He never said that did he ?

Arnautovi? will be a decent signing if you can get him.

Appears to have.

£23m for arna seems strong though!

Stood on the North Bank as a boy...

Actually I'm quite happy that he's joined.

If Keita Balde comes off, I'll buy all you regulars a in the Carpenters before the first home game (which is around Guy Fawkes night I think?!?)

I actually hope he doesn't, I attended More Lazio matches that West Ham last season and could do with him staying at Lazio haha.

All we need now is for AC to stay fit for the whole season.

I spy a pig, a pig with wings.

Looks like we have a new striker:-

Turning into an unbelievable transfer window for us.
Can't wait for the season to start .

[pincher]

Won't believe it until I see him wearing the shirt (even though it has been semi announced on the OS)

[RichB]

I can only imagine they have pre-agreed terms and know they are acceptable to both parties.

[bad company]

I just wonder if we will now lose some of the existing squad. Clearly one of the goalkeepers will go but I wouldn't want to lose AC or Sakho.

Just be better if we didn't have to wait so long for a home game.

Can't see AC going anywhere, Sakho I'm not particularly bothered about anymore - just as fragile as AC but with a st attitude. Need to keep 1 of them though.

Think Snodgrass will be moved on though and assume Feghouli - although that move seems to have gone quiet.

Anyone know if Carroll is fit? Him paired with Hernández could be excellent.

Haven't seen his name on the bench

Physio room still reports him injured

Just astonishing, how the fk can you be injured for a year or more? That's not injured that's permanently crippled.

Anyway it seems Slavan's determined to pair Hernández with Arnautović.

[AJB88]

As much as I would like to see Herhandez with Carroll its not going to happen.

I'd rather see Carroll and Sahko sold for whatever we can get for them and some fresh legs brought in. Has to be a young Striker out there that wants to step up.

Is that not Ashley Fletcher?

Hopefully although I get the feeling he will be shipped out on Loan.

[pincher]

How long has AC got left on his contract? A year maybe? Can see us winding it down and then just releasing him - it's a shame that he has been so unreliable really but the best we can realistically hope for is to ship him back off to Newcastle for a few million and get him off the wage bill.
