10m is the fee that's being rumoured as well, hopefully steering clear of him.

Agreed, unless Williamson leaves I think Mbemba is our lot for CB buys. We'll have Colo and Mbemba as the most likely starting partnership, with Dummett, Taylor, Williamson and Lascelles all as back up and then youth like Satka and Kemen if desperate. I just hope Williamson is below Dummett and Taylor in McClaren's pecking order but with 100 or so appearances he'll be seen as experienced enough backup to not warrant buying another. I'd quite like to find a replacement for Colo but a fully new CB partnership and a new coaching staff may be a bit too much change at the back. I'm hoping Lascelles proves to have a lot of potential and then we'd have a canny future partnership with him and Mbemba.

Aye Williamson is total fucking dogshit in the air, mainly due to his complete lack of ability at judging the flight of the ball. The fact that we wont have Williamson starting automatically makes our defending the high ball better.
-
What a snake!
-
Fantastic, I hope he keeps the celebration.
-
This.

Chuffed with this, we still really need defenders but this gives us a bit more depth up front. It's also good to see the club can now sack off the bloke who puts the numbers on shirts and Mitrovic is willing to double up as a player-shirt presser.
-
I most certainly will not use Bing.
-
His jump is important as well, the bloke seems athletic going off the pace he has so I'd be pretty confident that he can jump at least 3 inch higher than the horrifically unathletic Williamson. Tim Cahill is 5' 10" but regularly gives far taller defenders trouble in the air as he can jump so fucking high. The fact is though if he is in any way decent it'll be better than having Williamson there.
-
Aye, it couldn't possibly be worse than the amount of free headers we gave the opposition from set pieces last season. Williamson is 6 foot 3 but he's a complete coward, if this lad is willing to actually challenge for the ball then he'll be an upgrade despite being 3" shorter.
-
Aaron's has played 4 games with 0 assists in the Prem, Haidara has 1 assist in the Prem so I don't understand how you can say either of them are good at crossing and Ferguson isn't going to make it as a Premier League player. So out of that lot Janmaat is the only proven good crosser we have.
-
Looks a powerful lad, especially in the air so it's a good thing we have so many good crossers of the ball...
-
Aye Debuchy was fucking class man, the amount of times there was total panic in our 18 yard area and he ran across cool as you like chested the ball down and calmly moved the ball on to one of our players is a real miss when we have to watch Mike Williamson panic and hoof the ball straight back to the opposition. I like both players and it's hard to say who was better, especially as Janmaat has played in a worse side than Debuchy did. I agree that his injury problems at Arsenal have helped many forget how good he was, he did sometimes get caught out of position but it rarely mattered as he was so quick and athletic he was able to get back and stop them, it wasn't like when Simpson got caught out of position and it often ended in trouble for us.
-
Especially as Dozy was 21 and 22 those years at AZ, when he was 20 and 19 (Mitrovic's age when he was scoring for Anderlecht) he went 1 goal in 12 games at Bursaspor and 1 goal in 28 games at Hull. Altidore had 2 good scoring years at AZ but never scored with any sort of regularity before that, in comparison Mitrovic managed 10 in 25 then 3 in 3 (before moving to Anderlect) with Partizan and 7 goals in 25 games in the Serbian 2nd division when he was about 16. Mitrovic is highly rated and has always had media hailing him as class, Altidore got a bit of hype off those 2 seasons but he was a fucking abomination that season on loan at Hull so it wasn't too much of a stretch to imagine he'd be shit.
-
Has he missed any substantial time with the knee issue? I remember it being talked about when QPR bought him as some other team pulled out because of it and since then he has scored 35 league goals for QPR in 66 games. Or is it more of a Ba 'it could possibly screw up and if it does he'll never play again' type of thing?
-
:lol:

Krul's hair looking top notch as usual.

"Delph you snake" even in their anger they are completely bland boring throbbers. I'm sure he will be devastated by that while he's warming the bench for Man City.
-
Get in, now this is what I was talking about when I was saying I missed the radge transfer sagas that end well the other week. Talented kid by all accounts and I fully agree with AH that our radge packet quota has been shockingly low, so this helps. We might not be completely fucking dull to watch this season.
-
Aye I'm hoping it's out of them and the mackems for the third spot, right pair of winnets clinging to the hairs that are 17th and 16th place.
-
-
I fucking hope so the pack of bastards. But aye I do, they were poor enough with them two and I think they'll be hard to replace.
-
I especially enjoy that they'll hate him even more now because they thought he was being really loyal but instead was using them to leverage a bigger contract. Benteke and Delph leaving that team of fucking knackers, even if he got the full amount to reinvest I wouldn't have much faith in old cocknose Sherwood to get it right.
