For some reason, the memory of driving back from Ikea with the radio on listening to the transfer unfold sticks with me.
There's something about being filled with meatballs and rage.
Don't mind Stoke these days since they became a footballing side.
All the best Kevin. Would have been gutted if you went to fucking WBA.

Best of luck, Wimmer!
So did both WBA and Stoke put in £15m offers and Wimmer chose Stoke?
To an American, that like choosing between Buffalo and Des Moines or something along those lines.
We sold our best player to let Real Madrid sell a world class player, at least on that time, to the scum. And using the scum money to pay us. Everything from 2013/2014 is honestly sickening.
Sad to see Wimmer go, will be a great signing for Stoke, Goodluck big Kev
The discussion needs to be gauged in terms of expectation. If we are happy with being a nearly team like last two seasons we are very fine. If we are talking about winning the title, we are a little short. It is that bit require to move us over the line. Added pace up-front can be that bit lacking.
Base on last season, we have been consistent. We can destroy average teams, but struggled against some of the top teams. When met with quality, we needed something more.
Against top teams we might be lacking in other areas but pace up front appears more glaring. We broke away slower than teams like Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool etc. I cannot take the argument that we choose not to break fast and stick to patient build up. Walker or Rose might not contribute directly to goals but their fast runs stretch teams and open up space.
Agree pace alone means nothing. Then again we are talking about winning title, hence we are talking about players with pace and skills. Aguero, Jesus, Lukaku, Mane, Sane are such players. Sissoko all pace no skill, Vincent good skill no pace.
The argument is, get someone with both. Of course such ready players are either to expensive or too high salary. Hence Levy and Poch strategy is to get young unproven but great potential ones. I think we just have to accept that.Again,given a choice I will take an unknown with pace rather than without, skills level aside.
Lemar anyone?

What a shame. Should have fuck kept going w that family name. Had awsome start w our Dembelle. So those three Dembelles are all real brothers? Or just same last name?
None of them are related.
You know you need to strengthen when the only option to bring on for goals is Sissoko. Sorry guys but our subs bench is so weak. It's something we need to address next week.
Taking this long to make signings has probably cost us a minimum of two points, now. I'm not even saying there's no rationale for it, but how important could those two points be in May?
Signings aren't costing us points, it's a mentality thing with the players
As i said earlier in this thread...it does make a massive differene bringing our new signings in early in the window. Levy again doesnt get it and would rather save a few mill here and there which has the danger of costing us points (and it has done this season). Sacrifising a poor start to the season to save a little ££ is small time and its why the bigc clubs don't do it.
Not having a Walker replacement in three games into the season?
We knew he was leaving months ago and still fucking wait until the last minute to replace him. It's beyond a joke.
The one caveat to that is if Aurier was our number 1 target - and it always had to wait until August due to his appeal date...
Still a fucking risk to take (if that's the case), and one that's backfired.
Aurier is crucial.
Trippier showed how limited he was last week, but he was hideously exposed today against a team he should be doing well against.
I think the quicker we integrate Sanchez in the team the better, just due to his pace. i imagine his inclusion will come in with the addition of Aurier.

There's no cast iron guarantee we'll replace him yet. We still have to get Aurier into the country.
I'm sure things are pretty solid contractually between us and Aurier (pending a work permit) but, if you're Conte or Mourinho looking at us today, you're going to want to see if there's any way of disrupting that deal.
I get the sense they feel Trippier's an adequate replacement for Walker though they still have to bring someone in for squad depth. It was a horror show today on the right
