Why is Gouffran suddenly a credible option from the bench?

A fair few transfer window buzzwords ticked off the list in that article.

Give Spaniards Colback's wages.

Guess we'll just have to sell a different CM instead...

Obvious wum is obvious.

Aye, that one against Norwich was a terrible attempt.

Only £3m too apparently. Can't believe we're not going for him at that price. Turned down Villa and West Ham because of Everton's reputation with young players. Don't think he'd have been that impressed with our record. There is that but you'd imagine he'd have had more chance of getting a game with us.

Nah, call ujpest doza whatever you like.

Curtain. Anyway, here's said curtain just a few days ago... http://i63.tinypic.com/rjeerq.jpg

Plays central midfield, isn't ginger and isn't called Jack Colback so he's going to be fucking brilliant.

Colback could only dream of ever being as good as Alan Smith (the Leeds version).

Well, it would, because we'd still be playing with 10 men.

Wouldnt be against Byram or that Wolves FB mind. Havent seen any Championship games to know a decent Cb but cant think of many strikers(Austin aside) who would be worth a go regularly from the off Byram's a no-brainer, should be all over him before someone else snaps him up.

I hope Shelvey turns out ok but I have serious question marks over some of his attributes and it's attributes that won't go down very well up here. Covered a lot of Sampdoria games and he's stood out for me every game, even more so than Eder. Great engine on him getting box-to-box, breaks up play, strong, quick, good passer of the ball. Equally adept at both ends of the pitch. Also has a good delivery on him too which is something else we're crying out for.

If we're spending £12m on a CM I'd rather it not be on Shelvey. Could have got Fernando from Sampdoria for around that and he's miles better.

It'll placate some of the morons with season tickets too.

Leave him alone, he's a football writer, producer and scout according to his website.

Bloke is bottleless.

Fucking Pardew. Utter cunt.

Halfway through the season and still persisting with four CMs in midfield. Amazing.

Arsenal and Man City.

Aye cos he was a complete disaster last time he was in charge. That was 6 years ago and he he's had 3 failed management stints since though. Basically agree with what Sima said. Likeable bloke who will have the fans onside straight away. Apparently got on really well with Terry too which should help.

Hahaha, fuck off Mourinho.
