For anyone to suggest the Rooney as had does not know football. Rooney now as a new challenge and at 31 he is still young enough to do a great job in the PL you write him off at your peril.

He's a fat knacker.

I stood not six feet away from him looked pretty lean to me. Everyone involved with him at this moment as said how fit he looks, obviously you know better.

I'd always taken the story about Everton sending a man round to Anfield to measure the trophy cabinet so they could build their cabinet big enough, with a pinch of salt, but where else would they go in fairness?
Anyway it turns out it isn't actually a myth. At the moment it contains a clock. Fast forward to 29.30 https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v...

Just hoping we can get the Sigurdsson deal done soon,if in fact he is going to come.

Ciggy deal is becoming tiresome now, seems as though the Swansea owners are holding out against the wishes of the manager, who sounds like he just wants it done so they can plan their season. I personally would rather keep Barkley now, I think he would blossom with better players around him, though he would have to sharpen up his decision making.

Fully expect Ciggy deal to go through but maybe not until the end of the window, if we get him then fine, but I think the price is crazy (but then look at Neymar).

This is just stupid on another level, a level we will and should never compete in

Lack of a new striker concerns me

If you've got it, spend it. That kind of money comes straight out of the owners pocket, not the fans

Maybe, but it inflates the next lot of transfer fees ,giving the agent leeches a new target figure

[Fast Bug]

I think the agents fees should be capped, as that is money that goes straight out of the game

[m3sye]

Seems to everywhere on Twitter gylfi is expected to sign soon
Has anyone shown real interest in Ross yet?

[Fast Bug]

I think Sigs will be done in the next few days.

Barkley needs to lower his wage demands, although I did hear Chelsea might be interested and they like paying daft wages

[hilly10]

Spuds will never sign him with his demands of £150k a week Kane is top earner with £120k a week. I think also clubs could be waiting to see how he is after is Groin Opp

[Blue62]

Didn't see the match on Thursday but from what I've read we were poor, I think we will need to sign a quality striker and either get Ross on side or swallow the pill and sign Siggy. Then hope that Koeman can find the right formula and get them going.

I think it's more likely that Me Levy is waiting till the last minute with a take it or leave it offer.

He does love to save a penny or two.

To be fair they put 5 across the box and stifled us all night but we did show a lack of imagination.

Going to the Seville game tomorrow should be a good workout for the boys and we should have a better idea to where we are at. Excited for tomorrow in that I am taking my five year old grandson and granddaughter to their first match

Good workout for the lads today played really well first half and shaded it, but when the changes came in the second half we fell apart at the back but to be expected with six changes I suppose. Pickford to me is the best money spent, distribution is first class comes for the ball makes it his. When he punches he always seems to clear his lines. Good solid game and the guys have faith in him.

Picture of the little one ready for the game

[hilly10]

I know it's not the ideal source but some of the press are saying that the Sigurdsson deal is danger of collapse, just hope it's settled soon.

I fully expect a deal for Barclay to come out of the blue as he is not wanted by RK

Just hope we hit the ground running on Saturday COYB

[Fast Bug]

It seems to have gone quiet on the signings front. Koeman says he wants 3 plays + Sigs, we need to get it done as we're heading in to the season with a lack of firepower up top

[hilly10]

Get in Wayne, he is back

[TTmonkey]

Great day.
Welcome home Wayne.
A goal a game record so far in the PL.


Can't think what other news cheered me up earlier today. I know it was something.
