    ;weep would be gutted if Adrian went but would understand why he would .however it would leave a hole and if Hart left after this season ,could turn into our striker problem all over again .and with our luck what happens if Hart gets injured

    Is this our Baz? Not the pic but the twitter account quoted?

    Although I would be disappointed if Adrian left he did make more than a couple of mistakes last year that resulted in him being dropped. I think we needed improvement in the goal keeping dept and if it means we get a new keeper as back up them I am ok with that. It's all talk at the min until Adrian says he wants to go I am not going to worry about it

    Twitter is anti Baz because it only allows short tweets. That's not working for me ;whistle He's an imposter Baz and our only link is that I once had to take a little P in Stepney ;run

    What keeper hasn't made mistakes? I struggle to think of a keeper I would want in the PL apart from a handful who would probably be extremely difficult to attract. While the two might be replaceable it seems like there are an awful lot variables. Adrian was much better at the end of the season when he regained his spot - whoever replaces him, if we do have to start from nothing next season might not settle with us or the league (if coming from outside the PL).

    Adrian's an average PL goalkeeper but so are most of them, including most of the keepers playing for the top teams.

    Outcast,

    Agreed, but I think Hart is above average, which is why I'm saying I'd rather have a top 'keeper for one season, than a dime-a-dozen for the next five, especially if having Hart on loan gives us even a slight chance of signing him permanently.

    I think the idea that Randy and Adrian are decidedly average will be concurred by where they end up, which at best will be bottom five of the PL, backup somewhere else or Championship.

    Don't get me wrong, I really like them both. I just don't think they have any qualities we'll ever miss, apart from being characters.

    Big statement from the club this week

    I'm a little bit nervous with buying these players at the age they are but theoretically they should have 2 more years of their prime (excluding Zab) at least

    4 players who genuinely slot straight into the first XI cannot complain

    I'd be surprised to see many more moves this summer if I'm being honest, maybe a 3rd choice striker like Gray who wouldn't mean we had to break the bank

    Think if we can get that wrapped up maybe see if we can snatch one or 2 prospects that are about for long term views

    In other news I'm 99% sure Feghouli is going which disappoints me (especially for or only £4mil) but can imagine he was on pretty heavy wages and the 4 players we brought in probably added £400k a week to our wage bill so the money has to come from somewhere (although I'd much much much much prefer it to be Snodgrass leaving)

    So three excellent first XI signings.

    Still feel we need that one CM option. We've been going with Noble and Kouyate for 3 years now and Noble, Kouyate and Obiang for the past 2. Need fresh blood in there to bump up competition.

    But other than that, we are well set now, providing one of Sakho/Carroll regain fitness. If we're deciding we need to write them off, then another forward is needed. Gray would be a good back-up striker IMO.

    Just need to shift on a couple now.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    To be honest Carroll's fitness might benefit from not being the number one striker anymore. It can't help being needed every minute possible when your body is as fragile as his.

    We might find he's available more often if he plays less minutes per game.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Sky mentioned today that Brighton made an enquiry for Snodgrass.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    Hasn't worked out for Snod so would rather we sell him and keep Feghouli.

    Feg can whip a good ball in and Hernandez knows how to get on the end of things.

    Yeah agree. I think Feghouli had at lest one very good ball that no one got onto, per game.

    Agree about Carroll. I'd actually rather see him as a sub a lot of the time and think that might be more acceptable now he's not the only player we've splashed a lot of money on.
  • alderzalderz
    Agree on Carroll completely. We know he's been rushed back before, and now that doesn't need to happen quite so much.

    Honestly I would rather keep Feghouli and Snodgrass than change for the sake of it. I am aware I'm very much in the minority, but I feel that Snnkdgrass will still come good.

    If we get an opportunity to sign a better player for the money they each go for, great, but otherwise I would keep hold.

    I wouldn't be opposed to another CM or ST but I think the priority now is working out who our sub keeper is going to he
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Kovacic would secure the midfield though a bit of a pipe dream signing.
    Andre Gray still a good shout.

    Ditch Sakho.
    Feghouli and Snodgrass ditch if decent offers come in.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Rumour this morning is we're going for Dembele of Celtic in a £22.5m deal. Want him to add to Hernandez.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Feghouli will be sold simply to free up the number 7 for Hernandez.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Neither Arne nor chicharito had shirt numbers when unveiled. Not sure if this is normal or not. To me this would suggest some outgoings from the squad to allow shirt numbers to be reassigned

    He'd be good purely for the profit we'd make on him when the big guns poach him in a year or two... Papers also said Marseilles trying to get him but I'd be surprised if bigger clubs than that aren't circling.

    Have we signed anyone yet ;hmm
