As the Brandon Williams rumour circulated on here for so long this summer, and the fan base was truly split on him be a potential legend or a massive waste of money, I feel he's earnt his place on the defectors thread. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does at Norwich. My guess right now, this season will be a steep learning curve for him ending in relegation.

DC was class. Loved watching him rip L1 up. I guess had he not had so many injury problems, we wouldn't have had him here.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is madness. Do yourself a favour Ralph, before this opportunity slips you by.......

I couldn't find a stream on Saturday, so I followed GOT for updates as a 1,000 moaning scousers is very useful for live updates. They were moaning that they didn't scout him. It was nice reading the oppositions views of that performance. This kid has the world at his feet. I turned off after an hour.......obviously

The problem is, I wouldn't trust us to spend £50m on what we need right now anyway, so its still a no from me......

Be kinda helpful if someone like Spuds came sniffin and unsettled him. Would like them to be in the fight again with Bruce.

Yay, level is now onside once again. Can't wait to see us screwed over in the coming weeks with this. Probably starting next sunday!

Panned out as to be expected. As someone who has defended Ralph for a long time, its getting tiresome. How do we come out so crap after his talk. Two bloody minutes. Where are the leaders, where's the mean streak? Get fucking nasty, before we sleep walk into another bullshit season. AA and Liv look good, and have made the 3-1 not look like a lemmings on the itchen bridge affair! Must do better Saints. That was a dogshit Everton team. GOT got out of jail with that. And they are my fav meltdown barr Aftv.

If we want anything from today, then energy energy energy. That's how we win this. I'm bloody nervous right now.

My prediction for this game, we'll win the first half and lose the second. And that probably makes it 2-1. Hope I'm wrong.

I reckon Brenford will win this. Might even be comfortable.

There's only a few things I want from this coming season, but this thread to be lit is one of them. The leavers are not lovren level, but screw wishing them well.

Over the last six months, I think FF should be first choice. I've seen improvements with his game. Not seen any with Mac's.

Don't fold too quick saints. Hold out for 18M. They will be back in for him. They are sensing a bargain at a time when they need someone. Hold firm. and we'll get a better deal.

I'm most excited by the fact the boy can take a penalty! We need that prowess desperately! Good times.

I'm hoping they don't drop a really big offer, because I want him to stay. But we'd be foolish to turn down anything north of 45.

What's more likely than that is, we have a poor campaign and survive. And he has a lass than stella season and all the interest drys up.

Having watched RB for for 70 mins yesterday, I didn't see anything different from his last few months with us. Watch him slip down to bit part player. I'm happy with the decision.

Say it quietly, but I think Walcott looks sharper in this pre-season than in any time over the last five years. We could well get four or 5 goals from him over this season.

How long before £1M a week isn't enough?

Glad the financial fair play has evened the playing field for all the teams.

And Sig is still banged up.....this could be a good time to play them! 😀

First game of the season. Rafa. Everton. I reckon we'll play well, perhaps even dominate possession. And lose 1-0. That would be a fairly typical start.

I'm just waiting for the picture of Dean smith standing next to Messi holding up the Villa shirt now. Money to burn.

Its not buyers market now. That boat has sailed. Panic is setting in and prices are going up. The ill prepared are set to pay.
