Didn't realise he was related to Jay Jay Okocha.

Personally not that bothered about Zaha but less impressed by the CB situation.

A bit like the Sissoko situation this.

Zaha staying at palace according to SSN

Get the feeling that we were counting on pulling that off ?

It's not like Maguire going for 80m means I am worth 1m though - it's just that Utd didn't think they could find a better defender / leader - demand is high and supply low. It's like there is a really steep curve on the quality side where cost goes up very quickly above a certain level. Still...

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of beating up on Bernard too - but the left side of our midfield was great - needed better finishing from a striker (sure, and Bernard could chip in more). Richarlison on the right and Bernard on the left was pretty good I thought.

Seems harsh to beat up on Walcott so much - he has, at some point, been a top-class player.

Centre-back is the most interesting dilemma now, if we can get Zouma back I'd be happy. Wide-forward would be good. Right-back is a funny one because we will be putting them on the bench unless we spend loads to get somebody better than Coleman. We had an understudy and sent him on loan ! (Kenny)

Just imagine how big that guys suitcase would be by now if he was still with us.

Is this preference for the better players from PL teams below us just because we can't be bothered trading with foreigners - or is it a 'better the devil you know' sort of thing - because they are pretty expensive.

Well, so far, we've done a good job selling our better young prospects, retaining the players we don't play and weakening our defensive depth by selling Jags and going nowhere with Zouma. Gomes and Delph are positive moves at least - otherwise we are into last minute trading. You have to...

Kean and Gbamin would balance things up a bit - but we still need a CB.

There's a reason PSG are considering 30 million for him though, even though he is probably at peak now and unlikely to improve, it's because he is good at his job and we are going to miss him. Clearly there is more than one way to set up a team but I think we probably need another midfielder...

Thanks Eggs. To be fair, it's not like many of the top premier league clubs have spent much yet. Zouma is a disappointment and knocks Silvas plans - with Jags gone that leaves us with two senior CBs. With Gueye gone we definitely need somebody like him. So until that is all resolved we are...

Sorry to see Robinson go, do our semi-decent left-backs stop at Baines now ?

Well, nowhere hopefully.

Is that Benny Hill ?

Delph not a terrible player, but it would be pretty terrible if he was the Gueye replacement.

I get the feeling that Brands et al will take the time they need to get the players that they want. It's kind of what happened with Digne, Mina and Gomes - then Zouma was a punt at the end. Unfortunate, because it would be better to have the players in early, but that so rarely happens for us...
