Football

but defoe isn't at wigan!

Steve Bull to West Brom

ha

Jason Lee to Stoke

Paul Rideout to Derby

.

Steve Agnew to Spurs.

Ozil wage demands are close to €200k a week - can't see him ending up at Arsenal now.

Corniad beat me to it.

Also big sigh of relief that Capoue looks like he'll only be out for a month or so. His reaction when he went down and the precautions that were taken with his ankle made me think the worst, not just for his season but also how spurs would fare without him. Of the signings so far he's the one who seems to have settled the quickest and whose performances justify the price tag..

How would you fare without him? Considering he he's played a couple of games for you I don't think you'll notice it very much.

#statingthebleedinobvious

as for justifying the price tag - I think you got a steal with Chadli, providing he's receiving the right sort of attention on the training pitch he could prove to be a very shrewd piece of business.

corndog, i agree with jaw, i though Chadli looked the most accomplished of the new players on show yesterday. would like to have seen Lamela brought on earlier too.

despite the knockback yesterday i reckon you have got a lot to get excited about this season. until the real bed wetting starts after xmas anyway

We'll be fine without Capoue for a month. Dembele and/or Sandro can fill in.

Fernando to Everton looks off.

Stephen Ireland and his hideous fucking taste in cars will fit in well in Stoke.

yes, thank fuck.

Can't remember who said it earlier (jaw?), but yeah, very unlike Arsenal to be blowing £45m on a player, albeit one with his talents.

Gareth Barry is on nearly £120k a week. Fucking lol!

Has he moved to Everton yet?
Also this Suarez to Madrid stuff. Are the papers so so sad that they still need to keep writing this stuff even with only 4 hours or so left to wrap up any deals. Does anybody really believe any of this shite?

andy carroll happened at the 11th hour don't forget .... as if we would

although liverpool have said they won't sell him

Stephen Ireland and his hideous fucking taste in cars will fit in well in Stoke.

He's not that fucking bell end with a pink diamond encrusted Bentley or some such is he?

Im not even going to bother. I am going for a news black out from now until 11

it'll be as tense as the 2nd half of the man utd game yesterday
who's in who's out
rumours he's off like manure shots on goal
fsg denials like mignolet saves

Something that is interesting to me - in terms of what people are saying about Ozil being very expensive, is that when you compare him to Gareth Bale their stats aren't so wildly different and like I said earlier very similar stats to Mata also.

Those two were the stand out midfielders last season - one has left for twice as much, the other seems likely to leave for a similar fee.

Another point to mention in regards to his wages is, that he earns the give or take combined salary of Arshavin and Squillaci, which whilst a joke when you realise we paid them that for 4 years, means that it's an easy decision to make

^ Ozil is a great signing. was talking with skoota at lunchtime today and i said i would choose him over Bale

Spuds trying to swap Adebayor for Torres? - probably wildly un-true.

But funny.
