Carroll is a horrific drain on resources. A reported 90k a week for a player who has 80 league appearances and just over 20 goals in 4 seasons is nothing short of unacceptable. If anyone is willing to cough up 8 figures for him we should bite their arm off. Fucking hell, that's 5 goals per season. ...

First of all I will say I do not dislike Noble as a player, he is...alright. Not good, not poor but alright. He is about good enough for us, Palace, WBA etc. So an integral part of a team who spent most of last season pushing for a CL spot is 'about good enough' for us, Palace, WBA rather than say ...

Every village has to have an idiot. Shame we've got the Spuds... they have got plenty to spare though.

Playing devils advocate... £4.2m a year is less than sick note AC makes and we signed him 2 years ago. Times and budgets have moved on and agents and players know this. I'm not criticising the club for sticking to a wage structure, but the likes of Bacca, Batshuayi and Lacazette won't be jumping on ...

Yet to see any kind of 'statement of intent' in this transfer window -- which was what was promised, wasn't it? Players waiting for a CL team is just another way of saying the wages aren't up to snuff. Batshuayi didn't go to Chelsea for guaranteed first team football or to play in the CL. Marquee si...

Aah, you think they are not good enough for us. LOL. #Deluded

They're plenty good enough for you Spuds. Just don't want them at West Ham.
As for deluded? Talk about fucking irony.

Walcott and Chamberlain £50 - 60 million.

One less sick note at the club is good business. Anything over £10m is daylight robbery.
No hard feelings about Sakho from me. If the last week has shown anything it's that the club hierarchy can be just as fickle and disloyal as the mercenaries that pass for players these days.

Borja Baston's still knocking around. Under 25. Nearly 20 league goals for Eibar last season. Big lad. Final year of his contract at A.Madrid. Doesn't look like Atletico have any plans for him.
Would've been my first choice if I were picking our transfer targets.
