Phil Thompson knew absolutely fuck all, man.

Fuck's sake. Can't believe this is affecting opening weekend. Fucking twats.

Frees up another squad place. We have 2 now available as it stands, 3 when Enrique goes.

He definitely doesn't.

I can't for the life of me understand why Wenger hasn't signed him.

Head screwed on or batshit mental? Can't decide.

That was what I'd like to see rather than what it will be.

Think it was more of a throw-away comment. Pardew seems reasonably clued up on continental football.

He can play either full-back position. Would be a fantastic signing in that sense.

Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Pieters Tioté Cabaye Barton Jonas Ba Best Marveaux and Obertan to play a part from the bench.

We'll have no chance without him tbf. Gervinho vs Raylor or Perch... Exactly, that was my point. Absolutely imperative.

Also Inter have an unrivalled record of fucking off young Italian products only for them to come good elsewhere.

Not that unrealistic tbh. He's not really came on recently, been essentially replaced by Nagatomo and was out on loan at Cesena last season.

We have a real chance if Pieters is here by Saturday.

Are they? To me they seem to have spent fortunes since they came up.

It's gonna be such a pisstake when he gets into the next Spain squad.

He's 40 in December, for fuck's sake.

I was referring to Coyle saying Barton's best position is central midfield. It's not. Although he probably would get in ahead of some of that crap, tbf.

You've been listening to Owen Coyle too much.

I found out the other day that Frank Sinclair is still playing. Couldn't believe it.

Only one there mate.

That interview relays what I've heard about him. The guy that sold him his house was saying he was amazed by how genuine and down to earth he seemed. Apparently had no airs or graces whatsoever, just really open and friendly. Had to speak for the majority through an interpretor, mind, so he needs to start learning some English.

Well he's a striker so I'd hope not.
