So do I but I still want that top player in there to run and shore up the back line, that in the big games when the defence is called upon they aren’t found wanting.

It’s a shame Pablo Escobar isn’t with us he had some serious money with a worldwide market

Also I think our defence is not more than average against the top 8, games are going to be very tight possibly one goal in it, with Keane Mina and Holgate for me there is no leadership no standout player who I trust to keep us in the tight games, I hope I’m proven wrong.

Realistic and if we finish higher fantastico.

Allan Kean Richarlison James Kenny 6th

The axe is coming out the cupboard, it’s Europe or a failure for most, and it’s 8th or better for the realist

Spurs I agree Leicester 50/50 Utd and Wolves will hold their own or even improve, what concerns me is our central defence possible one of the weakest in the top 12, there’s still time to get one decent CH in of the same standard of the the three mids we bought, if we fail to do that it could cost us big time.

So do I now I’ve said it

He also has technical skills he will 100% our best signing this season, he’s going to change the team in ways we haven’t seen since the 80s.

Didn’t realise you’d had no solids for so long mate that’s tough, sounds like a Bear Grylls form of extreme dieting ,seems like you’re comfortable mate not an hotel but very bearable, with good staff a TV and internet sorted. And of course annoying fuckers like me disturbing your peace

Good morning Mike did you have a good night mate, hospital’s can be boring places to be at the best of time’s. Have you been able to organise a TV I thought I better highlight a television just in case someone thought I meant Transvestite, for watching the football, great news that you ended up with a such a big footy fan in your ward at least you can while away a few hours talking bollocks with each other, enjoy your scrambled eggs on toast mate

I refuse to get my hopes up to high and be as disappointed as the last 4 years, 5th or 6th for me would amount to a residing success in my book. And if we get 4th then I’ll be on a 2 day bender.

Well said Stevie Wonder

Play some early Bowie mate Star man Rebel rebel and Space oddity would sound great on a Epiphone being as they have an acoustic rhythm guitar, but make sure you practice your bar chords mate Bowie loved them in his early stuff.

He will but they won’t have Ancelotti.

A very valid point, in the last 3-4 days our midfield as probably become the oldest in the league, some good younger players to learn off our first team mids would be a sensible way to go

In all fairness to yourself I searched and found that Arsenal I think offered Willian a 3 year deal at 30 nearly 31 I think, so it does happen, although in this case the extra year may have been an inducement because he was a free. Let’s definitely marvel at the fact Carlo is our manager and hopefully saviour.

I understand what you’re getting at but in this instance there age had more of an influence on the length of the contract than who they were, I would also guess that Allan and Rodriguez wouldn’t have entertained even talking to us if it wasn’t for Ancelotti, and he would have been at the forefront of the negotiations, I haven’t looked but I believe you would be hard pressed to find many 29 year olds been offered a 4-5 year contract in the PL especially on the sort of money they are on.

I didn’t put Delph down because they don’t play the same position, but if we throw Delph in as well we should nearly save the £10.50

It just had a good ring to it

If he’s available and a player or players plus cash deal can be negotiated, then let’s get him he’s definitely an upgrade on Walcott Bolasie Iwobi and Bernard, any 3 of them and £10.50 should seal it.

Yes but only in hindsight are they 3 of our top signings, they could have quite easily have been flops, the facts are he is no genius he does give out 4 and 5 year contracts, but like anyone with an ounce of sense you don’t do that to players of that are 29 years old. I’m telling you now if he would have been here when Gylfi Schneiderlin Bolasie Sandro they would have all ended up with the same length of contract, he’s not the guy you make out that only dish’s out 2 and 3 year contracts, that was done purely because of their age not their ability or their profile.

You would have to be a complete dick to give a five or four year deal to players of 29 years of age, that’s the only reason they are shorter contracts, it’s not because he doesn’t give out long term contracts take a look at Richarlison, Iwobi, Gomes, Digne, Mina ect, personally I think you’re reading to much into what any sensible person would do with players of that age, and suggesting he’s had some sort of divine vision for doing so, when in reality he’s done what would have been expected from anyone.

Only when it suitsbut for once I can’t remember whinging as much as I did last season, over our summer transfer window, is this were you prove me wrong
