Special Juan

That will be a short interview then

I'd have him here, he's a blank canvas, got good and bad points but Conte could mould him, for 25-30M could be a very good bit of business.

Ah it's reared it's head again, the media guessed two weeks ago and are still guessing now.

Madrid littered with absolute elite players everywhere. Even the players who are below that level are 8/10 at worst. Seems to be a myth we can' be at this level, we can, it will take time, but transfer windows have to be miles better and targets need to be miles better and miles more bigger in terms of scope than Danny Drinkwater. Isco was sublime tonight, Kroos and Modric never break sweat, wing backs with mass intelligence and forwards who run forever and are intelligent with it.

1-0 Madrid

Mourinho's glove puppet speaking again....

Shouldn't be 'stepping up' now, that momentum should of been as soon as the window opened.

That's how it is now, feel sorry for the small clubs trying to buy players that 2 seasons ago would of been £10M and are now going for 20-25M

Right now I'm not even sure Morata will start.

in a nutshell our board.

I still fancy City to sign at least another 6 attacking players.

I love the phrase 'Chelsea have entered the race' Problem is, we forget to pick up the fucking baton.

The Ox, Bertrand, Mahrez and Llorente, all of a sudden the squad lookers fatter and healthier.

I wouldn't expect us to even entertain the idea, we can't see past our own arse. We need more attacking options as well as two wing backs.

Spend the cash elsewhere, and if this is the amount (50M) then go and break the bank and fetch Dembele here from Dortmund, kids absolute different gravy.

Can't get my head around them being there.

Right now as it stands with Bakayoko still injured and Hazard out, along with the squad as thin as it is, that game against Spurs could be an absolute mauling.

Less of that right now.

I feel so sorry for this bloke, I really do.

14, that's absolutely incredible, the season is days away.

From the start of pre season to this point now, everytime we have played we look miles behind the intensity of the team we have played. Closing to tracking, ball distribution and movement off the ball has been so laboured. Won't get away with it even against the likes of Burnley, time to raise it or suffer.

We are a week from the season starting and we have no clue as to who will be starting as out main man. Forget that we paid 70M for Morata, Batsuayhi has looked good, but that's it, we play with one man so there is a problem, not a good one because neither player has been brilliant.

We are all sat here like a kid watching out of a window on a rainy day.

Weird thing is, if the team start slow the managers gets dumped...Yet the board starts slow we are told to be patient.
