After watching Ivan they probably feel that they can bend us over and charge a ridiculous amount. 

And we would be right to take our bending over, Ivans legs have gone, we already have 2 slow cb' it's far too easy to get at us, Jose will be losing his nut, he doesn't like to condede goals, he has to put pressure now and Roman needs to get his cheque book out 

Yep, i don't understand our approach to this season. Starting pre season late, letting players go and not replacing them, not making the team stronger. Maybe we are a bit too over confident.

Think so..but that's no coming from Jose I am certain, he wants to build a legacy and he knows we have weaknesses, and we certainly arent good enough to challenge in Europe, I don't think Romans cash flow is as good as it once was, ffp is an excuse City and PSG sh*t all over it and get by just fine

What do you feel our medium to long term is then Scott?

When we eventually drop brana is it baba left and Dave right? If so who backs them up?

There is a kid at the club who is widley regarded good enough for the prem already, he just needs to grow a little bit, as for right back, same answer

They are good enough, some people are saying use them now, what they don't realise is being good enough and performing good enough are very different, zouma is a rare case where thrown in at the deep end they perform, It takes time and I think with Rahman and Azpi, they go straight into back up roles and will slowly transition in nicely, get some minutes etc, but we really need an answer for Brana for this season Asap, would be a shame to let our title defence slip when all we need is a couple of affordable players 

Unreliable German newspaper Bild reporting a deal is expected to be completed "imminently".

Let's be honest, all the ones wanting youth brought in instead of spending will be the same ones moaning come January if we are 5th 6th, and shouting for signings.

Is there such a thing as a reliable newspaper?

Some report gossip a lot less than others.

I'm more inclined to believe something in the Guardian than the Daily Mail for example.

Maybe so, some are not even close though. I was only posting yesterday someone on a diff forum wants Clarke-Salter in the first team squad rather than Stones.  Thats more the kind of thing which annoys me

I personally don't even think any of out young center backs are up to it.

Full backs, both are top notch.

Outside of that there is quite a few players you feel given the chance could develop but the reality is that we and give them that opportunity... RLC, no where to be seen yesterday and we haven't even signed any one yet

It wasnt a dig by the way earlier, I agree with the sensible posts re. youth, just some are crazy (like clarke salter one)

 

Id like to see Boga get a loan in Champ minimum

The Daily Mash? 

Lol

He played in the cup competition on friday so he should be at least match fit when (or if) he joins us. 

Bild are saying he will be a Chelsea player this week.

Apparently it is not until "kicker" says so that it's true. Still this deal will happen. Some of Jose's comments recently were clear signs of hurry up. "I am glad I don't have to wait till August 31 to get a backup keeper" hint hint, nuff said, nudge nudge

My Arsenal supporting brother said we've failed as a club if this isn't his song.

I'm amazed he knows what a song is considering he's a Gooner.
