Doubt he's done enough at Hull for them to want to buy him, he's generally as ineffective there as he was for us. Talented, but not suited to English football. I read some rumors that he's looking to go back to South America in the summer for a cut price, but I doubt he's staying in England.

I wouldn't go near either of the loanies tbh, they've done nothing. Got a feeling we'll keep Elia though, just have a hunch that Koeman really likes him.

Who knows. He will be kept on in some capacity though.

Kelvin will be here forever tbh. When his contract is up, I can imagine he'll become part of the backroom. He's not going to leave. Davis is a good player, maybe his time as a starter will reduce, but you won't have too much better squad backup than him. With Europe (possibly) next season, we need to be retaining the likes of Long and Davis.

I don't think we can to be honest, as I'm sure there is a deadline to register your squad - and as Artur hasn't been in our squad this year, he's not going to be registered. Also, I can't see how he would even want to come back into the fold. He made his feelings pretty clear, at the end of the day it's 4 games and we have to stick with Davis.

They're going to waste a lot of time this summer on Depay, who will end up going to a CL club. And then they'll pickup someone like Boalsie for stupid money instead.

Yeah, our system is clearly much more advanced than Real Madrid's.

But it's no worries, he's not good enough for us anyway, apparently. Can't believe some fans turned their noses up at him.

Morgan V Newcastle.

Chelsea had no intention of winning that game at any point. Their plan was to kill that game from the off.

Cesc's mask slipped a bit.

Any 'top' game which has Chelsea involved is an utter bore fest.

But we did. The fee's for Lallana Shaw, Lovren, Chambers will be on installments - we didn't have 90m to spend. And also you have to take into account wages...signing on fee's...agent fee's.....and given that our wage bill is higher this year, then I think it's fair to assume that we reinvested most, if not all, of what we received in the summer.

Yeah, bloody Koeman. Useless manager, absolutely hopeless. You do come across a bit mad tbh.

Jammat would really be a huge signing for us, such a class player. Newcastle fans rave about him, when given their season, says a lot!

He switched off for that goal, yes, but generally he had a very solid game. He's come on leaps and bounds this year, his distribution as a left sided centre back is top quality these days. Really impressed with how he's maturing. I can't think of too many clubs at our level who have a 3rd centre back as good as him.

To be fair, there were a few occasions yesterday where he wasn't even touched.

Great achievement. Good move by the club in the summer, but an even more shrewd move to get his permanent deal signed up when we did. We could have had a nervy wait this summer if we hadn't. As I said on another thread, the biggest compliment you can pay to Bertrand is that we haven't missed Shaw a single jot.

Did he actually say that?

Javier de Pedro CDAJFU

Personally I think you've read that wrong. I think what the article is trying to suggest is that they hope that now they can unearth similar players to Mane in similar leagues, which at the time are kind of unknown and there isn't a huge clamor.

Or he's Ronald Koeman.

I look at At.Madrid though and I see Godin and Miranda, their first choice - 2 terrific centre backs in their prime. Then they have Gimenez, who is a 20 something CB - massively highly rated. Unless they lose 2 CB's in the summer, I can't see Toby going back there to be a first choice centre back for them. So yes, maybe they do want him back as he's a terrific player to have as part of their squad, but does Toby want to be a squad player anymore? I imagine his ambition is to be a first choice player, and he'd get that here every week. It's not as clear cut as it sounds. It won't be easy to get him, but I think we're making any decision he has to make very difficult.

That's one thing that does annoy about his game at times, he tries to do the extravagant stuff at the wrong times in the wrong places. That was a criminal give away.
