Ketsbaia

A low first bid makes sense. Problem is, we know it's not rising :lol:

I thought Colback hadn't made the squad. They're not all in the squad, but we have Hayden, Shelvey, Longstaff 1, Longstaff 2, Ki, Colback, Saivet and Bentaleb for just 2 spots. So much deadwood at this club.

Already got loads of CMs so that's surely Ki off to Celtic, or we've agreed to melt Colback.

Not fancy permanently signing players?

Same. Has he even noticed he's on screen?

Safe for this season but it's just delaying it for one more year, when the luck finally runs out.

Exactly. Guardiola can't be trusted, as with Mahrez today.

Bruce, when asked about Lazaro: "It would be unfair to comment on individuals." So this one could be a goer.

Samatta to Villa is annoying because he's much better than the Slimani and Benteke options.

I like Sarr and Doucoure but I guess it'd have to be a striker. Not sure which of those would help though.

Inter have a history of mental swap deals too, exchanging Pirlo, Seedorf, Roberto Carlos and Cannavaro for Guly, Coco, Zamorano and Carini over the years. Can't believe they got Eto'o and money for Zlatan though, that was unbelievable.

Thought the same. Inter always seem to have this weird pull to players.

Glad it's not West Ham. They need to stay in their place and stop aiming high.

That'll do it

Some annoy me but then I remember that some bloke commentators annoy me too, so in that respect they're fine.

Rashford, Ings and Lundstram did well and a few popular players blanked..... yet basically no change in the live rankings. Odd.

Oh promotion is very likely now. If that's all it takes to into the top six, the rest of the division must be a shambles.

It's a sick world when West Ham can realistically sign Gedson Fernandes.

Still don't get the Zaha hype, personally. Bayern should be nowhere near him.

He'll soon be Ademola Ameobi.

Lookman is far better than the expected standard, so let's file this under 'Probably Not'.

Giroud and Carroll? May as well get Crouch in there too and form a row of street lamps.

Bayern announce free transfer signing of Schalke goalkeeper Nubel. Of course.

They've been out of crisis for one week and already on the verge of the play-offs. Such a shite league, I knew this would happen.

We'll freefall from here and narrowly stay up, keeping Bruce here for a miserable Derby-style relegation next season. And Ashley will point at Joelinton as a reason why spending money isn't always the answer
