That's simply horrific.

They're still in a different league to us, wouldn't say they're only slightly better at all.

So, to your understanding, we've now decided to push ahead with this quite quickly? Do you know if it will be a loan or an outright buy? Hope you're enjoying your retirement....

That's a very fair and valid point, but hopefully our new £15m attacker will go some way to altering that stat!

Without a picture, no one will contact you.

Won't happen.

Unfortunately that shirt doesn't look any better any time i see it! Even he doesn't improve it!

I think Poch also decided he wasn't good enough. Have a look at the stats from last year, he didn't fit in with what Poch was doing with the side. I think this move will open the door for another incoming as well.

I think that surprised most. Our first PL game at St Mary's for 7 years.... Think it even got a mention on MOTD.

Umm, ok. I think most people would agree with what I said. We're signing players at the level of Osvaldo, Lovren and Wanyama. They are many levels above Puncheon. We are building a team which will surpass his ability. That's no disrespect to Puncheon, but he's not a world beater and the plan is for us to do a lot better.

Would have thought the Barnsley team will look something like this.... Davis Chambers - Jos - Fonte - Fox JWP - Davis - Cork Mayuka Isgrove Rodriguez Subs - Gazzaniga, Gaston, Maya, Rowe, Guly, Osvaldo, Lallana

It was an odd one, but if you look at his appearances following Poch's arrival...they slowly and steadily decreased. After being a nailed on starter for Adkins, he was reduced to a bit part player towards the end of last season. So looking it it like that, I don't think Poch ever fancied him as much as Adkins did. Good player, but not at the level we want. Hence why he's gone to Palace, and they're also not our rivals.

Yeah, I can agree with that. You're still posting for one.

I don't harass you, it wasn't meant as an attack either. You just post some crazy stuff!

Not sure why, it's true! He's a nutter, every post he makes I'm sat here with a great big ''WTF'' face.

They wanted him, they signed him on OUR terms. We dictated that transfer, not them. They could have easily walked away if they wanted, but they agreed to it - so more fool them. Nice to see Wenger is helping him fulfill his potential as well.

I'm slightly confused by it, but it's certainly not a move to promote ''Rage'' and ''Anger'' from me, and not too many others I wouldn't have thought. Calm down.

ART, you are a complete and utter lunatic.

Can't see us letting him go without getting someone in, can only assume there has been movement in the last 48 hours with regards to an incoming wide player. Otherwise this just weakens us in an area I felt we were already quite weak in.

They look absolutely shambolic to be honest. Fair to say that City are very fluid tonight, but you've got to try and show some discipline and keep some sort of shape. There's nothing going on out there, even when they attack it's bereft of any ideas.

Bit of a poor attitude if that's the case. It's now up to him to step up and prove that he still has a massive role to play. Squads will always evolve, whichever club you're at, it's just up to you to keep forcing your way back in. If I'm honest, I don't think he's the sort of player to react like that. I hope he's knuckling down to try and win his place back.

and a great big lol @ redknapp to go with that.

Well, that was well done.

They've been looking for houses for 3 months. Interesting. Obviously been looking to move to the UK for quite some time.
