Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

It's got to be bollocks but if Chelsea really offered Torres plus €50m cash for Cavani then that makes Torres worth not more than€13m or about £11m. Now at that price he must be worth a punt.

I had heard from my Arsenal mate at work that Wenger wants Torres and Rooney as his new strikers. Torres could do well with a team around him that play a more fluid style.

he's signed for cardiff....

I reckon he will take Premier League by storm playing for someone like Cardiff where he is guaranteed to start every game. £7.5m is going to be 37.5m this time next year if he is a success. I think we will be moving in then.

Has anyone watched this Bruma kid we've been linked with incidentally ?

He's like a quality version of Zaha.

How about Darren Bent as a cheap option for 4th as villa want shut of him or has he gone completely crap and not worth a punt?

Remember this guy from some youth tournament but can't claim to know much about him. Youtube anyone?

That's between £400/500 thousand pounds-a-week in wages. Not going to happen at the gonners.

Playing in the current U20s tournament for Portugal. Been on Eurosport. Hard to judge re the opposition, but from what I've seen he's the sort of kid who could step right into a Premier League squad because he's fucking fast & tricky. Could imagine him doing a SWP & creating a bit of panic.

Left sided as well. Rumours Chelsea have got a bid in. I like the look of him. Lively little fucker.

Net is full of stories we are just about to sign Negrado for about 23 mil quid btw. (not cheap I know).

You and I know that but would Pelli be bothered?

Rumours circling we've signed Negredo for £23m

If we've got Negredo then him and Guidetti with Aguero and Dzeko should be enough

Loic Remy looked decent for QPR last season, would definitely be worth a punt. Quick, strong, powerful and a decent finisher. That's playing in a shit side too
