Not sure about this guy... a lot of money and seems to have been around a few clubs including Reading who for shot of him.
Very risky.

Amalfitano and maybe O'Brien as well?
Rather we keep Collins not fussed about the other three.

Late bloomer has a lot of potential, a lot of power and scares the sh*t out of fullbacks...

Just seen him interviewed on SSN. Ala Arry from his car. Admin outstanding but virtually signed. He thinks he will be competing with Moses but I can see him, Moses and sakho as a front 3 next game. With Obaing, Koyate and Payet behind. That would leave Nobes, Lanzini et al on the bench with Song still to come.
This is why I think we have best squad ever...
On paper..Pardon?

So that'd be a front six of,
Obiang
Kouyate
Payet
Moses
Sakho
Antonio
There's something about that front 6 that I really like....

Can't imagine Slav will shift his newly appointed captain out of the starting lineup but I'm very happy we've secured Antonio today

Great options.
But Noble and Lanzini aren't being dropped any time soon.

Welcome Michail!
I can see him terrifying defences in the PL this season. Not afraid to have a go and take on tricky shots.
Really likable character who will be a firm fan favourite I reckon.
Can't wait for these internationals to be over so we can get up and running for a proper big season to give the Boleyn the send off it deserves, very excited!!

Noble would always be in my team natch but if we're looking for power and pace for any specific game that is absolutely frightening. Song and potentially Adebayor too.....

I doubt Lanzini will be in the 11 every week

Noble is our Captain mate. He's not going anywhere other than first on the team sheet.

I think the International break will give us more time for the newbies to get acquainted, so it's come at a good time.
