I don't think we really had a squad capable of coping with the extra workload either. I wonder if they get a group like we did too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours we are about to get 65m for Diaby, who we paid £36m up front and £10m in future bonuses. If so, that's a decent bit of business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, every time I post about a player you don't rate, similar to back then, you are very quick to go on about how shit they are. Now, I don't mind it, but please don't start kicking off again once the season starts, if I remind you of some of these bold claims of yours. Thanks!

Well it’s a forum and if I don’t rate a player then surely I can say so one would think. There’s many players we have been linked with that I rate that you’ve also liked so no I don’t think they are all shit. I don’t think DCL is absolutely shite and I’ve said so before. But he is unreliable and will struggle for fitness and form. I’ve even said before that I would take him but only for reasonable wages and fee, but it would have to be low money. I can see West Ham taking a too big of a risk and spend big money for him and his wages and I’d be very surprised to see him play most games and score 10-15 goals to make it worth it. He might do well for them and play tons but I find it very unlikely as said… Also, even if some get it right/wrong there’s no need to relentless gloating. Just don’t see why people would do it, it’s just boring and tiresome. Yes it can be mentioned but sometimes it goes beyond that.

Or someone's offering them a massive mark up on a player who was a bit meh last season? Like someone offering us 70mill for Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
