    I really hope we can pull this off. Would be a major major signing.

    But where in the side does he fit. We don't really play with a traditional number 10. Seems unnecessary...

    no chance that we'll pay anything close to £32m for any player

    He'd probably work behind the striker in a 3-5-2, or we could tweak the 4-3-3 to allow for a freer central role. Ultimately really doesn't matter; spending that money on a single player is nuts unless you i) have no other positions of need or ii) have 100m burning a hole in your pocket. We don't really fit either category, and we aren't nuts, so yeah.

    Ron has already said that we are more interested in a loan. Perhaps won't suit his club, but 5 months in the PL won't harm the player.

    Strewth....... we are a jittery lot. I can understand why......We have taken a hiding over the years from the so called bigger clubs after our better players. After the **** we had to put up with at the end of the last season was enough to make any team jittery.
    It is up to the club to sort this out once and for all. I still get the impression the players think they have the upper hand as to the clubs dealings with the bigger clubs.
    As for RK if the club is true to its latest words on the subject " we are not a selling club" the same will apply to him and he will know that. Barca or any other club can go take a running jump. The only thing probably in his contract to be wary of is if his country comes a-callin'.

    The title of this piece really pisses me off....it says that Arsenal have good news having been given the green light to sign Morgan. Now reading that you might think they meant by Saints, but no they mean by Spurs pulling out of the pursuit. <steam> I guess this is an example of click bait...well, it worked.


    Second issue and this refers to so many people writing on the internet. A free rein is written REIN as in what you use to direct a horse.....a horse given a free rein can go where it likes. It is not REIGN as in what a king or queen does.<steam><steam><steam><steam>

    I saw an opportunity to do it without directly criticising someone on here....I generally resist that :) By the way....the way you spelt rein....:)

    An ellipsis is a generally weak syntactical structure.

    Well, he did say it...

    "I'm not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid," Allardyce said. "It wouldn't be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time. Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn't be a problem. It's not where I'm suited to, it's just where I've been for most of the time. It's not a problem to take me into the higher reaches of the Champions League or Premier League and [it] would make my job a lot easier in winning it."

    Koeman says the same as I was told. One more player coming in hopefully.

    Thought it was in euros not pounds, 32 mil euros is still a big chunk of change even when it has tanked over the last few weeks. Morgan is almost off in the summer, even if we get top 4 in my opinion, Quintero would be seen as the replacement

    Yeah. Why wait until the summer to get his replacement in, if you know Schneiderlin's leaving?

    Yeah and plus the fact Schneiderlin is a holding midfielder and Quintero is a attacking one.
