Would welcome both with open arms. Xhaka is a canny player too, but we're stacked with attacking midfielders. Arsenal should probably sign him.

That said, every team in the league is going to win games this season - especially at home. QPR, Swansea, Norwich...all will win games.

Just as we might have pushed Smith off the bench...he bounces back.

Forest? Get in, great news.

Even with their additions they're still a weaker side than Fulham and Sunderland, who we got results against. Absolutely nothing to fear here, play our best possible side and have a go at them. Hopefully we can start to build on our solid defence with some more coherent attacking play.

Went to the same school as him. Good keeper like, played at youth levels for England. Nice to see us sending more players out on loan.

Ibra is one of the most technically gifted players on the planet. The problem was Ibra's playing style contrasting with Barca's tactics rather than his lack of technique. Didn't phrase my post very well. I think Bendtner is technically inferior than some of Arsenal's other players, whereas Ibrahimovic - who is technically superb, as you say - seemed to be getting in the way of things and slowing things down. Both were made to look not particularly good in their respective sides is the crux of my point. Zlatan does well when he's entrusted to do everything in attack, basically. Taking backstage to Messi (and the others, really) was a struggle. Looks more at home in Serie A playing a slower game where he gets time on the ball to be the sole creative force. He did look a misfit at Barca, but that said, I sort of wish he'd got a bit longer to make an attempt at adapting. Villa is a better natural fit but looked similarly out of place for longer periods last season, but he stayed fit (whereas Ibra got injured just as he was picking up pace), scored crucial goals and was happy to take a backseat to Messi - which has spared him criticism for the difficult spells that he had.

This mackem has promise btw, hopefully he wont go to the rails like drearyside.

I am properly jelly. It's over between me a Nicklas. It could have been so special. You've ruined it now, Nicky.

Class that Deal or No Deal is the biggest pile of shite on television, like.

So fucking ugly. Thankfully I'm not reminded how ugly it is sitting in the Gallowgate. Guess I wont be spared for much longer though. Urgh.

Very nice IMO. Vibrant and colourful.

Ba?

FFS.

Guthrie and trialist like two new signings.

Just tell me what i've done wrong... But in fact, if you all think Sammy Ameobi is like Messi i understand your reactions. No, we just joke when we say that. Messi is nowhere near as good.

Negredo's second was a delicious goal.

I don't think I've expressed yet just how sad it makes me that he is a Sunderland player.

Shaqiri scored a hattrick for Switzerland. Gonna be some player.
