    Don't get me wrong, there's no party going on at Chez Laces right now, by any stretch, but I don't think he'd be **** for us. Not a great signing though, no. But who knows.

    Nah thats Boston. Long's missus is right though, they should make the northbound crossing free on the bridge. The only people who pay to go that way are ones that have to use it for work or to get to work/home :)

    Really, in losing Cortese and Pochettino? In selling players he's never worked with?

    If he comes in, plays against Liverpool and breaks Lovren's jaw.... then he's worth every bloody penny.

    Slightly less optimistic now the fee is even larger than I anticipated. Although, I guess if it's £11 million for Ross McCormack then £12 million for a proven premier league player is the rate to pay.

    Christ.

    20m on Pelle and Long.

    Football is just ridiculous at the moment.

    They both resigned. Cortese walked because his unsustainable spending was going to be curtailed, and Judas went because he's Judas.

    We were pretty ****ing near breakeven on the back of his "unsustainable spending". I mean, if people are going to keep repeating this as gospel truth, our '12/'13 finances are publicly available.

    I think Pelle and Long will work well together, but with that 12 million we could have got Ings.

    If only we could spend more sensibly these days. Like spending £12m on ****ty relegation battle level strikers.

    Yeah.

    Buying a monster of a defensive midfielder for £12m? Unsustainable!
    Buying an average striker for £12m? Prudent!
