BOOM SHAKALAKA!

Oh god. I really REALLY hope these links with Benat are true. It's easy to see right now. A PROPER playmaker in a deeper role is essential. HE is a player who would take us to another level. Like Pirlo did for Juve. I'm confident we'd have much more possession with him here. This game could've had 3/4 goals from us.

GOAL!! NIGERIAN MESSI!!!!!!

We need STRIKER, LEADER, LEGEND on the pitch as her movement wins games

You know, Turnbull isn't quite as bad as I remember him.

Really do not like Luiz in midfield anymore. At least, not in this system.. or with Ramires. It just doesn't work too well against opposition who aren't shit.

WE ARE GR8

"Glad we got the win after a terrible start."

Realism - Not pessimism.

Pessimism isn't inclusive - but being a pessimistic person could be seen as inclusive.

Are you sure it's pessimism and not an opinion based on what I've seen the past game and current game (so far), and also more like a realism of looking at our team more like a neutral fan than one with blue-tinted glasses? We finished out of the CL spots last year. We're playing average at best football in the league this season. We cannot retain nor win possession. We're currently being outplayed by Southampton. Our striker has had around 2 touches.

Good gracious we're shit.

Glenn Hoddle and Ray Wilkins calling Mikel shit

Changed my mind. Want him. 100%. He's like a short Xabi Alonso only quicker.

You know what makes me sad and not as excited about this move as I should be? Knowing that the blonde bitch will still start most of our games regardless of his form. Many have said it before, and I'll say it again - Torres is a cancer to this club. Cannot wait until he leaves so I can feel hyped up about transfers again.

Whenever I've seen him he's been great. Fantastic playmaker. However, I don't think he's what we need anymore. He is what we need if we for some reason intent on sticking with Torres, but otherwise, it'd make more sense to go for a more robust midfielder in my opinion.

Well I hope so, otherwise having my cat suck on my nipple for the last hour has been a waste.

Just found out I have gynecomastia and will be getting surgery.......... Should I laugh or cry? Or both?

Hopefully we smash them and then take Luke Shaw off their hands. I was going to say "Wayne Bridge", but he reminds me of Leighton Baines actually; free-kick taking abilities aside (unless he's got that hidden away).

SO HYPED UP FOR THIS PRESS CONFERENCE!! RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! Don't care if he's been injured - Giuseppe Rossi will be in Florence soon to enter negotiations with Fiorentina apparently. Yes, yes, yes please. I really want him to end up at either Fiorentina or AS Roma. He is built for Serie A football. I love him.

It's rare we make our January moves so early in the window. Or, announce them at least. Happy. Going to celebrate with some square sausages and black pudding, mmm

I hope the first goal he scores for this club is destroying that blonde lesbian of ours.

Can't believe we've made a signing which makes perfect sense.

"This club is massive" Good boy.
