Next Leon Knight.

Ridiculous situation. England will miss him a lot, not that I really care.

So much better than Simpson.

Anita is a big upgrade on Simpson at right back. Very impressive second half - hope he makes the position his own.

Anita looks a big upgrade on Simpson at right back.

Same here, Torres captain though. Hangeland in aswell, with Lukaku (injured) on the bench.

He's not that good of a defender - a midtable premier league one on a good day, maybe. His positional sense is often terrible, as is his decision making about when and when not to tackle.

"He just gets on with his job" "He's not the worst right back in the world" "His stats were pretty good last season"

Expecting a deadline day "race against the clock" for Carroll which ultimately comes to nothing, and little else. If it stays as it is, it will have been a pretty underwhelming window in which we could have pushed on and strengthened the first team ( right back) and the squad (Striker,CB?) significantly, but failed to do so.

3 assists. No goal.

£10 Hazard to score

Shame. He'll be a good signing for them.

Can't see this happening now. Really hope I'm wrong,though.

Not his worst game, but was at fault for the goal and stands out as the obvious weak link in the team. Will be frustrating to have to put up with his incompetent performances for another season.

West Brom looked pretty good to me. Yacob looks a decent player. Don't agree with those tipping them for relegation.

Really unexcited about this,still. Far more pressing concerns in other areas of the pitch.

Can't get my head round the fact folk don't understand that what happens in the Anita deal has no impact in our search for a right back. They aren't directly linked (buying Anita doesn't mean we don't have the funds to buy Debuchy/another right back), its more confusion at the fact that we're willing to bid 8 million euros for another option in midfield yet unwilling to pay 8 million euros to address the weakest position in the team.
