Sportsmania is worth all the effort. Amazon fire stick, Kodi, Sportsmania, you wouldn't know I haven't got sky.

Shhhhhhhhh

What are sky playing at with this coverage by the way, they're usually spot on with their football stuff, but they're trying to act like your laid back mate at the pub on a Friday night after work. It's weird. Feels a little forced because of that. But good team to, I think the two changes most of us would have made. I'm interested to see Pierre for a full game, I think he's a star player.

Geoff Shreves.

Meltdown at Sunderland then, their two first choice CB's on their way out.

It's almost time for your medication.

Fiesta ST's are a little pocket rocket, really nice cars. The Focus ST has more muscle though for sure. I've got a Stealth ST3 (65 plate), it's a stunning car to drive - great fun, especially when you put your foot down in third gear and watch the turbo gauge go up. Assuming as you're after an ST, you're not really looking for mileage economy...! The best I've got mine to run at is 32mpg, but it averages around 28 I'd say. If you go for a Focus ST3 you get the full Recaro package for the two front seats, they're the best seats I've ever had in a car - very snug, but they're meant to be like that when you do the corners at 50mph..! But yeah, if you can afford the lease I'd go for a Focus ST. My lease on mine is up in a few years, will be interesting to see what prices the RS is at then...

I think people put too much thought into how player x performed at his previous club, some people seem to assume that's the maximum the player can achieve and he's therefore a downgrade on the player we sold. But when we got Mane, was he seen as a Lallana replacement at the time? I think not, in fact I seem to remember all sorts of crap being spouted such as ''non league trash'' ''sell him straight away'' etc etc. People are underestimating how much our club improves players, if the raw tools are there then we seem pretty good at molding a damn fine player out of it - which is what I see with Redmond. So whilst on paper people see it as a downgrade as he's not as good as Mane, then in a year or so time you'll be wondering what you were worried about. For what it's worth, there is no way we can afford to sign a finished product at the same level as Mane - we will develop another one again to a similar, or even higher level.

This thread is just an identical replica of the threads from last summer, the summer before etc etc. Then it all went quiet after September as we did actually do the business people were panicking we wouldn't. Stop panicking, there's a world out there and plenty more to worry about.

Yeah, if he gets injured they're left with.........Wickham. Enough said. He'll get goals there, but I just feel that much money could be spent so much better elsewhere. They'll need to replace Bolasie though, or the service will be lacking.

I don't think Benteke is that good to be honest, not sure I'd be too happy to see us splash that sort of money on him. That might just be me though. He's not a bad player, but for us to spend £27m you'd need a proper game changing player - I don't think he is.

Just so I'm up with the latest movements on here, are we at the stage where we're jealous of palace again?

He got injured on his debut v Chelsea, 2nd half I think.

Yeah, just saw that. He's also got the AfCON in January, and it's apparentley at 'least' 4 months - Some west ham fans aren't expecting to see him again this season. This will have a bit of a knock on effect......WHU will not let Sakho go now, so WBA won't get him. so Berahino stays there...

15th sept.

I think he's generally just a quiet shy guy, and having a camera stuck in his face isn't really his forte. Some managers are all for the camera and are ''hollywood' as sky would put it, but some are much more reserved and quiet. I don't particulary think he's a dour or boring person, just shy and reserved in front of millions of people.

Yeah, but what if we can't spend the money we have recouped in sales, as it's earmarked to pay off debt? just putting that out there. (not that i know)

lol.

Maybe I can get you banned as well, that would top off my summer.

I think it says that people have woken up to your WUM act. Now jog on.

Thank **** Alpine has posted, now we can look forward to the new season with optimism.

Isn't that a bit OTT? Forster, Cedric, VVD, Davis, JWP, Tadic, Long.....all pretty much regular starts last year.

They want Jonas Hector as their left back. Ryan isn't going anywhere this summer, and if he did, it would be for ludicrous sums of money due to his freshly signed contract.
