Blimey they wrapped that one up quickly.

I'm guessing he's the YC replacement. Could be good though - certainly has the potential pedigree for that role. I guess now what we need are the new strikers.

Least it's a start.

I've seen a thing saying Fulham are willing to spend £10million on McCormack, which makes it a bit irritating that we're now being outbid by Championship sides.

Just me who thinks Steven Davis is Southampton's best player?

Always seems to completely run the show whenever I see Southampton.

He is good and underrated to a degree. Jack Cork also plays well, and they certainly underuse Gaston Ramirez. Maybe he'll get a chance now Lallana is leaning in Liverpool.

Interesting to see this stat going round saying Sissoko created 14 more chances then Adam Lallana last season, and Lallana just moved for a fuckload of cash. This will either mean Pardew might be coerced into doing something useful with the rest of his game rather than lumping him out wide, or Ashley gets his way and sells him.

We clearly need new players, but its depressing the bigger number of rumours almost always seems to be with outgoings.

Tavernier signed for Wigan. Out of curiosity, why do we at least appear so incapable of bringing academy lads into the first team squad?

His 4 year contract is a pretty good reason.

Didn't Andy Carroll sign a 5 year contract 3 months before leaving, and more recently, didn't Luke Shaw sign a 5 year deal with Southampton a few months back?

Imagine this next season, a front three of Neymar, Messi & Suarez with Xavi, Iniesta & Rakitic feeding them from midfield, not to mention Alves and Alba bombing down the wings to help.

Xavi has said he's moving to Qatar. But even so stopping that would be an unenviable mission.

Calm down.

Debuchy hasn't been sold yet. No one has.

Considering he has said in interviews he feels inhibited by Pardew's tactics, wants to play in the Champions League and his bezzie mate joined PSG, what reason does MD have to stay?

By Splash The Cash On Matt Le Tiss | On 27 June 2014 - 16:35 PM

They should make a bid for Redmond. Premier League experience, young, versatile, probably going cheap thanks to Norwich's relegation, reasonably talented and could do a job in the team right now.

I would like him among others. I would've preferred Snodgrass but he's reportedly signing a deal with Hull, so that's probably out.

I just wish we'd sign someone Premier League ready - as much as Armstrong, Campbell and Perez could be a good players, to have them as our only fit strikers for the season opener is a fucking massive gamble.

Meanwhile, Tavernier and Abeid are apparently leaving (who knows why, especially in the case of the latter), Debuchy is being linked with a move to Arsenal as their replacement for Sagna, and all we seem to have done is tell Wonga.com we'll let them stay on as sponsor even despite their recent outing as fucking arseholes in the courts.
EDIT: There's a Twitter rumour Puma aren't happy at having to make kits with Wonga.com on the front, although if they care about ethics, maybe they should pay a better wage to their Asian sweatshop workers.

For crying out loud, it feels like we need a millennium to be even linked with someone, yet when a player is even linked with leaving, they can't get them out the club quickly enough.

Lallana and Shaw are good players but Southampton have done incredibly well to get £55M out of them.

Diego Maradona has likened Suarez's punishment to an internment in Guantanamo Bay.

He has clearly been taking too much medication.

I wanted Newcastle to sign Snodgrass given we need another winger. Daresay we probably have someone cheaper in mind - namely nobody.

He's also had similar messages from Pizza Hut, Domino's and the Uruguayan McDonald's Twitter.

He's a total berk though. If he wants to be known for more than biting, why the fuck does he keep doing it?

This World Cup has been an excellent standard, with no truly terrible teams. (Avoid England jokes)

Should make some places available for real no-hopers. Chad, Haiti, Mongolia and Luxembourg should be given wild card spots or something.

Can we make Spain or Cameroon jokes then?

Blimey South Korea's goalkeeper was totally awful. Algeria did look good though.

Those proposed changes are more about the future and helping Dyke's ambition of winning the Qatar World Cup. Even if they'd been implemented by now (and they haven't because the Football League was never going to vote for them), they'd have done fuck all to help England in this tournament.

Despite being English I found it hilarious when I saw the cheeky git in the Scotland shirt, stereotypical hat and flag after Suarez's 2nd.

Certainly a win for Italy keeps it interesting but the odds really are not in England's favour.

Meanwhile, One Direction's Louis Tomlinson has bought Doncaster Rovers.

I remember got an entire cheer from Villa Park when footage of him being taken out by Agbonlahor was replayed on screens before the Villa-Newcastle game last year. But I suppose if he likes the club and has the money for it, it might work... well until the One Direction cash cow runs dry.

Much as Man City is not the opener I wanted, and an early trip to Southampton for our annual defeat, we don't have the worst opening games in the world.

December looks like a killer series of fixtures already. Arsenal, Chelsea, Sunderland, Manchester United and Everton in a row could be a bad enough run to end the manager's grip.

Given it contains Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United, Everton and a Tyne-Wear Derby, December could be a brutal month.
