I'd swap Ramires Cuadrado + £20m But realistically it'd be £30-35m + Ramires permanent + Cuadrado on loan

Lost my shit.

Meh, improvement on Schurrle now I think about it.

Apparently its done deal, odds cut, sky sports news etc. some lad just popped into my office.. all the signs are there. Can't understand why we've done this though.. Not on the bandwagon.

We arn't playing like we did at the start of last season hence he struggles, its not rocket science.. we are playing into feet, back to goal, his first touch is awful, we always knew that, he's best given space to run into. I honestly think Falcao would have been a better choice at half time.

£30m for Mangala. £34m for Stones. Makes sense to me, get him in.

Annoys me that almost every report is selling this as £21.7m when the actual deal is based on potential add-ons, did exactly the same with Lukaku.

I'd hope not in truth, not Victors biggest fan but preseason he was electric and earnt himself a chance

Thought his release clause was 60m euros? Anyway, we desperately need a CM, not £34m on a CB this window.

Laughed again.

Laughed.

That goal reaction.............

Christ. Wake up team.

Steer clear, please.

Meh, first game. Prefer if things went this way, lets the squad know that things won't be easy. If we play like that or those mistakes continue into the latter stages of pre-season then we worry.

Lollichon is still under contract at Chelsea, gave an interview the other day saying he doesn't know what is going to happen. Understand Petr needs to play and its a nice message to the Chelsea fans but 'I need to play' yeah.. Arsenal are not the only club in world football, Petr.

Can't believe that Jose would spend such an amount (reportedly) on a player in England, with the way the media is over here. That is honestly why I believe we do not tie up deals for certain players.

Scary to think what he will deliver trophy wise should he see that deal out. Two leagues Two fa cups One league cup One UCL Who can actually say that's not a possibility with Jose in charge? Am I his biggest fan with his tactics in big games? No, my posts dictate that for sure but.. No one is better than delivering trophies than this man.

Reading that Chelsea have set a £10m tag for Bamford, Newcastle interested

Cesc, QPR

£30m I'd take him, anything more than that we'd be getting stiffed. Talented kid for sure, but that's all he is, in a weak league. The big problem is his agent, if he had a more sensible less out spoken agent instead of that fat mess the fee touted would probably be feasible instead of 60-70-80m euros

Terrible first half, much like Juve in general with Vidal trying his best to get sent off. Probably Juve's best player in the second half though.

This was an issue for Ruben in the youth teams aswell though no? I read a few articles a while back that said he had to be spoken to a few times about his work rate in games because his talent was unquestionable it was his work ethic that was questioned. Same again here, unsure how really so I can't agree with the posters that say of course he got carried away etc. it was and still is down to him, I make Jose 100% right to publicly do this to him. Comments were made previously, subtly and its not worked, perhaps this will or someone get Wolfsburg on the phone.

yawn, Cundy's commentary

I don't mind the home kit Haven't bought a shirt since 05/06 mind.
