So have you heard of any other deals today then? No loans?

Is VVD the last bit of incoming today?

It's Saint Armstrong on here.

Must be true

I see Connor is weaseling his way onto the BBC site. Not sure why he is expecting no one in today.

100% record with sticky threads turning into signings...

If you include the keeper when talking about formations then you are a little bit weird.

When you think about it it's utterly ridiculous that our defence is weaker than our first season up.

Box of frogs.

Ridiculous to predict 8th-10th. Divorced from reality.

This is the worst game this season so far and that's saying something...

No they weren't. Wanyama took the p*ss out of Barcelona for goodness sake

Short term decisions with aging players would also concern me but I'm not suggesting that. Potential top quality like Wanyama is what we should be going for or Mané, both of who were ambitious and exciting signings. It's early days but from what I've seen so far the players we have brought in this year are the same quality yet. Fine to buy some potential but imo we should be combining that with a couple of 10-15 million pound players every season and then replace what we lose with the best quality we can. There is a balance to strike here between a canny cheaper buy and that proven quality that costs a bit more.

By buying quality like Wanyama, Clyne, Jay rod, mane etc

I disagree. I don't think we should ever look to consolidate or stand still as it's a recipe for disaster. We should look to improve every year regardless of who we let go.

Whilst I agree with some of what you say, that old argument of "we would have been happy with that X amount of years ago" is a pretty silly one.

Not sure about any of you, but the freedom I really miss is the one where I have the freedom to shoot anybody I choose. That darn government getting in the way of my freedoms telling me who I can and can't shoot!

Except it isn't. It fulfills a homegrown slot that Chelsea needs and he is English so will always command a large premium. Much like sterling earlier in the window, this is how much young English players cost.

If you get a moment then download the totalxbmc program and then install the sportsmania skin under community builds. It looks quality.

He didn't dispute that.

Pretty sure they do have hbo.

It's quite obvious to me. Berahino is young English and loads of potential plus spurs are desperate to buy. Pedro wasn't a key player at barca because they have a team of stars, is older and isn't English. 25 million seems about right considering what we got for Adam.

Isn't it if it's a different ip though? Same house and you should be fine I think.

But that person wouldn't be able to pick it up unless they are eligible themselves. Unless they are allowing anyone with the photo id of an eligible person to pick it up which I doubt.

Well you would still have to go with the person who is eligible and take the photo id of other eligible people.
