I'm sure you won't, it was a long time ago and he didn't go on to have much of a career.

Paul Mahorn. You'll probably need to Google him!

Looks like Jese’s loan at Stoke is being terminated.

Guess who his only goal for the club was against.

You're missing the point here. When you talk about guys like Coutinho, Mbappe, Pulisic or whoever, you aren't talking about what they would cost *now* in terms of what a team like Arsenal should be going after. Coutinho was had for £12m under five years ago! Salah would cost another 50%+ after his performances this year.

Nearly every great young player right now was a gamble a year or three years ago that a different club took.

Now, I love the Pool signings of getting the best player available to them in keita/salah/vvd that apparently bigger clubs didn't seem interested in, while spending big money.

Today we're linked with Cristian Pavon from Boca. Had never heard of him! Looked him up, seems great to me. Young, high upside attacker. Just go for it.

Moshiri “if I tell you what we offered Lukaku you wouldn’t believe me. His agent came to finch farm to sign contract then Lukaku phones his mother” and there was a pilgrimage to Africa and some sort of voodoo that says he had to sign for Chelsea. “What can you do?”

Lol

Agreed. They looked good against Man Utd too.

Supposedly we enquired about Aden Flint before opting to sign José Fonte, aged 67, last year.

They're among the three worst sides I've seen at BL this season and that we lost to them was just variance

Sixfour how do you feel about the derby on friday
01-09-2018 , 06:50 PM
Would be hilarious if City somehow had Alexis on the bench on Sunday

Bookie mate of mine assures me Bilic will NOT be the next Stoke manager. Inside info! I've duly laid him at evens, so you know the drill. Go forth and multiply your bankrolls by backing Bilic.

We've just signed someone who we've been pursuing for a while but it may be a bit short notice to throw him into the derby at the deep end, we're odds on which seems a bit short given we've looked average on a lot of occasions since Coutts broke his leg. Could do with Brooks back

Classic 1990s CB. No real pace but decent positionally with the heart of a lion. Good for a few goals too.

A better Michael Keane with Steve Bruce's nose.
