No?

Apparently going for Draxler and Barkley. Mate says bringing in Draxler will soften the blow of losing Sanchez. And bringing in Draxler will soften the blow of bringing in Barkley,

Think we need a more well rounded striker than Gayle.

in that case, the only business I see us doing is bringing a loan striker in to replace Gayle, should he go. Oh and Colback, Krul and maybe Lazaar's exits too.

True enough. Kenedy aside, I think the only way we'll see someone coming in, is if Gayle leaves. And to be honest, I'd expect a loan deal for Perez, rather than a permanent deal for Tosun.

It's more likely they'll sign both than we'll pip anyone to a deal.

Reports that Palace have outbid us.

He probably only worked it out when one of them didn't complain about the hairs in their cup.

I think it's the eyebrows.

Sure, but clubs tend to prefer the medicals to be done close by, for whatever reasons. Rasta? Oh aye, I scream Natty Congo.

There is a similarity

Like shite Ashley's letting Gayle borrow his helicopter.

I love your bold declarations Parky. Never Change.

To Fulham from Benton? That's a good 4 1/2 hrs by taxis and trains.

Just rumours of Kenedy and Targett. Gayle apparently showed up to training 4 hours early. You'd think, if he was leaving for Fulham, he and his representatives would be en route to London by now.

We could do with a full time head-doctor. Sort out Shelvey & Mitrovic's discipline and convince Ashley, Barnes and Charnley the error of their ways.

I think scissor tackles are extremely dangerous and put unnatural pressure on the ankle and knee. I think that potential to cause serious injury should be taken into consideration when punishment is meted out. That's why two footed tackles are banned, tackles where you're off the floor and thus out of control and so on, their potential for causing injury is higher than a normal tackle.

He's a moron.

Burnley? Stoke?

Holding Wenger's jacket as he takes the photo.

I think idfthey had hinted at Littlefinger colluding with the Lannisters, then his scheming would have seemed more critical. As it stood, his ambition to sit on the Iron Throne wasn't a concern because although he had a tentative control of the Knights of the Vale, it was clear that Royce (?) would leap at any chance to switch allegiance to someone else. And the Knights of the Vale aside, he has no power. It was made obvious that Sansa was no longer wholesale buying what he was selling, it was obvious that Bran was immune to his bullshit, as was Arya. imo the show should have had Littlefinger plotting throughout this season with lesser Northern Lords and the Lannisters. Make his betrayals and machinations have weight in major characters' stories. Currently all it was going to do was make Sansa's grip on the North weaker or firmer until Jon returned with Daenerys and the whole R+L=J stuff eclipses all other storylines. Which likely be episode 1 or 2 in season 8. Have the Stark sister storyline be about Arya distrusting Baelish, investigating his plot, basically hunting him, discovering it all the while trying to get the trust of Sansa who would obviously be reluctant to trust her newly returned creepy psycho sister. But do it over the whole season, rather than just squeezing it into a few episodes.

There does seem to be a trend to be hyper critical of players. If they're not the complete footballer they're dogshit. If they're 24 but haven't yet perfected their art they're a lost cause.
