Another mistake by NC, I'd have thought. But nope, let's join in the bandwaggon. Those Gaza airstrikes, must be the bloody boards fault.

Why do we always downgrade players once they've left? The fact is we will not replace them with anyone near their ability at this present time, the replacements may become as influential as the players that have left, but that will take time and patience. It reminds me back to when we sold Bale, who has since gone onto become a mega-star. ''We can do better than him, we can replace him with Andrew Surman - he can play at LB''. Same as Oxo, easily replaced by De Ridder or something. We've lost tremendous players, there's no way of polishing that up as any sort of positive. We have lost tremendous players who we will struggle to replace. That is the sad story.

He's a class act, maybe he's a complete ****-beard, but he's a class act. He is at the UCL and international level - that's where he will be playing. He's more than good enough. The fact Roy didn't pick him is down to his ineptness as a manager, he should have been starting in every game at the WC.

At the moment, it's teetering on the edge of being the worst ever transfer window for us, in my lifetime. But it could turn out to be OK in the end and we sort a competitive team out. Don't think we'll ever look back on this as the best ever though, very frustrating and ultimately draining.

I don't ever remember him saying anything like that at all. Is this another example of people making things up, so their points look more dramatic?

When will you sign in with your other account, so you can argue the points you've just made? Always interesting to see what your other half feels.

He's just setting out his mind-games position ahead of the new season. Fact is that he speaks **** to rile people, he used to be good at it, but is now painfully predictable.

Just posted that above Dubai

Forster will happen, and for one he is the keeper I've wanted for a while. Good player, experienced at the very highest level.

Would imagine it'll be confirmed on Monday, along with Chambers.

To be honest, it means nothing really. We said we wanted 25m for Lovren, £30m for Lallana, £40m for Shaw. We'll probably get £15m or so for him.

If we spread the 'replacing of players' to the January transfer window, we will be relegated before we even get there. I'm sure we'll get them, but we need to replace all we've lost and add some squad players before the end of THIS window, otherwise we are in severe danger.

He does actually look the real deal. I really hope he's given the chance there and isn't shipped out on loan every year. I think he could be one of the best to come out of their for decades.

It's not 16m though. Will be a long time, if ever, that we actually see anywhere near that. Apparently it's around £4m up front, further £4m next year, and the rest on league wins, league apps, cup wins, international apps and CL apps. It looks a lot, but is actually very heavily based around achievements.

PM please......I do miss these good old PM rounds.

Injured on 1 minute. Out for the decade.

Lallana got 2, Lambert got 10 and Lovren got 8. But Pelle Scored 21 FT - L'Pool 20 - 21 Southampton

Nice one Hans, along with Ralf - utter clueless. After his ''difficult'' financial situations comments, he leaves a lot to be desired. but based on that interview, we should be spending £60m, as we didn't actually need that money anyway.

Please provide some positive news. Is Rojo a possibility?

Sell him.

I think he put Chamberlains in the bin. Oh.

It's hard to read too much into it yet, but he has a good touch and moves around the field well - looks nice and mobile. As above, he got no real service though. Tadic was the only bright spark in terms of a creative influence from the flanks. That cross he put in for Isgrove was a damn peach.

You are a complete weirdo.

1st week of August I think the finalists return to their clubs, may be wrong. Also worth noting that Guan said another 5/6, but the 6th will depend on the quality of the 5th - or along those lines. And seeing as Rojo can play left sided CB, as well as LB...we may be getting 2 players in 1. Who knows.
