FFS when's Zlatan coming!

I reckon Levy is trying to negotiate a better deal but we are holding firm. I think this will happen. People are suggesting we move on but I don't think we'll get a better striker for the money. Hence why we haven't walked away.

Or maybe we have walked away as per today's reports.

Could be true. I personally think that a reporter has guessed this situation and everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. Trent still believes this will go ahead as he is probably the biggest IDK here. I believe him more than a random reporter.

Manchester is better than Birmingham

Oh you got me! Keyboard warriors stand down!

Please don't tell me delph got a loyalty bonus

I bet my friend £100 that we would finish top half and an amazing extra £50 that we'd finish above Southampton. I was very intoxicated...

Did he even turn up?

I don't mind pundits writing us off. I'm happy with being the dark horses this season. Everyone always brings their A game against the big boys. Teams will turn up expecting an easy win against predicted 17th. BRING IT ON I SAY! We escaped relegation with the worst scoring record in our history? I can't see that happening this year.

I kind of hope we don't get traore, adebayor and a quality CB because my balls will explode all over B6.

He's only 19!? Believable turn of pace, any striker could score 20+ goals a season if you poach that 6 yard box with him playing... For the sake of the reported 6m, get the facial organised Tim!

If you need some extra jizz Tim I was saving mine until the Bournemouth game. Happy to give it up early for the cause.

Good volunteer work DDID! Tim can't be far off firing blanks by now.

Agreed he probably could do more kill passes, but every ball doesn't have to be a killer ball, he picks the right pass most times. I'm not comparing him to Xavi in any way, but every time he got on the ball he didn't have to play a killer ball everytime. Also, didn't he play a 40yard ball to gabby against Stoke? To score... Doesn't get much more direct than that...

I'm not beating anyone off

Grealish was constantly fouled last season earning us a lot of free kicks. You don't get constantly snapped for being a bad player

I really want to watch the new boys but I caaaaan't :(

Do you need a pm?

You would be my hero

And mine

Also mine

Am I late to the partay?

Champions, nothing less

No Adebayor announcement? Sounds like Zlatan is coming instead. 0% ITK

Nkoulou is in the last year of his contract and has a current market value of £9.1m (plus hes playing in Ligue 1). Need I say more?

Yeah but what's his rating on Fifa?

Dont know but I will also add that hes with the same agency firm as Sanchez and Gay ;-)

He's a 79 rating

At least some have their head screwed on;

"They've done considerably better than us close window it seems so I wouldn't say its exactly a "sinking ship" even though its annoying we keep missing out on targets."

I'm also a believer that he came to us because we promised him to play CB and to captain the side. He'll throw all his toys out of the pram if played RB

I think he's looked a little suspect, I'm hoping he'll improve quickly. He just looks a little lost sometimes. He looks too much of a unit to be a RB these days though. Absolute beast!

Finally a player that attacks the back post, love him already

I've never heard of him. I know you shouldn't go by FIFA but they spend a lot of money researching players. It's a good indication of how he is rated. He is currently rated 76 with the potential to rise to 84... (Delph is rated 75? And Aaron ramsay is rated 83). Obviously in reality things are a lot different.
