We were looking at players to bring in what's your point? 

I think there's just an interest to know which players we were genuinely looking at, even if they didn't come to fruition it's nice to know which of the rumours were true targets

Don't get me wrong. I think we got a great first 11 but I think there are 7 teams that have a better squad than us. Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, United, Everton and Wolves. 

Everton and Wolves absolutely not. Everton’s tactic has been tried by teams previously outside the top six and how often does it work? The foundations of our squad have been in place for a while, we just haven’t had a good enough coach to make the most of it. Now we do, we have a top manager, and we’ve got a fantastic, energetic side that is a match for anyone in this league. Call me mental, but I’m going to predict we will finish 5th. We’re a lot better than people think.

Rob Dorsett saying on Sky the club are confident they've got it done. Announcement in next hour.

The way we work, the club wouldn’t want them publicised .... we will likely be back for them .....

To some on here it definitely is

 

I'd be delighted to win the FA Cup and finish 7th. Still means we play in Europe which is the ultimate gain. Plus silverware. Too 6 will strengthen guaranteed while the money is there.

Look winning the league in 2016 was beyond my wildest dreams.  As I am 42 I think we will win the FA Cup in my lifetime

Even the club are as worried as we are 😂

Delay is because the social media intern exported the wrong video, having to re-render it without a flattering shot of Slimani picking his nose

I totally agree.

 

6th place Manchester United were 14

points ahead of us last season. 

 

Arsenal were 18 points ahead in 5th

 

Yes we’ve strengthened, but so have they and everybody else.

How many points ahead of us were they when we brought Brendan in?

[LC/FC]

Praet to wear the number 120.

To signify 2 hours after the deadline.

Everton have issues at centre back, only really have 2 senior centre backs in Mina and Keane, and Mina spent majority of last season injured and was poor when he did play (played the equivalent of less than 10 full matches)

This was the table after the Palace loss a couple of days before Rodgers took over...

I also think we're better than people think but I do think that Maguire was a big loss and we will miss him. I rate Caggers and Benko but they will make errors. You can't lose the world's most expensive CB and expect to be as strong at the back.
