    That squad might well struggle. I don't see us finishing above 15th.

    If we were offered 15th now, I'd take it quite happily

    I'd take it very happily, because I've not very much interest in watching us play 7 at the back all season to squeak through to 15th.

    Can see why Rafa's so flipped off. Don't think he thought we'd be going into this season naming Hanley, Colback, Saivet and Haidara in the squad. Survival will be miraculous. I just hope we don't get utterly battered on Sunday.

    If gamez gets injured again can we just retire the 27 shirt or give it to colback so he doesn't play!

    You'd rather we played 7 up top and finish 20th?

    Agreed.
    We should go spend £100m on 4 players.

    According to Twitter...

    Seems about right.
    Four decent players.
    What's a £100m in the grand scheme of things.

    I thought the Chronny said we had 100m plus sales? So I think 120m is realistic. Mike has it in his back pocket for sure.

    Gonna be a tough old season - it will make our European qualification all the sweeter

    Good job we turned down the £20M bid from PSG for Haidara!

    I think you probably have misread that rumour which was reported in the Vietnamise newspaper the Báo Đảng as the 20M referred to was actually in Vietnamise Dong.
