Have we been linked with any LBs? Gibbs and Robertson seem to be moving for prices in our reach, seems to me like dummet is a nailed on starter.

Still don't think he will walk, but if he does I think that's enough for me until Ashley is gone.

Jesus

Fair

There is this night market near me, bars, food, music the lot. It's really nice, only ruined by the fucking zany parents and their free-range kids. Tabitha's and Joshua's (it's not josh) running amok spooling everyone's fun, they should have to have leads on them like dogs. Last month one of the little darlings did a shite right in the middle of the path.

Don't have a dog in the fight so I hope they smash fuck out of each other (unlikely) the pair of bellends

Norwich are struggling a bit financially if I remember right? Let a load of their big earners leave for nowt etc. Their chairman is blowing smoke up the supporters arses, the only reason this doesn't go through is if someone outbids us.

Got Melvins tickets for September, should be canny

Play Baresi and move maldinI to LB?

Reminds me of Redmond at southampton

Honestly? I was bored at work

I think arbitrary tiers of players and then stating a player is definitely better than what we have with no proof is churlish, but I will stop.

Is he? Seen loads of him? He has a career total of 73 games, he scored 11 in 32 in ligue 2 and 14 in 37 in ligue 1 last season. Not sure either of those is one of your "top leagues".

Would you have been happy with that? Considering he has less experience in the prem than either mitrovic or Gayle? You said more than one good season too, he only started playing regularly this season so doesn't meet your criteria

Just had a quick look, using your criteria the players would be. Aubamayang Lewandowski Kane Lacazette Belotti Lukaku Icardi Immobile Werner Griezemann Good luck

Yeah we should buy two while we are at it..

Just a shite mitrovic

What's a tier 1 striker?

Congrats man

Oh and I got some spaff frozen when I had chemo, so I could put it on the donor register and have some with random people I suppose?

I don't have any, never really wanted them but the last couple of years I have started to change my mind a bit. Not it sure I could get over my selfishness and being able to do what I want on a whim though tbh.

£20 million doesn't get you a superstar anymore mate. I agree we should be aim for a decent mid table finish this season (13th - 9th would be a fantastic first season back imo). Also agree we have the right manager in place.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Im expecting signings but I don't think they will be a "superstar" level, as I don't think it's realistic, at least this season. If (maybe a big one) we are a cohesive hard working team this season (and this is where we have Rafa and those teams have much worse), then those teams don't (generally) have much better players than us. So a mid table finish could be realistic no?

I agree that we need to improve the team and squad but I think they are some very poor teams in the league. Take Burnley as an example, who would get in our team from them? Tom Heaton? Didn't they finish 12th the season just gone? I'm not saying I would be happy to go with what we have, far from it, but if your team has a way of playing that they buy into (like Burnley) then worse teams than us (even at present) have had "decent" seasons. For what it's worth, I think lack of outgoings is hampering in comings. You can only name 25 players over 21 years old afaik, we must have about 30 odd. If we can't get rid of some then we aren't going to pay their wages and just not register them.

Not happy with the lack of signings, however me posting my displeasure about it repeatedly on a forum isn't going to change much. Of course it's an open forum and everyone is allowed their opinion, but that also leaves your opinion open to comments from others. I think your posts always have a negative spin but that's just like, my opinion, man.
