Didn't he have Okocha and Djorkaeff at Bolton?

He's our best midfielder? Not anymore In terms of performance last season he was behind Cattermole, Ki, Larsson and towards the end Giaccherini. He's alright and I do rate him as a canny player but still...

He's our best midfielder?

I'm sorry to see him go. Was just starting to get forward more under Poyet. Good tackler, good work rate, keeps it simple. As some of you have said if he's coming in as a squad player then he's worth signing. If he's coming in as Cabaye's replacement you're all going to be bitterly disappointed. Cabaye scored and created goals. Jack likes passing sideways and backwards a lot.

Forgot about him...

How much did they cost in total? About £180 million or so...

Ramires - Fabregas Willian - Oscar - Hazard Costa

Other than the top six or seven there are no established PL teams. For everyone else survival is the first goal. Even if you do manage to finish fairly high up your best players will all have to go and be squad players for big teams while you try to survive and build again. I've been p*ssed off with football in general for a while now tbh Was that meant to be in reply to mine? In a roundabout way I was agreeing with you.

Ustari, bardsley, Colback & Gardner gone? (Or going) Who else is off? Colback could go anywhere. Still hopeful he'll stay. Same with Larsson though we'll probably only need one of them. You can add to the list Celustka, Vergini, Alonso, Ki, Borini (return after loan) Dossena, Westwood (released) Overhaul marra...

The run we went on at the end of the season co-incided with Bardsley getting suspended and Vergini (a centre half adjusting to a new league) playing at right back. No too fussed about him going tbh. Only thing that concerns me is that he is our only full back. We've had no one else permanently to play right or left back for yonks now.

Been messed about by a series of managers, played left back, right back, left wing. Gus seems to have got him onside and rarely moves him out of position. He's also started getting into the box a bit more this season. I'd be gutted to lose him tbh. He'll f***ing love it here then Majority of this season you have not had a wide player in a wide position right? Sissoko, Gouffran, Anita, Dummett I've all seen play there. Why is Ben Arfa not starting? His best form for you came on the right?

Bit much that...

Could be canny for both parties. He's getting on a bit now but could still provide adequate cover for Zabaleta whilst having a last big payday. Wenger has a daft rule for players over 30 and has Jenkinson to step in.

f*** off Not exactly the greatest endorsement from a sound mackem. Is there something we need to know, hithere? There was a time when I was the only one. [emoji22] Stray mackem not on here any more? Nah he is. There's a crowd though

Thank you for this. I'll post my swaps later on if anyone wants to trade. If you don't mind posting to Sunderland that is.

How long is this straw clutching going to go on?

Just downloaded the app after seeing this thread. Will post my swaps later if anyone fancies trading.

Was it that or was he just a bit mental? Granted I was eight when he was managing England but that's my understanding of it. My favourite story about his tenure as England manager is the Ray Parlour/Eileen Drewery 'short back and sides' one.
