Is that a joke?

One of them Arab vapes.

Ahh, good. Makes sense!

Christ, I largely agree with Paul Merson.

Yeah, but they don't have any strikers so you could well see a team with at least four of those five in it meaning adding one more into the options probably wouldn't hurt.

Happily, there isn't an AFCON this season either.

With the rest of the Juventus squad? Edit - they played on Sat so if he came on his own afterwards then he's clearly signing for someone.

His second cousin has been viewing houses in Tunstall though

Hughes is always a miserable bastard but I take your point.

So, here we go then. I haven't been following other teams' transfers much over the summer so I've no idea what Swansea have been up to but hopefully we can get going with 3 points. I think it's pretty obvious what our starting eleven will be from MP's selections so far, for good or for worse. The only doubt I have is which two out of Boufal, Tadic and Redmond will get the nod. I predict a starting team of: ----------------------------Forster--------------------------- -Cedric Soares---Stephens-----Yoshida---------Bertrand ----------------------Romeu----Davis---------------------- -------Tadic----------Ward Prowse------------Redmond ---------------------------Gabbiadini--------------------- Bench: [GK], Pied, Bednarek, Hojbjerg/Clasie, Tadic/Boufal, Long / Gallagher, Austin I think it's unlikely that any new signing will start and presumably Virgil is still a non-option. I'd like to see Boufal given as much opportunity as possible but I reckon Redmond and Tadic might get the nod for having more mutually complimentary qualities. Decent enough options in the final third (and Sims to come in due course, hopefully) but, as everyone knows, centre back and centre mid are a concern. Throw a midfielder with a decent engine, a bit of height and an eye for pass into that squad, plus a Virgil, and there's no reason why we can't do another top 8.

Nike Air Max - check (black for smartness, big day after all). Alan Partridge Sports Jacket - check. Camo-slack-pants - youbetcha! Finished off with the timeless Gents classic combo of shirt, tie and baseball cap. Let's go get me some franchise!

He punched someone in the nuts once.

Exactly. He got assists in his first two matches and scored goals in his early games. The whole team was **** against Sheff U The people slagging Mane off were wrong and stupid.

He's the chief ignoramus.

He didn't. He was class in his first few games. The people writing him off were ignorant.

Lesbians... two sisters probably.

Has he?

Well you're just fundamentally wrong on point a), everyone else knows that.

Haha, indeed!

Well, there's literally no point sacking him so it doesn't matter.

He should have thought about that when he signed a new contract. He could have insisted on a release clause or not signed it. Don't begrudge him wanting to leave but do begrudge his unprofessionalisn.

Interesting and sounds encouraging.

The reality of dithering about in the lower bowels of the league has foisted some contrition upon him, it seems. Don't give him too much credit though. He's historically come across as a proper ****.

Koeman would have left this summer anyway so that's bull, I'm afraid.
