a questionable attitude. No thanks.

Tom Ince is shite.

Lazio were apparently needing rid of Candreva before bringing in Thauvin...

Was wondering which sap would try and sign Hal Robson-Kanu on the back of one good goal...

A cursory glance at the FA website would also prove that the FA is run by old men. One of the three people selecting the new manager openly admits he isn't a 'football expert' ffs.

No he isn't, it's just round-up of what's in today's papers.

Probably been mentioned but one of Jonas' celebration against West Ham would go down very well.

Have either club officially confirmed it yet? It sounds like it's done but I haven't seen anything official.

Aye, could sort that.

Not done this for a while but with the amount of ins and outs we're looking at this summer, might as well get it on the go again.

Some people develop at different ages, mad I know. And 21 certainly is young, especially when you look at the amount of games he's played.

Aye, bookies won't be counting assists to determine an outright winner unless stated beforehand.

Hope this doesn't mean we're not getting Jonny Castro.

Just YouTubed him. First video was him cynically fouling Neymar and then headbutting him.

Jesus.

This guy.

He's just an attention seeking gobshite. Don't know why anyone gives him the time of day.

All three are comfortably worth over £10m.

Just seen Neesy on the news lobbing a chair at some Russians.

That last point then could also refer to NUFC.

What has Internet growth got to do with that bloke's question about employing staff themselves?

"That's not fair, it's not fair." Don't cry, dickhead.

"If I dropped dead tomorrow..." We're not that lucky.

The diving and swanning around might be a good fit for Arsenal, but he can only ever run in straight lines and shoot, and Arsenal aren't exactly the most direct team. They might be if they had a striker who could run They've played Walcott up top and not a thing changed. Bit of a difference between Walcott and Vardy, like. Its the same when Welbeck plays up top. Point im making is that its all well and good bringing in players with pace and pressurising defenders but Arsenal's attacking play isn't really based around that style imo. I may be proven wrong and Wenger may change his ways but its not a great deal from either side for me. Vardy is more than just pace. His movement is going to allow the three behind him more space to play in and give other teams more to think about. Ozil ended up with what, 19 assists last season was it? Imagine how many he could end up with now he has someone with that movement in front of him. If the ball doesn't go to Vardy it's because he'll have made a run in behind occupying a defender or two, leaving either of the wide players space to play in. Having an out ball may see Arsenal play some longer stuff occasionally too but it certainly allows them to up their tempo as well.
