Are you happy with Rafa's signings so far?

Could have been better, could have been worse. I can see why he's been annoyed as he'd identified cheap/frees only for the club not to get the deal done at the beginning of the summer. Despite that, I think it's been plain to see we're not going to spend big (fees or wages) compared to the teams who were in the PL last season. At the moment I'd have us touch and go to stay up, with another first team forward and a starting keeper I'd like to think we'll be lower midtable but not scrapping.

Got to admit I know little of Lejeune or Merino but the former looked good until Kane knacked him.

Just as pressingly we need to get all of the shite that Carr & former managers stacked up off the books which isn't helping - De Jong, Riviere, Saivet, Haidara, Colback, etc.

The Ginger Pirlo??... Was a massive swoop of our best player, as I recall.

He's one of you.

He has to stay.

The new Stevie Taylor.

Will be yours for years to come.

How many keepers has he signed? You'd think the worlds greatest manager would have found a decent one by now

Aye, no better than what was currently there and had a few bad games and got loads of abuse on Twitter so deleted his account. Meanwhile Darlow is full of mistakes and people think he's brilliant. For me, Krul is the best we've got, but obviously Benitez doesn't rate him.

World class management in action -

1) fail to persuade the players you want to sign that they should sign for you
2) tell everyone that the players you have signed aren't the ones you wanted, that will surely motivate them

What a clown!

Krul is the best you've got, it's not even close.

Sent him out on loan last season "to regain his fitness" and now he's training with the reserves. They have fallen out and be keeping it private. It's a baffling footballing decision

You are a baffling football club. It's like why does a Pratt like you spend your time on here ?
