excellent lazy skills

€3.5m apparently. Mental

It was a great performance and an even better result, but I can't help feeling we played the worst kind of football like . Cabaye, our 'playmaker', attempted just 25 passes, completing 17 of them. Perch then came on for him with 12 minutes and didn't actually attempt a single pass

Hopefully Redknapp will have the England job by then...

He should get at least 20 goals this season, so I reckon he's worth at least £18m in today's insane market

reckon he'll be getting a random drugs test after those 'strawberry syrup' comments

Moussa Sow is apparently Fenerbahçe bound for €12m

Football Manager has him down as a defensive minded midfielder

Should get Diamé for peanuts instead if we're after a midfielder. Or at least get him on a free at the end of the season

Along with Colo, he has to be the most intelligent player we've had for ages. Emre was the last one I suppose

Simpson is so gash

That's the wrong team, fwiw

Hypothetical here... If it were to go all tits up (calm down Pards) for the rest of the season and if we were ever to get rid of Pardew, I wouldn't mind Brendan Rogers as manager at all. Sure he'd get us playing nice football.

Hatem knows best, I say. We are more than capable of playing a passing game with the core of Colo, Cabaye and Ben Arfa. I don't see why not, like. Swansea do it, and our players are more talented than theirs, surely?

He shows the on-field intelligence of the kid back at school who doesn't like sport but plays football anyway because he's nothing else to do at lunch break. He'll never be good enough. It's not a confidence thing, it's an ability thing.

we'll get him for cheaper now then?

Man City style narrow 4-2-3-1 Krul Taylor Willo Colo Santon Cabaye Tioté Abeid Vuckic Ben Arfa Ba edit: That's with our current injuries, of course. Otherwise: Krul R.Taylor S.Taylor Colo Santon Cabaye Tioté Guthrie HBA Marv Ba Cabaye and Guthrie would have to chip in with a fair few goals, like.

Not a position we should prioritise, but we really should stick a little bid in for Momo Diamé. Contract is up at the end of the season and he is a class player. The resale value would be unreal, so it makes no sense not to. Buy now, sell later

Should he? I didn't know that. Good news... Still need another winger though, as Jonás is looking as though he might be getting to the point where he's past his best

Marveaux's injured though. Won't be back this season. He's way better than Obertan, at least. Will come up with the occasional assist, as he can actually cross from deep or the byline, whereas Obertan can't do either

Never really rated him that highly, but maybe Marc Albrighton would be a good signing? Hasn't played much for Villa recently and can only get better.

I've always though he'd be incredible in Spain. Don't know why the technically gifted English players like Guthrie don't move abroad...

very worrying.

aye, fuck it. Let's just finish mid-table every season

I'd rather we got a centre back and a winger ahead of a striker tbh, so not too bothered at this moment in time. Strikers always seem to perform a lot better when they're bought in the Summer anyway
