Not replacing anyone, adding an extra option to our midfield that we have been desperately lacking.

Italian press reporting this one as a done deal. 18 million euros up front, 2 million in add ons.

Sounds like Stoke, Everton and West Ham amongst others wanted him too. Maybe, for once, we outbid the other teams. Also, reading the Stoke forum, they are having a shambolic transfer window. They haven't signed anyone, and the fans are getting restless.

2-0 home win!! They are going up, there's no stopping them. The other south coast clubs are shaking in fear, the sleeping giant is roaring back.

Lemina's already in England as Juventus are playing at Wembley tonight

I don't want to accuse people of bedwetting after the game on Wednesday, but...

Central midfielder! Player from a big club who perhaps hasn't made it and needs to kick on. Signs like our type of player. Get him on the bus.

Sevilla's team look very strong. They beat Arsenal last weekend at the Emirates. The result isn't that important, but hopefully there will be some improvement on Wednesday's shambles.

I agree, the league wasn't the most exciting, but last season had its exciting moments. 6 European games and a superb League Cup run. Neither ended the way we wanted it to but they were exciting, no?

I prefer our approach to West Ham's, for instance. However, we do need a defender, minimum. I'd also be in favour of shipping Clasie out and bringing in a new defensive midfielder. I don't think we'll bring one in without someone leaving though.

Yes, our first major cup final in 14 years was sooooooooooo boring.

Go easy on him, he's only 12 years old.

Are you thinking of the Brighton game? That ref is currently head of referees in America

Interesting snippet Pompey had to pay Portpin (Chainrai's company I believe) £125,000 this summer. They have to pay the same amount at the end of next season. And if they reach the Premier League, they have to pay them £2,000,000

He had a crap period, although the whole team did. Wasn't there a massive thread about him created after that defeat against Sheffield United?

He's on the panel which will review potential dives and hand out bans http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40831719

He's not an automatic starter, but when he does play i.e. coming off the bench or if we have injuries/suspensions
