Dejan will be working with another Serb if he goes to Liverpool if their Markovic transfer goes through.

Expect the worst and you can only be pleasantly surprised. Or annoyed that you've got the worst. Or something.

I thought we'd be on TV a lot as we've sold all our players and are most likely going to get soundly beaten by every team we play against. Im actually glad we aren't on Sky much, I've been known to get lazy and skip games if it's on TV. I'm determined to get to SMS more than the thrice I made it last season. (Shift work pending.)

That's my wife! The cheating *****! This spells divorce, I tells ya. I've never been so hurt... (Disclaimer: I couldn't get a woman like that even if my willy were an inhaler and she were having an asthma attack.)

We're currently well represented with players whose First initial falls in the first half of the alphabet.

Pelle,Pelle,Pelle,Pelle,Pelle,Pelle,Pelle,Pelle,Batman! And that's my 10,000th post suitably wasted. :-)

This bit from Bohemian Rhapsody for when he wants to join Liverpool next summer: Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Graz Pelle! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!) Graz Pelle! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Graz Pelle! We will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. (Let me go!)

I see the similarities.

This is why I reckon Allardyce could be the first managerial casualty. There's a lot of pressure on him not only to win but to play prettier football than they did last season. He has to hope those signings come good, and quickly.

Enner Valencia close to signing for West Ham apparently. West Ham are winning the transfer window. :-)

After a curry, my wife's a poo lady. I approve of Redmond if the price is right. Only 20 and has potential. Hughton, I believe, is one of those managers that signs a player and does nothing for their development, just plays them as they were signed. Redmond needs nurturing and could become a real Premier League force if coached correctly.

Just watching his interview. Seems like a very down to earth chap. He also looks a bit like Morgan IMO. Getting 3 good years out of him and this could be money well spent. As he says he's tall, strong, can play with both feet and works for the team. A good Rickie replacement it seems.

I like alcohol too. :-)

Im not sure Morgan will still be here come September, much as I'd love him to stay (unless Koeman can work his influential magic). To that end Clasie would be a top replacement. Even the commentators on ITV are calling him the Dutch Xavi. Be nice to have a Xavi type at SMS. He'd fetch us multi millions of pounds next summer! :-)

I'm excited but a little apprehensive. This is our transition season. I don't see relegation, we're too strong for that, but it'll take some doing to achieve what we did last season, even if we do strengthen all areas suitably. 10th-12th and a decent cup run would be OK.

Fist game? What you get up to in the comfort of your own home...

He's a looker all right, might have to blind the missus before I let her back in SMS.

This is excellent news! Welcome Pelle. May you be as good, and thus as worshipped, as the player you replace.

Sticky it; STICKY IT!

Come on! Photos already!

I loves a weekend signing! Welcome on board Pelle. Two in, 4/5 to go. (Takes Guan's wink as gospel.)

That'd be a decent bit of business and would have the attacking midfield spots sewn up. Ramirez-Honda-Tadic has a lovely creative ring to it. When was the last time we loaned a player in? Was it Jos?

WBA have signed Left back Sebastian Pocognoli. He was a top purchase on FM 2007 iirc. (The game where Lescott was a good centre back for Everton and Chris Baird was still with us but being kept out the team by a half decent Alex Ostlund.)

Fair play if he's trying.
