She looks like she definately does psychic readings out of the kitchen of her semi-detached council house after realising she had the "gift" when her taxi driver husband died at 52 of heart problems.

*To the tune of Mama mia* YASER ASPRILLA, "here we go" again! YASER, sign the thing, let Watford go!

Pushing VK up whilst JJ stays back is utterly pointless. I've never seen Viktor offer any attacking threat. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's a FB, not a WB.

Not been on the forum for a few hours and just seen this. Absolutely gutting! I've always said that if you took any one piece of the 15/16 season away it wouldn't have happened. That goes for Shakey too. Devastated for his family, no matter how much joy he brought us, it's nothing to what he gave them and what they've now lost.

He may not have stayed last season and proved Enzo wrong by playing a position he didn't feel comfortable with but you could argue that going to Bologna, playing a big part in their team and helping them qualify for the CL in what he sees is his natural position is certainly a case of him proving himself right.

There are more players IN our squad with PL experience than there are WITHOUT... PL experience isn't our issue, it's quality.

My issue with this is that we would be 5 signings deep and our starting 11 would be no better than it was last season. You could probably argue that our starting 11 would be weaker than it was last season.

62 goals OR assists in almost 20 THOUSAND PL minutes hardly screams quality. Especially from a players who's best days are behind him.

If he aligns with steve cooper philosophy then the problem is the philosophy. He's more proven in th PL than all of them. Yes. Is he as good as them? No, I don't think he is. Thats why I specifically highlighted quality. Jordan Ayew was a mid to low level PL player in his prime which is behind him. Signing him for a few years and paying him PL wages as he gets further and further from that prime makes no sense. If PL experience is so important, should we play Ward over Mads?

We aren't lacking PL experience in our squad. We are lacking PL ability and he doesn't have it.

....Nah, that was your cat.

I'm sure we considered it but decided to go for Jordan Ayew instead!

So you're pissed about signing a #8 and a winger because we have a #10 and a RB?

Does this thread keep being deleted, then appearing again with everyone commenting like it's new or am I having a stroke?

The fact that he doesn't seem to know what Ayew it is makes me feel slightly better for some reason.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see them getting any time. Our justice system lacks the backbone to deal with backlash.

And THAT is the problem. Because that officer couldn't control himself, two violent criminals will not only walk free, but get a good payday from it. I'm not saying that keeping your cool in that situation is easy. I'm not saying I could do it but that's why I'm not a copper and neither should this guy be. Police officers have to be held to a higher standard than you or I and even though you can't blame the guy for being emotionally caught up in it, he didn't act to that standard that we rely on to make sure thugs like those two men get put away.

You're assuming a top 6 championship club want him. For all we know, Liverpool's options are us or Plymouth...That's if there is even anything in this.

Because he'll still learn more being a bit part player for us in the PL than a spare part for them and arguably more than being a main part for a championship team.

15/20 minutes every game or two with the odd start thrown in is FAR more than he'll get at Liverpool. I disagree with that analogy. I'd say we are more like the decent looking geeky girl who once gave a popular boy a handy and got "cool" for a couple of months before returning back to her mates who spend their days sitting down at the skate park.

It looks more like a retaliation for him being knocked on his arse. The officer that done it gets knocked down right before he takers him.

Ah, so you just want Fatawu to play every single minute of football next season? Like you said, we just spent £14m on a player who will likely get the Lions share of minutes in that position. Convincing a young up and coming loan player is to play second fiddle to that player is easier than convincing one of these permanent, committed players to do it. If getting a young player on loan to sit on the bench means we can spend more on improving the starting 11 permanently somewhere else on the pitch then we should be going for it.

You want Alves on the RW?
