Was either Falcao or Pato. Think both were around the same time, unless I'm forgetting someone else.

Fekir is 5 years younger and gives us much better balance with him being left footed.

To the people saying it's not a good deal because there's no option to buy you have to think that we're only in Europa League so getting a player of his talent into our squad is only a good thing. He's good enough to help us get back into the CL next season where we will get a lot of money for that and then we can either try to buy him on a permanent deal or look elsewhere with the money we have, plus the lure of CL football. Ideally I would also like it if the deal had an option to buy, but it's certainly not a deal breaker for me.

Would love to get him in but can't quite see us getting this one done. The massive fee aside, it would be a fantastic signing.

If we somehow get Fekir in and Kovacic (albeit on loan) it'll suddenly look like a pretty decent transfer window. The keeper problem is still an issue, and I highly doubt we'll land someone like Kepa and instead get Butland, but the first team won't look so bad. Butland Azpi - Luiz - Rudiger - Emerson Kante - Jorginho - Kovacic Fekir - Morata - Hazard That's far from being the train wreck we think we're in at the moment. Of course we would have to land those players, but a first team like that is some what realistic, even at this late stage of the transfer window.

I think 4th is fair. We would have to be at our absolute best all season to break into that top 2. 3rd is reachable, but I think with a new manager and the teething problems that comes with it, 4th would be a great result for us. 1. Man City 2. Liverpool 3. Tottenham 4. Chelsea 5. Arsenal 6. Man Utd

It's purely for homegrown status. He won't even play a match unless something apocalyptic happens.

And, for what it's worth, Piazon was wearing 22.

He looks like a newborn giraffe who is trying to walk for the first time.

He deserved a goal. Would have been nice if he had slotted one.

Pedro crunched that. May have been right at Reddy, but he did well not to spill it to Tammy.

We've hit the post three times. Easily could be 4 or 5-0 up.

Tammy is on for Morata.

You expected Fabregas to score there!

Mine is Melbourne Victory. Been supporting them since day one.

Still looks better than the football he produced last season. :P

Like others have said, the three big ticks for that first half have been Hudson-Odoi, Barkley and Jorginho. It may only be against Perth, but Jorginho looks so classy in midfield. Happy for Barkley as well. I know a lot of people weren't too thrilled with his signing, but there's no doubting his talent and if Sarri can get the best out of him he could be a massive asset to us. And, of course, it's always great to see a kid take his chance, and CHO has certainly done that!

Usually wears number 70.

Hudson-Odoi.

Starting to create a few more chances. Pedro should have grabbed his second, but the build up to these chances is looking promising so far.

That was a delightful ball for Barkley who should have done a bit better tbh.

He's been lively early.

And Pedro has given us the lead!
