I'm confident he'll stay. I do think we should be looking for another CB to play alongside him though. Saylor and Willo aren't brilliant, like.

If we could offload Smith it would be wanktastic. I'd keep Best though.

We sign someone on a free which immediately rules us out of trying to a buy another player of a similar style. God forbid we might try and add a bit of depth to the squad, or give us a few options (rotating wings etc). Fuck me.

Completely out of the blue this, like. Another promising signing though, and on a free means we've still got money to be spent elsewhere. Good start to the day.

N'Dogbia.

"Why didn't we sign Tiote? He won a game of connect 4 using only 3 pieces"

Next shit thread will be...

Shola

Krul.

I despise Cardiff, but I hope Shearer does well if he goes there. For now I'd much rather have Pardew as our manager than Shearer, though.

You'd think 2 scouting networks would realise that a player easily capable of missing open goals isn't worth a high sum, whether it is 10mil or 6-9mil. I'll still wait and see for myself.

I've seen very little of him, so I'll reserve any judgement until I see him play for us, if we do sign him.

Scored a mint goal with him on FIFA last night, so I'm now fully confident that he's better than Messi

As has already been said, if we bring him in on a free AND sign another striker, brilliant news.

I could potentially develop a massive man crush on this guy, like.

I'd be sticking Koeman in there somewhere.

Class from Fergie that.

I don't think we'll get Zog, like. That said I'd be delighted if we got Cabaye, Gervinho and Gameiro.

Pedro is underrated, he'd get in the starting XI of any other team in the world imo.

Didn't bother with the red card bets. Went for: Back Your Odds Your Stake Your Profit D Villa 2 - 0 48 £2.00 £94.00 D Villa 2 - 1 70 £2.00 £138.00 Pedro 2 - 0 55 £2.00 £108.00 Pedro 2 - 1 95 £2.00 £188.00 A Iniesta 2 - 0 95 £2.00 £188.00 A Iniesta 2 - 1 140 £2.00 £278.00

14/1 Vidic red card or 20/1 Rooney red card are looking pretty tempting.

I've not seen much of him play at all so difficult to put in any decent judgement of him, but surely that price for a player in the French squad must be a good deal.

The pessimism on this forum is unreal at times.
