    I don’t know much outside of the Premiership and League 1, but even I know him.

    He's played in the Champion's League loads. Leverkusen usually get out of the groups and he's been their first choice for years.

    If Leno has the Neuer saving style, then Arsenal have a winner.

    Christ you openly say you don't know anything about a player and people get on you for it. How dare I.

    He is a goalkeeper. Unless he fucks stuff up or makes countless wonder saves. The position is easy to miss.

    I couldn't care less if you don't know about him, which is why I didn't pick you up on it.

    Your 'excuse' is nonsense though.

    I was reading about him (due to Liverpool being linked with him) and the conclusion was he was almost as much of a walking disaster-zone as Karius at times, although that seemed harsh from my not at all informed perspective. He was going to be quite pricey, wasn't he?

    £22m does not sound like that bad. Again Ive never noticed him in the Leverkusen games ive watched. He didnt make the germany squad. Kevin Trapp got in aheah of him. That may tell you something. Neuer played 4 games for Bayern all season and walked back into the Germany team with the captains armband.

    That I haven't seen a Leverkusen match since Ballack played for them. Yeah it's falling apart at the seams that 'excuse'.

    You said you watch Champions League games. It’s akin to saying you don’t know who Bart Simpson is because you only watch the Halloween episodes.

    That’s said, There’s loads of players I don’t know, so crack on.

    I was explaining why he was ‘being pulled up’ before promptly pointing out that there’s loads I don’t know myself, so it’s pretty ‘let go’ really.

    Roma want seventy million quid off Liverpool for Alisson. Given he probably isn't even one of the ten best around at least half of that has to be them trying to make up for letting Salah go for what later turned out to be buttons.

    Which goalkeepers have we all heard of then? I've heard of Kasey Keller, Thomas Myhre and Jonas Lössl.

    Niemi is remembered at least as fondly up here for his role in the best thing ever to happen on a football phone in, not a long list admittedly, as for anything he did in a football pitch.

    Roma are taking the piss with their asking price for Alisson, but that's their prerogative. Can't see anyone offering anywhere near that. Had anyone really heard of this guy 12 months ago (even if he was the Brazilian No.1)?

    I've just found out that Sampdoria midfielder is from a town called 'Fray Bentos' so I'm 100% behind this move.

    That was one of the first things I noticed when I first look him up as well. Go streetview it, it's in the middle of fucking nowhere and looks like the most boring place on earth.

    The pies are named after the town.

    There's another Premiership player from there but I forget who.

    I'm still not 100% that some of the talksport presenters realise that the bloke was on the wind up. They often play the call as an example confused callers, but never take the piss out of the presenter who fell for it.

    Because is he really any better than the muppets they already have?

    Decent shot-stopper prone to occasional catastrophic errors of judgment? Sign him up!

    Martial's agent has made it pretty clear he wants to leave (specifically alluding the Sanchez signing).

    Arsenal seem to be wanting to sign Berndt Leno and Lucas Torreira. Both who seem like reasonable if unspectacular signings - but sort of the kind that Everton would make. So I dunno. And also seems like Wilshere is indeed leaving, which I think is a shame but maybe it's more the heart than the mind thinking that.

    Has Martial actually been playing without having an impact in a game for United? He's always seemed like he was on the ball a lot and doing a lot of things when playing.

    Seems to me a bit like one of those players that would really thrive somewhere else where they basically don't have to be Willians regen all the time.

    @Mazuuurk Torreira seems anything but to me. From the buzz around him and the astonishing insight that is provided by YouTube videos, I’m quite buoyed by the prospect. Lichtensteiner and Sokratis look like reasoned, sensible signings to steady the ship, the boy from Fray Bentos looks like building for a brighter future. Leno I don’t know much about, or at least not enough of the past couple of years of him being a senior player for Leverkusen, though I know he looked the part as a youngster.

    None of it’s that inspiring but seems ok whilst we’re rebuilding on a small budget. Hopefully Sokratis means Mustafi being moved on in July and freeing up some more funds for another acquisition in the defence. I’d love us to have a pop at Luke Shaw personally, or Kieran Tierney, given LB is another problem area. Mavropoulos, Sokratis, Kos, Chambers and Holding is enough to get by if we move to two centre halves and probably enough even with 3 at the back, but Monreal isn’t up to par and I’m yet to be fully sold on Kolasinac.

    Kolasinac or Monreal are just as good/bad as Bellerin I reckon, so basically probably need a right back as well.

    Lichsteiner is in to cover RB, but I think Bellerin silk has the ability to return to the level he was at 18 months ago. If he can, RB is sorted for the foreseeable future or until Barcelona renew their interest.
