Saint Charlie

Tello must be unlikely - he outshone Messi for Barca last night. Phillips and Ramirez are the ones - talks between Saints and Bologna in England today...

Yeah - it was almost as if Aguero had never heard of Clyne and thought he could out pace him at a canter...quality tackle.

Playing in the centre he has a natural desire to get forward- none of our other CMs are naturally attacking (apart from Chaplow) and therefore assuming we bring some wide players in i would leave him in the middle where he will grow even more influential. Promising yesterday...

You could tell his touch was class. He is a striker who can play out wide - Im sure he would rather play there than be on the bench.

No, of course they werent the third party.

Pretty much all offset by the AOC sale. Wages obviously gone up a lot but we have brought in the right players.

Apparently Moses not now going to Chelsea according to Martinez they have dropped their interest. He will be a big threat. Maloney being kept out would be good for us.

Against other teams he can push forward more. Setup the second today from in our half.

Shaw covers whole of left side. Seaborne clearly to cover Jose and Jos. Hammond not good enough and we had Davis to cover CM.

Would imagine Ramirez would have to wait for a Work Permit if he does sign.

Adkins wants AL central, he will stay there.

Further evidence if anyone was in doubt we have one of the best Managers in the league.

Pretty sure it's permanent from what Adkins said.

Wum

Everyone 7, Clyne, Lallana, S Davis, Lambert 8

Yeah got to react quicker in the box. Looked like we were marking zonally too.

Yeah Clyne looks class...pace, aggression, didn't give the ball away. Top signing. Lallana so energetic and class on the ball, also thought S Davis made a difference when he came on, uses the ball well and quality finish.

Puncheon put a HUGE shift in!

Everyone played well, move great football and plenty of passion.

Hope he was watching today.

Forget him, something wasn't right with it.

Suprised how many negative comments there are. We have passed well and will do well against the teams below the top 5/6.

Build up been ok, raving about our academy and bravery to select JWP.

BTW Davis 90mins for NI in the week was his first since March, he isn't 100% match fit yet.
