I haven't seen enough from him to be particularly fussed whether he stays or gets moved on. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the suggestion that Big Ron wants him here, but is supposedly being overruled by the transfer committee. Koeman knows the player and must rate him if he wants to keep him here.

Fair old signing, that. He did well at Croatia, excellent win ratio.

That is genuinely funny, but tbh, he'd do a job for them. First off, get shot of brenda...

Fixed

He doesn't come across as a balotelli or osvaldo type of character. Seems pretty well grounded. If we could manage to get him it be an absolutely cracking signing, and £15m wouldn't be any more than the going rate for prem strikers these days. I'd love to see him here.

Its just occurred to me. She couldn't actually be passing that, could she?

= :poundit:

To be fair to our gun-happy transatlantic cousin, we have had our own "shoot first, ask questions later" incidents here, for example, when Jean Charles de Menezes got gunned down at Stockwell tube station. However, that sparked a wave of public revulsion, rather than the usual US response to similar incidents which is invariably to call for more people to carry guns in the interests of self protection.

True. Whatever happened to that guy who regularly trolled this site? The skate one? Can't even remember his name now, canteen something iirc.

To be fair, what the f*ck would he find to talk about on a watford forum? He might as well stalk here as anywhere else.

That's the only way any of us are going to afford a drink in Basel.

I'd love to believe that, but I don't. If he doesn't go to arsenal he'll go somewhere else, and I'd rather see him go abroad than to a prem team (please..... not spurs or the dippers...)

Do the Friday market on avenida habaneras, and the Sunday morning one on the montecino road just outside the town; that way, you can grab a woodsmoked BBQ takeaway afterwards, or better yet go a few hundred yards down the montecino road to Manuel's for the best paella you will ever eat. La Mata beach is great, but its worth a walk round the bay to the Casa del jamon for their lunchtime special.

To be fair to Elia, he supplied three points against the toon. As for Djuricic I've got to agree. Very tidy player, I'd be pleased if we got him on a permanent, been impressed every time I've seen him. The Gaston thing I just don't understand at all. We weren't the only club after him when he signed, and there was the lawro sneering we all remember, so why have two managers pretty much ignored him? iirc he was a first choice starter for uruguay, surely we must have seen something in him to fork out the fee/wages? (That said, I don't get the Osvaldo signing either.)

Indeed. Looking at the above, we'll have an entire new squad by next season

Not sure I agree with that, although I can see the logic. Seems to me that having Forster out meant that we had to set the midfield and back line up more defensively, and that lead to less of a goal threat at the other end. How often were we saying that Pellè was isolated up front with no runners to lay off to?

Or begovich scoring from a long rang clearance.

Its a pointless referendum. It would have some context if there were additional questions, such as "should the UK continue its opt out of the eurozone", " should net migration be limited to x000", but the simple question to stay in or get out is pointless.

Good read, that. I particularly enjoyed the predictions of RK for first manager to be sacked, and the Sterling comments are now utterly hilarious.

Let's not jump the gun here with the klopp rumours. After all, allardyce is available.

He's got to be off now, surely. After that reaming? By f*cking stoke???? I really don't see him surviving there.

This. I thought we put up a terrific performance against the 2nd best side in the country.

I remember Jim Steele well, but don't recall this mistake he made at all. What happened? Whatever it was, surely he doesn't need to beat himself up about it? All I remember was a terrific defender. One mistake shouldn't be haunting him.
