Skills!

What a bizarre reaction. Lost for words to be honest.

I don't think anyone has ever said that what so ever. Stop trying to twist your way out of your ramblings. The general consensus is that signings can be made from when the window opens, up until the end of august. However, as we have seen in most seasons, the majority of business occurs at the back end of August. No one has ever said that deals MUST be done in late august.

Papa Waigo Gaston Guly Boruc - Fiorentina I can't think of a 5th!!!

Not sure where you watched it. Heard a few mentions of Yoshida, Southampton, and that he had a pretty good first debut season in the PL etc.

That's exactly what I thought...I swear he's never distributed the ball as well for us, as he has tonight! I think he's had a pretty good game to be honest. Looks very comfortable at that level

Here he is, taking the **** out of Barcelona's midfield.

And the Gaston story last year.

He's a champions league level player. We're not a champions league level club. (yet..)

Banega would be a simply stunning addition for a club like us.

Would be a shame to see Fonte go, but if he does i guess we can be assured we'll get another CB for sure.

Do you have any sort of opinion then?

Boruc

Yep, very much filed in the scrap heap.

Obviously you're far more up on french footie than most of us...! What sort of CB is he? better than what we have? or just one for the future?

lol @ the over-reactions as normal. Seriously, people, go and have a holiday or something.

Let's judge a player on one game.

I think the PS4 is a clear winner here, the fact that it's cheaper allows them to win hands down in my opinion. Technically the console is much much better. At the end of the day, the pitch for the XBOX was all about having a home media centre. What if I already have one? What if I already have a smart TV? It renders all those ''big'' features utterly pointless and not worth paying the money for. The PS4 have got it right in terms of gaming, at the end of the day...that's what this is for.

I personally think he will make more of an impact next year, not necessarily from the start, but I see him turning into a bit of a game-changing sub for us. He'd be a class loan for any championship side though, and if it comes to that, we'd be able to get him regular games pretty easily.

I'm very pleased that Shaw didn't end up with this rabble. Awful disorganized mess.

For some odd reason I've been rejected for the Zebra finance deal, even though I had the installment plan last year and I'm in a slightly better financial position this year. Weird. Will have to call them to clarify.

Pre-season is usually about 6 weeks, would imagine things will kick into life pre-season style early July.

Why haven't we signed anyone yet FFS? We don't even know who we're playing next year, but we sitll haven't signed anyone FFS! good comedy posts i've just caught up on for today. Back on topic, Douglas is a good shout - although correct me if I'm wrong, is he a bit injury prone? He was close to WHU last summer, but they went with James Collins instead......might be thinking of someone else though, but there's obviously a reason they've not renewed his contract...as he's not a bad player.

Firstly, why would they sell him, and secondly, why on earth would he even consider coming to us? He'd have the biggest clubs in world football at his finger tips. We wouldn't even calculate in his brain.

One of the best young players in the world, basically. All the top clubs want him. City, United, Madrid, Barca - all been scouting him regularly.
