rumours are both lanzini and payet could be available for the citeh match this weekend should we pick them? obviously fully fit its a yes but coming back from injury in such a tough match should we leave them out and try and stifle citeh and get a 0-0 and hope the international break which follows sees them fully recovered and chomping at the bit for there first league appearance at the new ground against Watford?

all this talk of zaza and bony etc. what about Van Persie? wouldn't cost nearly as much as either of those two and can't be a more proven goalscorer. getting on yes, but still got a couple of seasons in him.

Happy Birthday to the Ginger Pele....................as a player he does what it says on the tin...COYI's

Juventus have changed there stance about wanting £25million upfront and so now offering him in a loan deal and further option to buy for£19million at the end of it...this one may happen as we no sully loves a loan deal

Lets stop dithering and sign him on a permanent 10year contact not loan. Scores goals and is a beast.

whats the opinions so far? i have to say i had to check if he was playing yesterday as i don't remember seeing him touch the ball for 90 mins. coming from the bundesliga he should be o.k with the pace of things in the prem, just not seen much participation from him so far.

Just heard on Talksh**e that bilic has admitted he cannot build a team around carroll because he is always injured anyone else think the writings on the wall for him now? bilic has not rushed him back got him training well he plays games and scores but it would seem no matter what they try he keeps getting injured....now I doubt it will be this season but I am pretty sure that shipping him out along with Valencia/sakho are now what will be concentrating his mind long term...

Like to know your views ,i thought he was solid enough ,Tore ? I think he'll improve ,bit lightweight though and a bit laking in confidence, Val ?,i kept thinking a goal would do wonders for him but im afraid whatever he had its gone ,Collins solid as a rock ,Noble just keeps on inproving ,one or two slip ups but overall a powerhouse , my motm ,we may not have the best back four in the prem but pound for pound and what ive seen so far their up for the taskforce

He was a good striker before whatever took his mind off the job. Then g and s announce we need a top striker and give him the hump. No excuse for his reaction but seeing now as each striker we were linked with has gone up in smoke did G and S balls this up? Shuld they have just bought a striker and kept quiet about it instead of slighting sakho? Bottom line is we could really do with sakho right now.

Any Carroll injured yet again. Crisis? what crisis? Very disheartening news. What a mess we are in?
