Special Juan

Quality player, but the big question is....why can't we unearth a gem like him or Mahrez?

Well if other clubs get our targets that's our own fault...1. For not identifying them before them, and 2. Falling massively short last season in both league and cups that not many want to be at CFC. I really do not trust our board and haven't for a while now, not just that but we have hired a bloke that is going to the Euros with his International side and that means this current board dealing with things. Of course Conte will have given them a wish list, but Jose did that, we got Miazga and not Stones, we then got Rahman....It doesn't fill you with much confidence, this summer is going to be tough for a lot of reasons.

Just because we haven't signed a player by 25th May doesn't mean we aren't going too, we will, but we don't have certain pulling power of the CL anymore, and that is huge no matter what. Of course we have lot's of money, a new manager, but in amongst all of this and in the 'striking a deal for the new player' we need this 'Player' to buy into the direction of the club, and whilst we are going for these players the big sharks are circling with sharper teeth than ours. The bit where you say you only want signings come from me quoting your post that says "Everyone is signing players except us" You need to be more patient, stop throwing your money at every prostitute you see and wait for the right time.

That's where your impatience is showing. I get the impression it's just signings you want and in large quantity, rather than the right areas and right money. This ain't FIFA or Football Manager, this is real life, and whilst CFC are still CFC we aren't a big pull anymore, deals are now going to be even more complex than ever before, remember that.

Yep, unfortunately I watch SerieA every week, I put myself through that torture and it's been like watching us last season, for years.

It's not just Manolas but nigh on everyone we are linked too you think we should sign. By the way, if our ceiling is signing Manolas we should give in, he's an average defender in an average league...He's simply not that good, and not worth that money.

No way this club will sell Ivanovic, not a chance. I think he is held in some sort of god regard...I think he's been a good servant but his one dimensional ways are very outdated and we need fresher and more athletic players at this club, and not just in his position either.

I don't want to sound bad here but have you ever disagreed with anyone we are linked too? I think if you had the reigns at CFC we would have about two thousand players.

Silly season at it's finest. I would normally be very dismissive of such shit rumors but with our track record of late you could see it happening with every one.

Zlatan and Stones according to the media will be his first two signings.

Buy Mahrez and be done with it....Keep one of Pedro/Cuadrado and be done with it.

Never heard of him... assume he's another one for loan/stop gap.... Vitesse/Boro will be fine for him. Can we actually make in roads to purchasing top quality players first before we start buying stop gaps and fringe players FFS

I really do not know what to think anymore.

Kalas has been sent back to us from Boro.

24 minutes worth of coverage on United and JM last night on SSN It's no good for me when all I tune in for is to look at the size of tits on the female presenter and something to store in the wank bank.

Needs to come in with an immediate direction, both in playing style and players to be identified. The Euros being on is doing my fucking head in, as I can see him leaving a shopping list with the likes of Emenalo and saying "I want these" only to rock up at Cobham to find he wanted Steak and Chips and got toast. I hope everyone has sat down, discussed a direction, identified players and a philosophy has been stuck too in terms of who exactly is coming and going from this football club. This for me is the biggest summer ever for this football club after what we have just witnessed, not just in terms of incoming and outgoings but exactly how we dust ourselves down and the manner we do it in. I've said it before, Antonio Conte has a devils job ahead of him.

Imagine his first signing is Zlatan like is being reported, what the fuck does that say for Rashford? Him signing Zlatan will be exactly the bookmark I expect of Mourinho at a new starting point of a club.

It wasn't long ago the United fans sang "Fuck off Mourinho"....Now they are embracing him. But that's football fans, fickle.... Let's shove up him and United, hate the cunts.

I always skip pre-match shite, I put it on as every game kicks off.....I tend not to see all the cocked up shit mate.

Who's Tinie Tempah?

The last bit will happen for definite....not sure on the others.

We can't even introduce our own, never mind buy from a team and promote that way.

He's gone, far too much water under the bridge and media outlets reporting this. JM will be confirmed sooner rather than later.

We've been there and done that, I don't want him back. He did well here, he's moved on and we should be looking at players like a Mahrez instead of Mata.

What makes me laugh is that he is their most successful manager in two years and has been sacked after winning the FA Cup
