Not sure whether to go for a good squad, or just pick a great XI with a cheap, weak bench.

£2m is a very small purchase price. We won't see him back here.

Are they wanting Kolodziejczak to be first choice LB? He couldnt play last night, but he's meant to be pretty good.

I'm excited at our subs bench. Bearing in mind there were times last season when we had Ranger, Donaldson, Richardson, Soderberg and Ferguson - Saturday can give a bench with 7 from Ba, Best, Vuckic, Gosling, Marveaux, Ferguson, Williamson, R Taylor and Harper. Leaving Lovenkrands, Smith, Guthrie, Perch and Ranger out of sight

Sunderland are the attention seeking kid that stands waving their arms around going "look at me! look at me! oy, over here. look at meeee", but nobody does. We only care about them because of geography, otherwise they're a nothing club that have made no impact on the Premier League. Was watching something on ESPN last night about Shearer and they talked about The Entertainers, spending world record fees etc.......they'll never even get close to that.

Hazard, Cabaye, Gervinho AND Rami in the same summer? Oooh, tough break....

And then we'll get Erdinc, thank you....

The Leeds game did the damage, which is a shame. But Harper could still hang around for 3-4 years (he'll hardly be knackered considering he spent years and years on the bench) so something had to give. The sensible option would involve a buy-back clause.

We're gonna mess this up because of the perfectly reasonable fee, aren't we?

Scored a pretty good 56. Rooney in for Van Persie Reo-Coker in for Ben Arfa Mignolet in for Westwood ....are subs I'm happy with. But unsure whether to do Silva for Downing, when ideally I'd have both.

Just catching up on the last few pages and can't believe you think your midfield is better than ours. I guess we'll see on Saturday, but I reckon thats the one area where we're definitely better. Difference of opinion.

A big indication would be tonight's team news. Then I'll start dreaming. Our biggest obstacle will be stopping a better club getting him, but not for one moment did I consider that we'd replace Enrique with a better player.

I just can't believe he wants to join us and thats he's slapped in a transfer request to get this. Is he mad?

Baba, what do you think of the price?

Joey7Barton Joseph Barton If they sign Nasri and Sneijder. This could be like cheating on Football Manager...............ha he's one of us

Fucking hell

don't think you'll be alone there

suppose weed do OK to sign him.

Well this is very impressive

Yay, another word-play chain......

Ali Dia? Not falling for that one....

Neville is alright here, although would prefer Souness to have the Andy Gray role. Think out of the promoted teams, Swansea have the best chance to stay up.

Great news with the unlimited transfers, got a few dilemmas though: Stick with Fletcher or go Pavlyuchenko/K Davies? Stick with Van Persie or go Rooney/Suarez? Not too sure on Ramsey being there but would feel dirty putting Sessegnon in.

After a couple more league games, Erdinc will finally see the reality. He'll barely play there.
