Never surprised with England selections.

After a few games in and deadline day over with, who do you consider to be stronger and challenge for promotion? I noticed Wolves have been very busy and pulled off a few shock buys,Fulham also had a busy window,Villa strengthened. Think the top 6 may well look like this. 1.Newcastle 2.Fulham 3.Villa 4.Norwich 5.Wolves 6.Brighton/Derby?

Sound like McClaren there. Judge me after 10 games and if they are still shit, then just judge me for more. Already deciding lazaar,yedlin,Atsu etc is our strongest best 11 before seeing them play makes total sense.? Might be total shit. Not even seen enough of Gamez, who could be brilliant. Murphy might end up being our best player, For fucks sake Elliott was our best player last season, and nobody has him in? Sels? So far looked average.

How can some be putting Lazaar,Yedlin etc Don't know the best 11 until we have at least 10 games behind them

Decent enough. Would have thought with the size of us and having Benitez, we would have attracted some high profile loans from the top Prem sides.(only Atsu) not sure how good he is, only really basing that on the fact Wilshire ended up at Bournemouth. Guess January will be a chance to enhance the team should we need it. All in all can't grumble, Gini 25m,Sissoko 30m, Janmaat 7m, Townsend 12m Parachute payments on top. Something struck me, didn't Ashley say he would walk away from the club if we won a trophy. Would that include the championship title?

The perfect ending to our summer business. Would like to have seen more but 12 new additions, 18 moved on and a huge profit. Time to allow these boys to gel and see what they can do, then reevaluate in January if a tweak or two is needed push on and win the division. Not really arsed about anything else just want us to have a squad that work for each other like last time we were down here, togetherness between the lads was spot on. ?Hwtl

Off to watch prison break. Know after Sissoko deal is done, we are done. Atsu announced. End.

That's no airport. Whatever it is, St Pankhurst station or some s*** they keep calling it. Just f*** off and stop playing it. St Pankhurst :lol: Seen it that many times now, I'm drugged by it. And now don't even know what I'm saying.

Getting bored of SSN keep replaying the David luiz walking through airport over and over as a fill gap. Boring,

Get 12 for the price of 2.? Plus 40m in parachute payments. Ridiculous.

Fucking class. ??

Combined they cost about 15.5m for us.

Knockaert bid please..... ?

Having medical at Everton. Ryder cluless

Wish someone would buy Berahino, then WBA get more cash and steam in with full upfront purchase.

He certainly far from the biggest game changer, or a game changer at all considering he hasn't done that once for us. He's never once changed a game for us? His debut, the Norwich 6-2 and west Ham when we had to win. Not a lot to show for his time here mind. That is pretty much the the best he's ever been. Rest of time average or not arsed.

I'd take 25m upfront, then go all in for Knockaert. Would be a class signing.

Will be over the moon if he's at West Brom tonight. Over the moon.

Fuck me! Fabragas has been on the pies.... Did he drive him up from Chelsea?

Thing is with football now needing billionaire owners not millionaire owners, and greedy players all over, it's always going to be difficult to bring success for any owner. Ashley had it wrong in so many ways, but you could look at what we had before with Hall, and see how we were like probably how City fans & Chelsea fans feel a bit now, Jack Walker was basically the same, he practically bought Rover's their title. Now look at Blackburn, a favourite for relegation, under Venkys a total shambles, you can see Ashley hasn't got it wrong as some. It's difficult, you would have to say he's an honest guy if he keeps his word, he did say he would turn the club around, and invest so we didn't find ourselves in a relegation fight again, true to his word he threw a lot of cash at the squad last season, only problem was all the decisions were advised by Graham Carr, Carr earmarked all the incoming players, and McClaren. The latter being the wrong choice and us leaving it too late to save ourselves. Only other thing Ashley claimed was any type of trophy or finishing in the champion's league places would see him see his tenure as a success, and then he would walk away. Let's see if he can stick to that, or if that is ever achievable, would any of us reconsider wanting him gone? I mean imagine him selling to someone worse, it could be us saddle with a Venkys type owner, would anyone want to go through another era of uncertainty? I feel safe with Benitez, so if Charnley etc all get along, promotion is achieved, and a steady building process. I'm not to arsed about Ashley packing up. I mean the guy rarely gets involved these days.

Gayle will end up top scorer in this league tbh Not if he gets injured. Armstrong just has to show what he can do, if he establishes himself in the first 11 like he did at Coventry, then there's no reason why he shouldn't get some goals. It's actually a good move for him, because he can prove to Benitez now that he can do the business, if he can get in their side. Can only wish him the best, if he's not in contention here.

We haven't really seen what the ones we released could achieve at this level though? What's to say Cisse wouldn't have been lethal at this level? Wijnaldum would destroy this league, I think Tiote also would have been a monster. Rightly Colo & Taylor had to go, but we know from last time some shocking players looked half decent in this league. Williamson and Shola looked like champions league level down there. Shola played a dozen games down there and scored his record tally for us, lovenkrands & Harewood putting goals away no probs. Seriously, if we had kept the relegation side, we would have destroyed the division, what we have is good still. Wouldn't say it's stronger/better. If Rafa had not sold any, or clauses inserted. The likes of Townsend/Thauvin/Gini/Sissoko/Cisse/De Jong, many would have ran riot. We only needed to sort the defence out. You only have to note Gouffran already, to see a total write off has found his level. The sad truth is it had to come to this, because none of the Prem side gave a fuck, but they are better than this, no question. ?

Goals per minute I think he will finish higher than what we have. Daft move, hope he can be recalled at any point.
