I'd probably be pleased with Shaw tbh, but there'll be other left backs out there for similar money, Chelsea's Baba Rahman for example, currently on loan at Schalke.

A one that is not Ray Hudson, so not a very good one really.

Love all the African kits. Especially Egypt, just lovely.

That mockup of it looks good

That's bollocks that tbh. Even if it was the case (which it isn't), at least he's actually been good in games for us. He's a far more dangerous player than Murphy who's shitting himself against the likes of Swansea, Burnley and Bournemouth. What the f*** would he be like against Man Utd? Get a player on the pitch who actually has the stones to do something 'cos Christ we f***ing need it. It's not bollocks like, it's perfectly reasonable. You have got your own opinion and I respect it, although I disagree I think Murphy will be dangerous given time, and I actually think he has more potential than Aarons from what I've seen of the two play.

Murphy over Aarons for me. Needs a chance now otherwise it may never come. Nothing wrong with Aaron's like and should be at least on the bench, but people perhaps overrate him slightly and forget he has been equally poor in games as he has been good. Still has a lot of work to do, but given one of them has just moved to us for over £10m, I think it's safe to say he needs to be playing games.

Good chance for Murphy to finally start some games. Can't be judged on his performances up until now. Few starts under his belt is much needed.

Yep. Optimistic Nut pointed out we got draws there in both of our relegation seasons. Both 0-0 I believe. Didn’t we also get a 0-0 there in our first season back in 2010? Edit: It was 1-1 in our first relegation season, we lost our first trip back since relegation but drew the next one, 1-1. Danny Simpson/Tim Krul heroics iirc.

I'd be buzzing with that like. What a link.

A classic

Just looked there, he has 11 in 11 for Galatasaray. Ana it's only the Turkish league but still good that.

1 & 2 didn't quite work out

Badly executed that mind, hope him/his team didn't pay much for it...

Ings/Cairney sound like improvements 'on paper', but perhaps not if they're both going to be injured/struggling for fitness. Besides, in the grand scheme we should probably aim a bit higher than them anyway. Still take them both mind.

How has he been playing this season, anyone know?

Fancy a Mitrovic goal from the bench. 2-1 Man Utd though, is my guess.

Would be nice to observe the relegation battle without being involved in it this season. Also would love to see WHU or Everton drawn into it.

Juve's commemorative kit is stunning like.

Nice from Lacazette. Like the way he plays, think he could go on to be a top striker in this league.

Can see why City bought him. He's very good with the ball as well as being a really tough tackler. I think he's better than Mangala, who was someone else we were sort of linked with.

Fact of the matter is, Joselu and Gayle aren't scoring goals and aren't offering too much else to our game either, so giving Mitrovic a chance is hardly compromising a lot. It's kind of a case of what have we got to lose, as continuing with our current attack is going to see us massively short on goals. Maybe, just maybe Mitrovic can find some form, and tbh, I don't think he's had a fair run of games the entire time he's been our player, which is out of order imo.

My criticism of Rafa yesterday was due to his subs. We were having all of our joy in the game through long balls being won by Joselu and Gayle or Atsu trying to make something of them. To then remove Joselu and not put on Mitrovic in his place was just bizarre and wasn't playing to the course of the game at all. Mitrovic would have created chances for us yesterday, I don't doubt that for a moment.

They have looked good together on numerous occasions, probably most of the time they played together, which hasn't exactly been that many times with Mitrovic constantly in and out of the side the past year. Hope that starts to change soon.

Which saves were they? Tipped one over the bar that was going in and made an absolutely great save to hold a shot taken from close quarters by King or Wilson or think. Could have easily been a goal if he didn't hold it. I'd expect literally any keeper down to the championship to make both of those saves. We are talking premier league here, all keepers will make the regulation saves. It's the other stuff that sets them apart I was just answering the question of what saves, I haven't actually read the discussion. I probably wouldn't disagree with this.
