    You are aware that Vicente Iborra was the Sevilla captain during the 3 seasons that they won the Europa League final on the trot? ... he's a better technical foorballer than Fellaini by some distance ... but it's all about opinions <ok>

    Until exactly the point at which Arsenal are in a position to 'celebrate' it. At which point it will become embarrassing and cringeworthy.

  5. That’s a bit like asking “how long is a piece of string?”

    For a club like Spurs, which is only the sixth richest in the Prem, to finish 3rd, 4th or 5th should be considered a success.

    Naturally, us fans want more than that, but that is the nature of the game.

    HIAG mate you're not fat. Don't listen to these #bullies

    @luvgonzo

    Even if you were who gives a ****? I'm hardly a supermodel but couldn't give 2 ****s what a bunch of geezers think on a football forum.

    I am pretty hot though, admittedly.

  7. Cheers, Bro.

    Last week my drummer asked me why I wasn’t going for a pint, and when I told him that I wanted to lose 4 stone he said, “There’ll be nothing left of you!”

    I’m overweight, for sure, but not clinically obese. I would benefit from some conditioning.

    I was just winding fosse up but i got you instead <laugh>

    Ndidi is the DM/CM who is pretty athletic and covers the ground. Technically okay but great in the tackle. Felleini won't take his spot on that as i don't think he's a dm.

    Iborra is the muscle and is pretty good at passing but he's not that dynamic. I actually think he's more suited to a DM role as well but not bad as a CM.

    Silva i think is neat tidy passer on the ball and moves it on well. Not sure about his creativity and seems a bit powderpuff. The sort of player whos intelligent (because he isn't all muscle), gets around a bit, keeps the ball well and moves it on but i can't really say when i've seen him play he makes the killer pass. I'm thinking more Joe Allen than phillip coutinho.

    Choudhury, never seen really.

    Where would Felleini fit in, well he's a big lump, provides some physicality, will win plenty of balls in the air and hold it up and chest it down. Might be a perfect foil for Vardy when you think about it (although okazakis great, different foils).

    Would he be your 2nd best midfielder? not sure but they are all different options and it depends what sort of tactics you want to go. I think he'd have a good chance of making the first 11 though and i think Ndidi only makes it because he's the only one who can really get about the pitch and put tackles in.

    Tbf I just wanted to post a picture of Choudhurys hair <laugh>
    You make a good summary actually, on silva I think a proper pre season maybe help him with him strength and fitness for this league. No doubting his technical ability but then he may not be the first technically good player to not make it here so time will tell. Ndidi will only get better. Choudhury has captained the u23’s to the top 2 of the youth premier league (premier league 2 I think they call it)

    Been very good for us in his first season ... excellent in the air, good passer ... not the quickest but that's OK with younger players around him ... doubt any Leicester fans would take Felaini over him ...

    ... and we have better players currently out on loan than Benteke <ok>

    So you have no real ambition of finishing above 3rd then?

  16. You must have missed this line from my post, Tel:-

    "Naturally, us fans want more than that, but that is the nature of the game."

    **** ups always happen when you wum in haste, young Terence. You need only to look at Pixie to appreciate that.
