I can't stand the man generally, but I do love watching Mourinho's spin his masterful web of highly-sophisticated mind games and watch British journalists stuck like bluebottles with their ar5es in the air for it.

Yes, of course Jose, West Ham's signings (one loan, one free confirmed so far!) make us title contenders!! But for Manchester United - last year, literally the most expensive squad ever assembled in football history with another c.£110m on two more players so far this summer - it's going to be very, very tough unless they spend a lot more money! You'll do so well if you can just nudge your way into the top 4 this year, Jose - good luck!

Sometimes there isn't. Nordtveit was integrated early last season and was one of our best players in pre season games. Feghouli and Tore were signed early too if I recall correctly.

If anyone speaks Germen here the original source:

Interesting that our interest in Jack Wilshire is mentioned in an article based around an interview with Jurcevic.

Neves and Gonalons I would have said were probably out of our reach a month ago, for different reasons - one was the next big thing and the other was captain at a club with a notorious hard man to negotiate with.

One's now at Wolves and the other cost €5m. Shows what I know.

I tried to stick 100 on Arnie at 12/1 but they only allowed £20.83 max bet (very specific!). So £270 there. I then got on him again at 5/1, and then 9/4. I think it's about 500 total.

I also jumped on Chicharito when he was something like 5/4. £90 on to win £202.

Quit clearly, all of this means only one thing.

Jinxed is a proven legend.

To compare The Terminator to another deal that's being done elsewhere - £25m is reportedly Arsenal's valuation of Calum Chambers.

I certainly know who I'd rather we spent a fee of that size on.

In Jinxed we trust - thanks mate.

Thanks all for the info - if we do get Arnie and Chicha over the line we will be shaping up for (hopefully) a great season and Aztec will be treating himself!

I think Marko Arnautovic looks like Joel Kinnaman.

Which means he might not only be The Terminator, but Robocop as well. A big coup.

Didn't West Ham and Leverkusen both say he was flying in on Monday?

Be amazing if they brought it forward but I imagine Sky are just wrong.

That, or 'Monday' was a smokescreen because Keita is booked in for a medical then :lol:

I think Neves has only gone to Wolves because of the strong relationship their owners have with Neves' agent. Very strange deal by all accounts!

At least he didn't have to stand outside I suppose.
