Really don't get how people can be happy for us either to move onto a worse target or get no one at all so that fat bastard can make a few extra million quid in profit.

Very good move from us if it comes off.

Confident enough in our scouting to be pleased with this news. Hope we are still in for Remy or someone similar too though.

Something actually going on!

Impressive CV, would be nice if this is the first of a number or roles being filled.

Giaccherini has signed for them.

Yup.

Don't think he's a bad player at all, he's just not what we need at all if he's the only striker we are getting in.

Refuse to believe it is Bent, not sure I could take it.

Can't say I've watched any of their signings so far except Altidore but Giaccherini looks like a good player. Dangerous game they are playing having so many new players who need to adapt to not only a new club but a new league. The mass macktracking about players coming from different leagues is a sight to behold.

Best for everyone that he moves on though, good luck to him.

Hauled off marra.

Still can't believe that, unreal man

Another of Tiotes sons by the look if him.

He looks terrified

I like them. I hope they present Tahiti with a wooden spoon engraved with "It's the taking part that counts"

Probably reading far too much into a few results but it's going to be interesting to see how the Spanish teams (national and domestic) react after this game and the champions league results. They are still unreal but the shine has come off a little going into a season for the first time in a good few years.

Please tell me Julio fucking Cesar isn't going to be playing in the championship next season

Imagine being stuck in a tent with just Wayne Rooney and a pot noodle for company

I'm not sure what to make of him tbh. Whenever i've seen him he seems very direct but not particularly technical or skillful, even at times clumsy, but he seems to manage to find a way through. Not convinced myself but alot of people with far more football knowledge than me seem to rave about him.
