Just got back from work after a whirlwind trip to Thailand - overall, dreadful but I can tell you from the crowd I was sitting with, when Joel Robles' name was read out there was a mixture of dread combined with a little bit of hope that he might have improved. Sad to say, he hasn't...

Flying out to Thailand this evening ... looking forward to modelling the new kit too in the stands :D Then back in time for work on Monday lol

My new jersey arrived in the mail today - absolutely love it .. our best strip for awhile. Not bad the time it took to arrive, considering I pre-ordered it a week before it was due out in the UK :D

Agreed that he hasn't exactly lit up the world since arriving in England (Wigan included) but I'm willing to give him a chance as he'll have better service than he ever did at Wigan, plus will have had a proper pre-season. However, if he's still crap by January, sell him.

Bunga Bunga Pato has a good ring to it ...

Brazilian media saying he's available for 9 mill now. Only 1 million difference but it did make me think again.

Besides Fernandinho at Citeh, and Juninho (first spell) at Boro', and possibly Willian at Chelski and Coutinho at the [Poor language removed], how many Brazilians can really be said have been successful in the top flight of English Football? Mirandinha - Newcastle 80s - [Poor language removed] Emerson - Boro - spent half the time...

Wax on, wax off.

Actually, if he's that cheap I wouldn't mind seeing him at Goodison - but not as our out and out forward. He's too injury prone and would probably be battered to high heaven but he could probably do a job in the number 10 role

Always loved Joe Parkinson - he reminded me, in a way, of the tenacity of Reidy in his pomp .. him chasing Roy Keane literally off the pitch in the Cup final is a cherished memory

Bakayoko for me - he was banging in goals for Montpellier before joining us for big money (at the time) and suddenly transformed into Brett Angell. To be honest though, 75% of Walter Smith's signings turned out to be either [Poor language removed] (for us, not later in their careers, i.e. Dacourt, Materazzi) or...

Classiest manager we've had in a long long time

Agreed they're not frightening teams, but like what's been said too, until we know the signings and our actual squad for next season, I really worry that our squad will be so stretched that eventually a decent EL run would/could cause our league results to fall.

Whilst I would love for us to win the EL, given the teams in the competition, I don't think it's realistic: Sevilla, Fiorentina, Dynamo Kiev, Wolfsburg (defos in the Group Stages) Still to qualify and thus be possible opponents: Villareal, Spurs, Borussia Moenchengladbach, Inter Milan, FC...
