    Wolves are in talks for some right back. Nothing major. Just a minor £35m

    The Falcao thing was so hilarious cause at the time remember it was "United have replaced RvP before Arsenal have!" lolol Those were some fun times.

    If we'd have signed peak Falcao (around the Atletico era) he'd have been a legend. Shame he got crippled and couldn't settle.

    They're also on about selling Benik Afobe to Stoke.

    Quick £2m. If i was Benik, would be furious. Come back on lon with 6 goals in 16 appearances and then wolves buy him permanently. Then days later, wolves willing to listen to offers. That only means wolves have seen another target somewhere. Probably some Portuguese winger who now plays as a striker and captain of the national team.

    Memphis Depay is off to Milan apparently.

    I hope it works out for him, I was always rooting for him at Utd.

    He's so, so good. Phenomenal with the ball but hasn't actually had a thought about the game since he was 15. All instinct. Shame. I'd love to watch him in a 5 a side in the old dutch cages though, I'm sure he's an absolute monster in that freestyle situation.

    Athletico have apparently offered Griezmann an absolutely gargantuan new contract to try and get him to stay.

    440,000 Euros a week after tax is the report. That's mental. More than Ronaldo is on.

    In a nutshell. Think the FFP line is a bit of a red herring. We're financially fucked. 4.2m isn't going to send us under, but Grealish will be sold and any of the big earners we can offload will be gone.

    It's just occurred to me that Saint e-mailing Tim Vickery to call him an idiot a decade(!) ago may have been the precursor to the whole 'Fake News' established media backlash. The fact that Vickery seemed to think he was an angry fourteen year old was simply an early indication of their patronising elitism.

    We've signed some kid from PSG that manages to look like an even more moody Rabiot.

    I've just caught up on Arsenal transfer news. Are they really signing a 34 year old wingback, a dodgy 30yo centre back from Dortmund, and Marouane Fellaini? That's parody stuff.

    It would be nice if he's the bollocks so we'd actually have a right back as it's been a while now.

    The Porto fans on Reddit were properly raving about him, they were really pissed off he's leaving.

    He filled in at left back against Liverpool in the 0-0 and looked good.

    How can you be a Porto fan and be pissed off at your club selling someone?

    Probably annoyed as they've already sold their first choice right back Ricardo Pereira to us and they probably wanted this kid to replace him.

    Because they thought he was staying after the other right back was sold to Leicester.

    Edit: too slow.

    They'd also hoped he'd sign a new contract to raise his release clause as they think he's worth more than what's been paid.

    I live for this shit, it's so lame.
    A place or two are starting to report the Kohler sleeve sponsorship deal. Looks like this lad's sources are real.

    We haven't even sacked Conte yet. Our transfer business so far has been losing Jody Morris to Derby, we'll probably end up with me in charge of the under 23s by August.

    I still maintain Memphis would've thrived had Luke Shaw not had his leg destroyed in front of him. I really think that threw him all out of whack to be quite honest. He was never the same after that, like he started to think about everything too much instead of just playing football.

    I think there were flashes of whatever phonics is on about, but he was mostly shit. Then again so was everybody during that period, so you could say he was written off a bit soon compared to some people.

    I think Memphis will be a really good player, but he's someone who needs to be indulged with regular football despite his inconsistency until that side of his game improves.

    He was never going to get that at any of the big clubs. He moved too soon essentially.

    He's just a rich man's Adel Taarabt, i.e. a complete waste of time.

    'Talent' is completely meaningless. Anyone good is good because they are mentally strong.

    Memphis will be good. Just had a phenomenal season at Lyon, he’ll end up at something like AC Milan and overall improve the side

    So is/has pretty much every player you've signed since Fergie left. Maybe it's not the players fault?

    We've done alright, then. Imagine if we'd had even one player perform competently.
