Saint Charlie

He is class, we know that. Lets not do the usual SWF and downgrade someone just because they have left. Poch was brilliant, Shaw phenomenal and Lallana is a class act. We will miss all three, plus Lambert who did more on the pitch than anyone to get us back to the PL. Pointless suggesting otherwise.

Gary Mellor as Beswick Sports I think.

Apparently its a Pro Star kit. Two tone red but not the one in the pic.

Or just catching up like he probably does quite often? His Agent has tweeted pictures of them quite a few times before.

When was the last time we signed someone from a PL team whilst we were also in the PL?

Schneiderlin just favourited a tweet that was, lets say, less than complementary about the kit!

No wonder it hasnt been announced yet.

So its real? We will get ripped for that all season. Huge **** up. Surely they could have organised a new one, this clearly only took 5mins. Its like an early 90s Galatasaray kit.

Its worse than the training shirt which makes me think it is probably not real. Also surely NC wouldnt have asked the players to wear that?

Imagine thats probably spot on if the summer so far is anything to go on. If only Veho hadnt taken over we could just use last year's kit.

If that is our kit then wow.

You really are a spiteful individual. Its sunny, have a beer and get outside. Second person on my ignore list after HelpMeRhonda.

Sorry but whatever your outlook it is kind of bizarre that Cork and Fonte havent signed new contracts. Both have suggested they want to stay and both are good players and no trouble, who wouldnt be asking for the earth.

Nobody in the current squad worthy of it. Will be a newcomer.

Tadic obviosuly has interest elsewhere, but also these deals do often take time to actually get over the line. Look at Ramirez, Wanyama, Osvaldo etc - its never quick.

Davie IN sWeden - now is your time buddy. Scouting report please!

He obviously isnt on that. It comes from that Goal report which is clearly rubbish.

Why is his contract not sorted? Just bizarre.

Morgan then Davis then Cork.

Good post. Key for me is whether we will correct the depth issues from last season or will just end up replacing the outgoings one for one. We will need to sign 8 or 9 in order to cover both and I wonder if we will manage that?

They are certainly covering their bases but Kolo is their preferred target.

Whats even wrong with it? We HAVE lost most of those mentioned?

Liverpool and Spurs arent direct rivals, certainly not Liverpool.

Can't let people like him and Osvaldo take the ****. Maximum fines if that is the case. Clearly he will go though, and in all honesty it won't be long before most of the signings from the previous era have moved on IMO.
