    Jesus Navas has the worst end product I've seen at this level, full stop. You'll be hard pushed to find a City fan that will argue with that as well.

    If you could poach one player for Sunderland you'd need somebody that could change your whole team, with his presence and ability, like...

    Zlatan

    NGolo Kante

    Vincent Kompany (if he could stay fit)

    Don;t be silly - he'd move Januzaj up front and drop defoe so De Bruyne could play

    Glad to see a mag saying this!! My mother asked why we didn;t try to sign him when you lot did - I said "cos he's rubbish and we needed a PL striker"

    Gayle - will work in the championship - as will Murphy if given a chance, not good enough for the Prem though

    Gayle will do ok if he's given the service and confidence I reckon. I wouldn't judge him on what the likes of Pulis and Pardew have got out of him in the prem. They'll need another striker as well but he'd be a decent option for them, they're not gonna get Dybala or Lewandowski... knowing the toon fans they'll be clamouring for Ba to come back, they need to move on.

    I like him, he's a United legend for the brace he got in that 3-3 that effectively ended Brenda's Boys title challenge a few years ago <laugh>

    Thats why I thought he'd be good cover for Watmore Tel! Maybe Moyes could mould Navas into a decent all round winger given time. Koscielny best fairly realistic shout so far. Like that idea.

    I'm not sure that's remotely realistic, he's one of the best centre halves around... somebody said James McCarthy, that'd be perfect for you I reckon, if we have to be realistic, although Comm didn't say that.

    Being realistic is no fun, if we're being realistic then we should only be looking at free agents and the cheapest players in the league.

    What's up Rog? Still got a bee in your bonnet
    He's awful IMO.

    Runs to the byline and hits the first man every time. No end product whatsoever.

    Fair dos mate, I'm going Kante then for fantasy (would be welcome in any squad) and Snodgrass realistically, by which I mean if we had any money at all haha!

    A midfielder who can work the final third and consistently put the ball where it`s needed. That`s all. It`s not too much to ask.

    I don`t care who it is. Anybody will do.

    Coutinho.

    As for Navas, I've said it before, I have never seen a footballer (including Sunday mornings) who just runs towards a full back and then turns and passes it back, every single ****ing time! He is sh!te.

    Koscielney signed a new deal with Arsenal so not up for a new challenge by the looks of it :)

    It'd be funny to try for a game, imagine the amount of hate from the crowd as you lost the ball for the 5th time in a row.

    Check twitter when you get home, 'That number 83 what a useless ****, I hope his cock falls off and he's forced to eat it to stay alive'.
