Zaha staying at Palace it seems, against his wishes after no one prepared to pay the exorbitant cost they wanted. Be interesting to see whether he accepts it and gets on or sulks until January

I'd wager that Paul knows more about football than you do (And driving to be fair)

I would have a small wager that Paul knows just a touch more about football than yourself ðŸ‘

How the hell would we know? All he ever says is that there's no point discussing anything because we're not professional football managers. What's the point of that? Do you actually think there's any merit in him coming in here and saying that every now and then? I tried to engage in a discussion about the Chelsea squad and he just shot it down so what's the point.

My predictions for the season.....
1 City - Just different class with the best squad and the best manager. KDB hardly featured and is without doubt the number one midfielder in the league. Their dodgy spell was when Fernandinho was injured and they've got a top class replacement/back up in Rodri. Also strengthed the left back slot. The only issue is the centre back area could be short with an injury but I suspect it won't matter. The chance to equal Man Utd and make it three in a row will be a big motivating factor.
2. Liverpool - I think they'll be a fair way off as they've failed to build on last season and I can't see them getting mid 90 points again. Last season was incredible but they had a lot of fortunate goals and kept an unusual amount of clean sheets. The projected goals for and against indicate City are on another level. Having The Ox back will give energy to the midfield and the full backs are top class. However one bad injury to VVD and they're f**ked in terms of a title challenge or even finishing above Spurs.
3. Spurs - Well run side who have bought well. Still short of a back up striker but Son can fill in there. If Kane can stay fully fit they'll give Liverpool a run for second. Dele Alli was woeful last season and if he gets back to his usual level, combined the midfield additions they'll be much stronger.
4. Arsenal - I'm honest this is purely based on Man Utd being a mess and Chelsea having a bang average squad. Arsenal have signed well although probably could've done with another centre back but the style and attacking quality should see them home.
Man Utd have signed well in defence and are building for the future but it's not enough. The midfield is so static and lacking attacking class it's laughable. Up front theres pace but not one world class player. Rashford will be the main man but he's got to improve big time to get 30 goals which is what you expect for a Man Utd striker. Out wide Martial is too lazy/inconsistent and Lingard is a squad player at best. Combine this with a third rate manager with a dated outlook and a mentality firmly set in the past, rather than the future - gone by Christmas.
Chelsea are going to struggle without Hazard. He carried them to fourth and Pulisic isn't anywhere near that level. Throw in injury to CHO and a feeble amount of firepower it'll be tough for such an experienced manager. I suspect Chelsea know it'll be a season of transition and don't expect much.

if you could just let us know weve bought a proper centre half or 3 would be the greatest window ever!

Getting rid of Sturridge,Moreno and Mignolet has instantly improved us. Fact.

Eugh. Not quite Zaha is he
Had so much excitement going into today - hoping we'd get Sidibe, Zouma and Zaha over the line and we've ended up with Sidibe and Iwobi. It's not a total disaster but Zaha would have been fantastic. Oh well, either way it's been an excellent transfer window for us, just a shame we didn't manage to get another CB in.

City have at last got a european cup winner in their squad, hopefully that's the closest they get to one 😉

Iwobi on the left, Walcott on the right. The joy. Can't believe we sold Lookman to spend £40m on Iwobi. I've been dead impressed with Brands and Silva so far, but don't like this move, have never rated him, hope he proves me wrong.
