why oh why are we so so bad at the transfer market, players we want we go in with a fiver and a packet of custard creams, and players that we receive offers for we put the most outrageous prices on them, if Eddie is 25million than im going to value myself at 5million given that Eddie is a half decent baller but just not at the level required and i'm a 1/4 decent baller and still not at the level required!!

What biscuits would you recommend offering instead to seal the deal ?

Personally, I would only go as far as a packet of chocolate orange fingers but no higher !

Anyway, if you want top, top, top players you've got to splash out on (steady...) Rockys.

Decent enough addition for the squad to cover Tierney.

He mentioned “project “ 2 0r 3 times in his welcome speech, so he is firmly on board.

Well, if this doesn't turn us into title challengers, I don't know what will.

I'm fairly sure brainwashing is illegal under the Geneva conventions maybe we can raise this about Arteta at the War Crimes Commission in the Hague :rubchin:

I'll try anything to be rid if him :lol:

James Maddison’s representatives expect a move & an attempt from Arsenal in the coming weeks to sign the player. The club have offered Maddison a four-year plus an option of another year, a salary of nearly double of what he earns at Leicester & the #10 shirt. [@TheAFCBeII] #afc https://t.co/wMxh2TvirD

This would be quite a good addition so I'm doubtful it'll happen. We've at least heard of Maddison.

My only reservation would be his injury record. He seems be be made of glass.
