Lallana is a squad player Brendan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only divs disagree. Or they want to prove Lallana really is a 25m player, even though it keeps backfiring. Sakho?

Ian Ayre writes in a loyalty bonus to someone who was always such a gamble because we might end up wanting to get rid. Great at transfers, isn't he..

Sorry to be doom and gloom, but I see a massive problem with Firmino. For the songwriters that is. He's too good not to earn a song soon, and it should be different from Coutinho's.

This. The final word. This was the worst overpayment to Southampton, I fear. Lovren might turn it around, but Lallana just doesn't have it. A knid of Downing-level player -- got allround skills, gets good stats, but neither fast, nor strong, nor outstanding in anything.

A collymoreesque debut goal but this time from our player of the year of last season. Can for Lallana changed the dynamics. Can't wait for Firminho to start. Lovren did well. What's up with Sakho? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's why Lovren is in the running to start next Sunday, God help us

I don't know why people are negative about him. He came from City not Newton Heath United, and I very much doubt he has come to retire like Ince did. Our midfield is going to be much better this year, as well as our attack. It is at the back where I have concerns, with Lovren looking like our back-up to Skrtel and Sakho.

Emre Can won't hang about then. I think it will be 4-3-3 for most games. Can in, Lallana out, but maybe this formation will be used in easier games.

I reckon he can do really well, but it will be interesting to see if Brendan can get the best out of him when he usually likes short, slight players such as Allen, Borini and Coutinho, of which only the last has been an undisputed success. In a way we need Benteke because of this -- so teams get scared of us rather than thinking they can bully us.

Benteke is more of a Collymore than a one-dimensional Heskey. He is additionally good in the air with his head. Someone proven in the premier league, who scares defences and scores for fun, when we can't afford another gamble on a goalscorer. I'm in.

I'm waiting for the ink to dry. Looks like a Chelsea gazump opportunity if he is anything near as good as his Youtube videos. We'd also need City to hurry up with that 50m.

Danny Ings will work his socks off as much as Dirk Kuyt while also probably scoring more goals. He certainly has better ball control, pace and finishing than Dirk. I think he will become even more popular than Dirk because of that combination.

Didn't stop him signing for Arsenal ahead of us at that time. It would have to be Walcott plus lots of cash, perhaps 40m plus one pound, Mr Wenger?

He is far too arrogant to consider us. Tabloids trying to build us up for a fall, with next week's headline -- Milan steal Ibra from Kop.

He was our marquee signing last year, but if the Kovacic stories are true even Brendan is asking the same question. I can't see where he fits in other than wing back once Hendo is holding and Milner is to the right with Kovacic to the left, if he comes that is.

FSG take them down one by one. Brendan next?

On today's showing Walcott would be a lot better for us than Benteke. If Sterling goes to Arsenal, this transfer committee will probably end up letting Walcott go to the Mancs, leaving us with a Belgian Carroll.

29 in September. No profit for FSG to be made on him, silly.

Yup, we're all klopping at straws as usual.

so that's why the lads were so happy singing in Dubai, and it wasn't just Stevie and Kolo's celebrations for opposite reasons?

Auction him off to the highest bidder and try to delay till after we've tried to get our targets

It is how he is doing it that is the problem. Similarly how we deal with it will determine whether we take full advantage or end up being bummed again.

We need to make a statement this summer. If it isn't a new manager with a high profile, then it will have to be players. Buy someone like Vidal, tell Raheem pursuers to fuck off and banish him to the reserves until he starts playing. It might be easier and more cost-effective to change manager of course.
