Shame really. When he first came in, I was excited at the prospect of what he could do for us, but that was because I was thinking about the Liverpool version of Coutinho. And I suspect Gerrard and Purslow thought the same. Injuries have plagued him and maybe that's why Barca were quick to do...

seems to be alot of talk of Digne going to France - he's been brilliant so far, I hope we can keep him beyond the transfer window - him and Moreno would be great options to have available. Think we still need a quality striker as it looks like we may be offloading Archer, we cannot just have...

Another class signing. The squad is starting to take shape. Dare I dream of seeing Villa lift the FA Cup in my lifetime? Any trophy would be fantastic and a top 4 finish (if Newcastle can do it, we can too).

I hope ourselves and teams like Brighton start to break up this "Big 6" monopoly and the league becomes more open and exciting again. Maybe then, $ky will have to stop this fawning over their favourites and start being respectful to all the other clubs. Let's hope Chelsea have another shit...

If we want to snap this guy up, pay the money, if we haggle we might miss out especially if Newcastle and Arsenal up their interest as they can offer Champions League. Diaby could be the difference between top 7 and top 4 if he's as good as they say. And the extra money we spend now will...

I do like the new home shirt but not the hefty £70 price tag. In these times of spiraling household living expenses it would be nice to think football clubs could "give back" to their loyal fans and maybe set a fairer price of, say, £50 for an adult shirt down to £25 to £30 for a kids shirt...

top signing, 2 in and both good additions. Wonder who's next. We should have quite a formidable first 11 with decent subs on the bench for every game next season. Interesting times at B6.

Media rumours seem to persist about Barnes from Leicester for a cut price deal. Leicester have to trim their wage bill. Midfield is not a problem for us but it can be improved with better options. Tielemanns also going to be available (on a free). Any deal has to factor in wages, signing on...

I'ds try and grab Harvey Barnes from Leicester and if need be throw in Bailey as a sweetener. If this deal for the guy from Barca gets done then I expect we'll be splashing the moolah like never before. Reckon we'll be offloading at least 4 first team players to balance the books a bit, my...

My only real concern is if Watkins gets injured, who takes over as our main striker? Would have liked another striker in to replace the now departed Ings. We got half a season to play out with no cup distractions so I just hope he stays clear of injury. A top 10 finish is still achievable...

who do we sub Bailey for? Can't see an option.

the next John Carew maybe?

Thought we'd just signed the former bass player of an 80s pop group when I saw the headline. If he can do the biz for us, it doesn't matter how old he is.

Talking to a Man U fan at work today, and I had to agree with him. Top teams who play a weakened side against a lower league opponent in a cup tie deserve everything they get. Firstly, its disrespectful to the opposition and their fans who want to see their team compete against the best 11 we...

Diego Carlos not ready yet but he'll be like a new signing when he is fit. Need another left back to compete with Digne, midfield is a mess, too many just strolling around or have no vision to pick a pass or dominate so we could change a good half dozen of our squad there. Up front, for all his...

The morning after the horror show I witnessed on BBC i-player. I've gone from down right angry to still generally pissed off and embarrassed. So what now? Firstly I'd love to see those responsible for that shit show on the pitch fined a month's wages for having the nerve to think the game was...

A top notch striker and a proven winger to supply the ammo. Plenty of deadwood we need to move on such Nakamba, Sanson and others who will likely never appear in the first team now. And of course we'll be close to getting Kamara back to full fitness with Carlos hopefully back in the side in...

Time for the heirarchy to show us they really do mean business. They took a punt on Gerrard in the hope that his reputation as a top player would transfer to him being someone who could bring in big names to the club. For whatever reason it has not worked out - that happens. But if we appoint...

Sell him, we have enough midfielders, he's hardly been on fire the past few seasons. Whether that is because we haven't played him in his best position - I'd have had him a bit more advanced - or whether he is just not as good as we all thought he might have been for an ex-Citeh player, who...

Gerrard obviously wants everyone in place and settled ready for a full pre-season. Isn't it a shorter summer break before the season kicks off again due to the winter World Cup?
