The Fish

You mean like Jonjo or Saido Can't wait....

It's a gamble. If I were in charge, I'd have thrown money at Lacazette with a Relegation release clause, I'd have approached Carrick, and maybe 2-3 other 1st team/squad players. Staying up this year is absolutely worth £50-60m January window spend, even though we spent that in the summer.

We can get Austin, Bas Dost, we could probably convince quite a few strikers to be honest. Especially those from the continent. Include a relegation release clause and here's an opportunity to shine before the Euros with no long-term constriction.

Mooted £18m on Berahino? I'd rather we spent that on Austin and another Fullback.

Football365.com are repeating the papers' gossip articles and say we're in for Jonjo Shelvey, Saido Berahino and Henri Saivet. Would you be happy with that? A more composed creative centre mid than what we've got, but nowhere near the standard of Cabaye An unprofessional striker who's had one good season and a French centre mid who's as likely to be Amalfitano as he is Cabaye. I'm not excited by any of them to be honest.

RIP to a truly great innovator.

I don't think there is a lack of effort in the side, just a lack of a competent centre mid & a reliable finisher.

A British player with Premier League experience? Well apparently that's what we've needed, right? Europa League here we come!

I think the test is broken I put 6 pints, 4 glasses of wine & I got Romania (5th highest), then I tried again, with an extra 4 pints cos I'm off out tonight and I somehow get Namibia, (33rd), so then I tried an extra 9 pints and you're still Namibia. 20 pints and 4 glasses of wine and you're unlike anyone else...

You watch stuff in between jobs, fag breaks and meal times?

...go on

Wasn't that Mark Twain??

Aren't you pansexual?

I assumed he was talking about you.

Aye, if Defoe gets injured, or disinterested, they're not exactly blessed with options up front, are they?

As an aside, is it any surprise Allardyce is bringing in a big lump?

Would you take Cabaye back?

He'll get booed by the same numpties who called him worse than shit when he was here.

Makes sense for them to try and sign a centrehalf and more importantly to make a signing early into the window. Why the transfers aren't sorted before the window opens is beyond me.

Fuck Nandos

As long as he's not the only inbound striker, I'm not arsed.

Chill out lads, who needs Austin or Lacazette, we've got Albin Adj....Albion Adjectiv.... Albian Ajeti?

This is her in her early 20s, apparently. I'd rather Bellucci now than Welch then.
