Southampton laughing all the way to the bank.

I'm glad Arsenal are finally spending money...but you've over paid for this lad.

Yes mate, you are right. Borini won young player of the year

Do you think it is hard for Poyet to get the players he wants.

Yes, it's so frustrating now. We have signed Bosnians and a cheap full back. We need to spend NOW!

Where else in the team do you think you need to improve steedeel.

Centre back is a absolute must Tob. Williams would have been ideal but never mind. We have experience, we need someone in their prime or approaching it now. A playmaker is also essential. We have Catts who is a guaranteed starter so we need a bit of flair and someone with a eye for a pass alongside him. Right back needs to be addressed as well because I haven't got great faith in Jones. Finally a striker, if Borini doesn't sign.

I like it. I like our away top as well. It's sky blue. Congrats anyway, cool top.

I am super stoked that we signed Lukaku permanently. It may have been a historic fee for us, but I believe it will be worth it in the long run. I'm glad management finally is willing to spend some money to put together a quality squad and to ensure continuity. Can't wait for the season to start.

So we drew against Preston today and Vardy was taken off early - we've got a REALLY tough start to the season and I reckon we'll have no chance at all if we lose Vardy and if we start the season losing our first five or so games then it's gonna make the season even more hopeless for us than I think people already assume it wil lbe.

Yes, good signing that. Wish I could say the same about my team. We have spent 1.5 million so far with the season two weeks away.

Just think what we did last season. Every bookie in the country had us down and nearly every pundit. (To be honest, even I did) even with a tough start momentum can see you over the line. Just do not go back in for M O'Neil if your manager gets the chop.

That sucks. On average do you know how much money your team has at their disposal to sign players before the season starts?

I'd be grateful even if we were the bottom of the middle table, I just want us to last just long enough to start grabbing the prize money and really strengthening the squad.

No, but the natives are very restless mate.

As a Spurs fan I only know too well how important it is to have a good striker (last season was terrible). Congrats to Everton on signing a proven striker.
