Llambias was his slave name, Llambeezus is his God name.

Embarrassing and shambolic.I think there should be a thread to document all of his lies.

Get French Football ‏@GFN_France 3h Confirmed: Dimitri Payet has rejected offers from Fenerbahce, Wolfsburg and Fulham. #LOSC #FFC

Julien Laurens ‏@LaurensJulien 14h More talks today between PSG ans Villas-Boas. AVB is definitely the priority now. £10M release clause obviously not a pb for PSG.

He was in a s*** team though. Get him in a team with HBA, Cabaye (hmm), and another winger and I reckon he'd score for fun. Even his last season with Spurs he was their top scorer when Harry turned it round from Ramos and that was alongside Keane or Pavlyuchenko. He is always in s*** teams. That's his MO. He can't function in a side that wants to achieve anything, hence why Spurs f***ed him off.

Cisse shifted out wide to accommodate Bent?

To be honest, with service they could get 30-40 between them even if they don't necessarily click as a partnership as such. Might take a few games (hopefully a proper pre-season) to get to know each other's runs but I'd love to see him here. Been too long since we've had a natural goalscorer imo. Can't say I agree. We already have a natural goalscorer in Cisse, and Bent is inferior and too similar. We should be looking for a wide forward, preferably one who can also play central (PEA would be ideal). As much as I'm against it, even a return to a more direct style with a Carroll type alongside Cisse would be more successful (albeit limiting the potential of the team). Bent could actually be the worst type of striker signing we could make considering he'd be a first choice player.

No chance would Bent be coming to be anything other than a first XI player, probably alongside Cisse.

Great news .

If Pardew can't get the best out of Cabaye, there is no way he will set the team up in a manner which will even come close to us seeing the best of Anita, who has an even more limited/specific role than Cabaye if anything. I'm also not sure how anyone can rate Anita highly based on what we saw last season. Very much an unknown quantity at this point.

Same agency company as Ben Arfa, Debuchy and Sissoko . Would be very pleased with Payet.

I'm not sure how successful he would be there.The obvious candidate for that role is Marveaux, with Sissoko and Cabaye behind him imo.

The diversity of the squad is the least of our worries.

. He was great last year and is only going to get better.

Romain could be a useful player for all we know.

Shit article. Ignoring the elephant in the room just like all of the other clueless journalists.

Dafuq is PYE?

Daily Mail reckons PEA is willing to go to Swansea instead of Spurs as his dad idolised Laudrup. Think we can forget about him. Not convinced with Bony - really think a more versatile wide forward/striker à la PEA/Remy would be most suitable. In fact, I think it's probably the only addition we need as the squad stands right now.

I have to be honest with myself and say that I can't do that. Any players coming in will mean little to me until the Pardew cloud has gone. We already have very good players imo. New very good players won't improve Pardew. Pretty much how I'm feeling. Totally apathetic about summer transfers and resigned to, at best, a mediocre and ugly showing next year.

Montanier is going to Rennes isn't he?

Haha,unfortunately not, my predicting ability typically turns to shit as soon I bring money into the equation .

Really difficult to judge how good Anita is since he is clearly a player with very specific qualities and a role which he can't carry out in a team set up the way ours is. Don't think he would be in my first XI, at home at least.
