Monroe Transfer

How has he? I don't think he's said much wrong. In fact I dislike that about him in a way, he says little of note and portrays little emotion. Just stock answers and constant praise of his club and players. Anyway I see Joe Cole lasted a few minutes before going off with a hammy.

Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Livermore, Sandro, Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale, Defoe SUBS:Cudicini, Naughton, Vertonghen, Jenas, Townsend, Van der Vaart and Kane Can't understand why Vertonghen and Van der Vaart are benched.

AND MARVEAUX

Bigi played for the dev squad. WHERE THE FUCK IS AMALFITANO

Where's Amalfitano?

No Anita?

Care to explain how Ryan Taylor is better, to the extent that you'd "love to" see him play ahead of Simpson? I take it you know more than Pardew given your viewpoint.

Based on what?

30 hens and you?

o_O I'm going to watch this league from now on.

Trying to break the record for number of threads created within 48 hours?

That'll do

So pretentious.

Don't really have a problem with football or footballers. Some aren't portrayed in the best light via the press but they're either an exception to the rule and/or it's the press (some of who I do have a problem with) making them into something they're not. I don't know these people so I'm not going criticise them as people. I dislike them diving and mouthing off to the ref, but sadly that's part of football as a whole now, not something only the bad boys do. What I don't quite get is people recently over-praising some of the Olympians in comparison to footballers, because they saw them (Olympians) cycling/swimming/running etc for a few minutes and then witnessed a quick interview after. That being the sum total of said person's exposure to whoever.

That's a disgrace tbh. Comic Sans MS, really?

We've been linked with the same 4 or 5 players all summer, have got one in (Anita), another has gone to Germany (de Jong), but the other 3 are still available (Carroll, Douglas and Debuchy). Pardew probably just said the one more player thing to dampen expectations just in case we don't get more than one in, but I think it's clear they are trying for at least 2 and I reckon we'll get at least 2.

Why don't we try for that Jordan Rhodes? Scored for Scotland today on his debut I see. Him, Anita and Debuchy/A N Other FB plus the new young lads, and no more outgoings would represent a very good window for us. Not asking for too much either really.

Man Utd spending big money on a 29 year old with a supposedly questionable injury record... Man CIty with their egos... The title will be ours this season.

They've already invested heavily, presumably because they knew Van Persie was always likely to leave.

Man Utd agree £24m deal to buy Van Persie, muitple sources and you've probably already read about it by the time you reach this thread. Apparentely Song has been told he can leave as Wenger is "disgusted" by his attitude. I'd feel sorry for Arsenal but one look at their incomings and I'm suddenly jealous of them.

Seems to be generating a fair bit of hype this lad. Any of you seen him in person and able to give a good account of the guy?

Oh, you knew him?

Taylor was injured tbf.
