That Llorente info really annoys me. He was an awful signing last summer and the majority of us knew it, it was a stupid decision when supposedly there was interest in January and we rebuffed it and now we’ve pissed away £15m plus whatever the contract was for the season and we’re struggling to get rid? Absolute shambles.
It's 'whether' by the way.
Love a bit of Foxxy ITK. Spot on. Bit worrying we can't shift the deadwood to upgrade but 1st team is still solid.
On paper, yes. On the pitch, If you think a 6ft 5inch beanpole who can’t run, can’t get involved with intricate build up play and relies on crosses to the backpost is what we need in this squad then I wonder what football you watch.That’s just not true. A premier league, World Cup winning striker with bags of experience having won leagues and cups for a low fee on paper was exactly what the squad was crying out for.

That’s what I’m saying. It’s not bloody hindsight, it’s watching football and understanding how we play. It’s not rocket science. Even I can work it out.Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
As easy, no make that as fucking easy as it would be for me to start tearing into R2D2 over this, I'm not going to. The time for that would be when the window closes so until then, I'm keeping my massive store of powder dry. He might actually do well in the end.

Don’t talk rubbish. We have one of the best 2 fullbacks in terms of crossing ability, we have players like Eriksen who can put the ball on a sixpence, if you remember the likes of Dier and Toby would often go direct with raking balls - on paper it was right and that’s what you go off, because unless you are mystic meg reincarnated (wonder what happens to her) you have no idea how the dominos will fall.That’s what I’m saying. It’s not bloody hindsight, it’s watching football and understanding how we play. It’s not rocket science. Even I can work it out.
Our bag of Revels transfer approach is coming back to bite us. They’ve mostly been coming up raisins, and lo and behold no one wants the raisins (because they’re fucking disgusting). Entirely a problem of our own making.
I get the point that we seem to make a fair few signings that don't work out for one reason or another, but what I don't get is the disrespect those players are receiving. Just because they're not working out doesn't mean they're lazy or useless, it just means we're not the team for them and they'd be better off elsewhere.

opinion based on the current market and the need of the player to them, there is no way they are letting him go for 55m imo
Maybe we should save our crying until after we see how our established squad does
Great newsNew contract for Lamela
Until 2022
