Sadly our team looks no better than last season even with all the new players, worse in some cases, and that is my biggest worry.
Too much hoofball once again to AC, we seem to play better football when he is on the bench and our defenders cant hoof it so much.

Free signings fall into two sections, the good ones cost an arm and a leg in wages, we have none of these.
The second section is the one we have where most are average at best, and you hope one makes it.

Good or bad, I do not think he is the player we wanted or needed, we should have kept our £20M and waited there is still two weeks left in this window, we need another striker more than ever.

After last nights shocker, I wonder if Nordtveit will live to regret his statement?

Sadly I think it is going to be a very tough season, based on the way we played last night, playing in the Europa League, and the players we have brought in so far, not one new player excites me, they seem average at best.

Reid is getting worse, not worth 5 last night, when he is bad he hoofs it, when he is good he hoofs it, but sometimes AC finds it. We need defenders who can pass a ball, sadly last night it was just hoof, BFS could have been manager. Nord & Tore were terrible, bring back Obian & Antonio up f...

All looked as bad as each other tonight, I think most free signings are free for a reason, the chance of picking up a diamond are few and far between. Ayew looked like he wanted to be somewhere else, even before he got injured. Arthur improved a bit as the game went on, but poor old Antonio, if I wa...
