If we make only one big signing will you be satisfied?

Yeah that's Taylor. Ben Davies played most of this season because Taylor had a pretty horrible ankle injury at the start of the season. I've heard pretty good things about Davies too to be fair.

I don't think he has. He made 37 league appearances last season.

Watch him bang in a couple for Napoli at the Emirates.

"We were very close to signing him"

Will the other "very close" virtual signing Drogba be on display that weekend too?

Surprised they got £34.5 mil (apparently) for him. Have to say it's a bit on the steep side for somebody desperate to leave but still - I'd rather that than sign nobody or pick up a shit player for £10m. Also reckon we could've probably got him for less had we gone in without fucking around.

Of course we could. He was ours if we wanted him. Somewhere between £25m and £30m would have got him before Napoli sold Cavani. But oh no......lets do a Mata and fuck around, and fuck around some more, until the sodding cows come home, then do the mad trolley dash and spend the same amount of money on 2 or 3 players who are just sodding makeweights from Ligue 1.

I guarantee you that there will be no £20m+ signings this Summer. Williams will be our most expensive signing, then Remy, then a backup keeper from the back of beyond and Aurier for about £8m

You see Steve0, we were never really in for him, were we?

I'm starting to think that he must have forgotten about this medical he's had booked for 5 weeks with us

His plane from Madrid that he was supposedly taking to London seems to have spent the last 5 weeks circling over the Bay of Biscay before diverting to Naples...

:barscarf: But it's the many different and creative ways in which they do it that appeals to me.
