So are we signing this plate smasher?

But this entirely based on the idea that all the rumours regarding transfers are true. What makes you think we don’t get deals over the line?

Do these guesses include the warm up?

I’m usually firmly in the ‘calm down’ camp, but even I’ll admit that was utter crap. Outplayed in every position. Conceded three goals but - perhaps even more concerningly - look like we’d never score in a million years.

Well, all the whinging old gits who complained that our possession-based, passing game last season was boring must be absolutely delighted. This team can’t string more than two passes together.

Why is the Techno Viking operating the substitute board?

We should sign that Papy Mendy, he looks outstanding.

Take the dog out for a quick walk and we concede three goals. I don’t even want to know.

Now you’re talking. Yes please.

I basically didn’t sleep properly until a couple of years ago. I used to go to bed post midnight every night, sometimes struggle to get to sleep for hours after that and not want to get up at a decent time ever. One of my problems was Restless Legs Syndrome, which kept me awake most of the time. Now I take a medication for it, which lets me sleep properly. Coupled with the fact I have changed career and now start very early mornings, I have definitely gone full 360 on the morning/evening person thing.

Nobody should be spending megabucks on a player from the scotch league. Too much of a risk.

Yeah, why not.

Jealous of West Ham signing Fullkrüg.

Call me old skool, but I like strikers who score lots of goals.

You lot are so pissy. Of course we have a plan.

If we sign this guy I’ll eat my hat, though it sounds like he already has.

It would be a useful exercise for somebody who has a bit of time ok their hands to trudge back through Transfer Talk and see who first broke the news of all of our confirmed signings / outgoings for the last few years.

I love how much of a clown Ten Hag is, it’s so funny. That guy is a worse judge of a player than Peter Taylor.

I don’t think the Maresca/Chelsea thing is as ridiculous as people are people are making out. They have an extraordinarily expensive squad of mercenary waste man with no direction. They are crying out for someone to actually tell the overpaid clowns how they need to be playing. If they can’t adapt to his style, he’ll find other players in their squad of 90 who can do the job.

Has this bloke ever had a good season? Seems to just bounce around Prem clubs collecting wages.

Feel like a right dork for caving in and going mobile now.

Maresca’s system will take a bit of getting used to for Chelsea. They don’t have the quality of players we do.

I wouldn’t read too much into who’s playing in the pre season games. Often they’re a shop window. We’ve potentially had people looking at Ward.

By Arsenal FC?

As long as we don’t have our pants pulled down.
