    I thought Thursdays were the new Fridays?

    Or is that Wednesday?

    I'm lost now...

    Like I say I've seen a few Sociedad games and he always seems to drift out of the CF position and press out wide. He certainly starts as a CF though and can occupy the CB's with his movement, freaking RAPID chasing down through balls and good work rate but my one worry would be I think he's probably a bit young/weak to play as a lone CF in the EPL so I'd personally use him as a inside forward cutting in (or alongside Wilson but that'd mean changing formation which won't happen) or if we are going to play him as a out and out CF coming on to replace Wilson once he's battered CB's for 60-70mins and they are knackered.

    Don't worry about it, I've been lost for years and it's not done me any harm, I think.

    And what was scary about that it was an 8 year contract.

    I don’t think we will sign anyone. I think this is it.

    The current squad is good enough for the next season tbh, but 1 or 2 big ones and it'll be exciting

    I agree. We will be absolutely fine this season. It will be nice to see if they can break top 8 which is doable.

    So Chelsea are apparently ready to hijack the De Jong to Man Utd deal as well as looking at Auba and Fofana

    Not sure how much Auba would cost them but £72m for De Jong, £80m for Fofana plus the £150m they’ve spent already…how the **** is that allowed under FFP if it happens or am I missing something?

    Yeah, you're missing the fact the club (Chelsea) didn't generate a penny for the last 6 months <whistle>

    If this happens I’m attending Fenwick’s window for a good arse showing.

    Not mine I might add.

    Been ****ing ages since we actually signed someone. No idea why we seem to need to announce we’re about to bid. The cynic in me wonders if it’s more “look what we tried to do”.
