Yeah like when I said we were #nailedon to finish above Man Utd as they announced their amazing Pogba and Ibrah signings How did that turn out?
Did you predict them winning 2 pots as well like? Shall I vault you on your other stonking predictions then mate? I seem to remember you claiming that WBA would finish ahead of us for a start off
I only put money down on the Man Utd one though £20 charity bet on Everton finishing higher than 7th?
Everton will be the great unknown next year. Some serious cash will be spent but they will (probably) lose the source of 70% of their goals. That's hard to replace in anyone's eyes.

He scored 40% of our league goals, but yes he will take some replacing, which is why we're trying to add goals in other areas, as well as replacing him.
Yeah, sorry, was generalising to make a point.....With assists he's probably a hand in over half your goals....which is were I was coming from. It's much harder to change the entire team play that was geared towards him and his strengths. Am not saying it's impossible but Ronny K will have to prove his worth this season.
Im sure City were concerned spending £50m on a guy Chelsea got rid of for not much in De Bruyne. Same could even be said for Lukaku. Btw it's £34m
Maybe the point I was making is that the price is relatively meaningless.....it's the contribution they make to the team that is all that ultimately matters.... So, let's see what happens, I'm happy with our business
Well pickfords contribution was the concede shed loads and get relegated while keanes was to shed quite a few and finish just outside relegation And if you're talking contribution and taking a dig at Salah then bit stupid given In the league he got 15 goals and 11 assists last year and 14 goals, 6 assists the league before. Those numbers pretty much dwarf every wide player on the Prem
Still can't get over the borini signing. Milan have bought incredibly well this year ... and then sign borini.
But you expect the contribution of these record-breaking signings to be no improvement in league position
Only he didn't score those goals in the PL...... I didn't have a dig at him either btw, you're seeing things again
