    Vicente Iborra for 13m is fairly ridiculous in this market. I reckon he'll be a sensational signing for us.

    Flop so far, in my opinion, is Lukaku.

    I don't see him getting 20 goals next season and anything under 25 will be a fairly poor return on 75m.

    Shout out to Roque Mesa btw. Swansea have got themselves a cracking little player.

    It will be interesting to see Lukaku playing for a team who has the majority of the ball as he , until now, looked good playing for teams who mainly play on the counter attack .
    Still expect him to get 20+ goals though since he has £9,000,000,000 worth of midfielders to supply him :bandit:

    Designed in Chicago, assembled in Texas. My phone is definitely a yank. Although Google sold Motorola to Lenovo, so my phone's adopted parents are Chinese.

    Yes. And ended... You missed it... Finally we were right it was our year.

    Your team got relegated. Sorry. To be fair, the 50 point penalty for Jose whacking a referee with his naked penis was probably a bit harsh.

    He was a steal due to his ridiculously low buy out clause, and I hope you're proved right <ok>

    No, the transfer window hasn't closed yet.

    So how is Lukaku a flop so far?

    Leicester fans talking about Lukaku flopping, after they dished up £40m for Ahmed Musa and Islam Slimani.

    Islam and Ahmed ffs, sounds like you're trying to open a Halal butchers not score goals.

    What are you on about?

    This thread is about who you think will be the flop of the season. So far (seeing as we're about half way through the window) I think it will be Lukaku.

    Forget it.

    It's there in black and white what you said.

    Funny eh, that what actually gets written stays there, regardless of how people try to ****ing twist it.

    It was a toss-up between him and Lacazette. The extra 20m swung it.

    28m last season for Slimani (even though his goal per minute ratio is fairly decent) was an abysmal transfer, Musa for 14m isn't much better. The good thing is I'd expect to get our money back if we were to sell. Our transfer window last summer, in comparison to the rest of the league, was comfortably the worst. Every other club improved their squad.

    Thanks for not mentioning Mendy for 12m <ok>


    Yep, he's definitely one to keep an eye on.
