Yeah, wasn't working for me first thing. Just as i'd paid for it...typical! But it seems to be back up now, got all the streams showing.

I've heard a lot about that Traore guy in terms of potential, but not really seen him play. Will be interesting to see how he does. I love Barca and their ''buy back clauses''. It's basically a glorified loan deal, and if he turns into a world beater, they get him back!

I've just got a Fire TV stick myself, and it allowed me to sideload the app 'behind the scenes'' http://www.tweaking4all.com/home-theatre/xbmc/kodi-on-amazon-fire-tv/ check this out. Adding Sportsmania is another step, but not too fiddly. Pretty flawless to be honest, will be interesting to see how it works on a match day in a few weeks.

2-1

1-1

But not as bad as the ''Has Skacel signed yet?'' jokes.

Not injury prone really, he's just had a really bad knee injury in his career. That's all.

Well, he's had 2 very bad knee injuries in his career so far. I imagine there are all sorts of clauses, like after so many games it gets extended, or there's an option to extend in the last year etc. It's just being careful I guess, as if the unlikely event occurs and he picks up another very bad knee injury, we haven't got him for 5 odd years.

Chelsea Football Club has agreed terms with Southampton for the permanent transfer of Oriol Romeu. The 23-year-old joins the Saints after four years as a Chelsea player in which he made 33 appearances, scoring once from the penalty spot against Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2012. We thank Oriol for his service and wish him luck for his future career.

That was quick.

A massive loss to fans on match day.

Good player, he was played quite a bit under Vias-Boas iirc, but then he had that nasty knee injury and never really came back to Chelsea's first team. I don't think he was too bad for them when he played, he became a constant. Always seemed to put in a good shift. He came to chelsea with a huge reputation and has had a very successful loan spell in Germany. This is a good value deal and adds immense depth to the squad.

ITK scoops from Steve are very rare, so this looks very positive.

Like Morgan, Lallana and Rickie did then? You can tell he's a PL player by watching him, if there's one criticism it's that he can be a bit casual - but that's fixable. He's got all the tools for sure. Big Vic stood out at Celtic, so did Fraser, and they're both terrific players for us.

Thought I'd check the Celtic forums to see what they think - and they speak of him in the same way as we spoke of Morgan. To impress at a club as big as Celtic, the way he has done, shows what an insane talent he is. They all believe that he can become one of the best CB's in European football - big call. But I also came across our old friend MLG trying to ram pointless facts down their throats, about how we were never in admin or something.

This time last summer, we didn't have Mane or Toby. There were still doubts over Morgan's future. So you could say we are in a better position this year than we were at this point last year, but I won't let that stop Alpines embarrassing yearly-rants.

4-4, crazy game.

This thread is a good laugh from a couple of windows ago: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?45614-Are-we-wasting-time-going-for-unrealistic-transfer-targets Full of Alpine wisdom. Why oh why has a club not employed him?

Wenger isn't going to go out and sign a CM, he's too stubborn to admit defeat.

There really is no chance in this one, way too high profile - and expensive. He'd probably set us back £30m + including wages.

He improved massively last year, was very, very good for them. He went to Sevilla in the end, their replacement for the polish fella who is coming here.....maybe....i wish...

Celtic could be set to revive their interest in Club Brugge defender Brandon Mechele with speculation continuing to mount regarding the future of Virgil van Dijk, writes the Evening Times.

Lol. Comedy double act in the making right here.

City have been on song tonight, but WBA were abject. Their midfield is dross.
