To improve our game? To have settled squads at the start of the season? Fuck that noise, some dirty forrins might FORCE us to sell them a player even though we're under absolutely no obligation to even entertain it.

I think it's the part where other European teams can still buy our players. Say your Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern etc, and you fancy a player like Dele Ali. You wait until our window shuts and then you buy Ali, leaving Tottenham unable to strengthen after losing one of their best players. For me that's a massive flaw, easily sorted by bringing in rules so we can't sell either when our window shuts. THEY COULD JUST NOT SELL HIM

Bet he didn't have to talk to Uncle Joe very much

Mind you, you could say Riviere never got a fair crack here also He had a shot from inside the box (think it might have even been in the six yard box) on his debut that went out for a throw in. That was one of the high points of his time with us

I reckon it could be the wage bill holding us up. We've got a large number of players drawing salaries who aren't needed, won't be used and have no future at the club. We'll maybe see some more movement once we've shifted a few of them. Krul, Saivet, Colback, Haidara and Riviere would be about £8.5m a year going off reports.

Looks like they photoshopped his head on. I think this one will work out well. Rafa obviously knows and likes him and by most accounts he has some talent and it shouldn't have eaten up much of the transfer budget. Got to be better than Riviere anyway.

You can always just not sell them.

He's a busted flush. Doesn't have the attitude to make it at the top level despite his talent and is a bit too fond of the extra-curriculars by some accounts.

Thought Andy was good in Lord of the Rings, like.

West Norwood's where the cool kids hang.

Possibly we've been thinking Mbemba and Hanley will be moved on.

I'd rather give De Jong a try at #10 than Ritchie.

Maybe these ones will be beta than the last lot.

Ah, fuck. Hope that's wrong, like.

I agree, it's got to be worth a try anyway. Hayden and Merino with De Jong in front of them could be quite effective I think. Maybe slightly lacking in creativity but Merino seems like he has a bit of talent and a lot of the time yesterday Shelvey just seemed to be lumping it anyway.

We did alright until the sending off. We definitely need to get the chequebook out and quick though. A proper number 10 would make a big difference to our game I think, Perez was just totally anonymous out there. Some positives to take away for me were Atsu and Merino, they both looked pretty good. Blob didn't have a bad game either in fairness.

Dummetts hamstring gone? Could be out a while if it has.

HTL

Time's wrong on the match thread.

Got Milburn there?

Who can't count then?

I think they mostly live near the coast, fog rolling in from the ocean provides a little moisture. Penguins live there apparently.

Our powder must be like the atacama by now.
