People are stoopid.

Bakary Sako has signed for Crystal Palace on a three-year deal. He was a player that we were linked to earlier in the transfer window. Have to be honest, Crystal Palace are starting to look a really decent squad, especially their attack.

I think Timmy sure would start Sinclair anyway. He's been in good form this preseason.

Is this based solely on the fact that Benteke has left? Obviously he was immense but I feel that we're already a stronger team than last year.

Sometimes, when I don't have any milk, I'll eat my cereal with water.

Now that Bent and Given are gone, he is officially our biggest waste of cash/space in the squad. Congrats Charlie!

If we were going to get a new GK I don't think we would've signed Bunn.

I would prefer a permanent transfer on a five-year deal.

There will definitely be goals in this game. I think the only way we win is by outscoring them so I'm hoping for a 3-2 win. Is there any reason no one is mentioning Grealish? Is he not fit/injured? I think he'll be one of our most important players this season.

Tbh i'd say every single one of those is extremely unlikely to want to come here. That's what my second post was for!

We can sell them on the whole "stepping stone" idea. Play well for us for a few years, earn a big-money move to Citeh.

Praying that we splash a large portion of our remaining budget on a quality CB. Ideally: N'Koulou (25) Marseille Dragovic (24) Dynamo Kiev Martins-Indi (23) Porto Matip (23) Schalke And finally, an absolute(ly impossible) dream signing: De Vrij (23) Lazio

We still have young Jack, our future captain and saviour.

Hopefully not in someone's eye.

If we've bid for a United player, I'd really like Valencia. He would bring leadership, experience and pace to the team. In reality it's probably Johnny Evans. I think an experienced CB is our main priority.

I figure we should look for a RW before a LW. We already have Young Jack and Sinclair for that position. Not to mention the best one of all, Gabby!

I'm sorry but this really made me laugh.

I doubt it. That midfield would get absolutely pummelled IMO. Plus every player in that is out of position. Gueye is a box to box CM, Tout is a CM, Gil can play on the wing, and i dont know anything about praet : ) I know but you have him in the DM role, I wouldn't want my DM going from box to box. You also have Veretout in an AM role which he is naturally suited to as far as I know. Gil also isn't great IMO on the wing. Personally I would have it looking like this with the midfield 3 being quite narrow. Veretout Gueye Praet Gil All my opinion of course. Praet is a CAM isn't he?

Suck it Leicester!

Anyone else think he looks like The Weeknd? (Canadian R&B singer)

Luckily we've got a decent looking LB to provide plenty of that Great signing for his hair alone!

But then what would we all complain about?

He's almost as deluded as the Scousers thinking he could play CM.

Didn't his wife have a baby recently as well? Seems like athletes lose focus for a bit when that happens. I'm sure he'll be a good squad player for us this year.

I think we knew this was coming when we saw Crespo's beard. Best of luck to you Nathan. I will always remember you for your hilarious own goals and penchant for head injuries.
