I got shot down the other day for questioning how good

[Dorset Gooner]

Gustavo is if Bayern are happy to let him go. Yes Bayern are CL holders but he played around 16 times for them last season.
I haven't seen enough of him but £18m for a squad player doesn't get my juices going, sorry.

[Pat Vegas]

and this bloke seems to be one of the areas we could do with strengthening. not a very exciting signing but a good one imo.

Now if we can get a striker we'll be alright.

The defence without putting a curse on it looks pretty good.

And Other than a twitter rumour there's nothing concrete that we were in for him anyway.

Part of their team.

Everyone used to get excited about seeing that big swathe of green. There used to be a feeling of expectation and the promise of some excitement. A cup run, a big European night, even, perhaps, the chance of winning something!

It's just rubbish now. 3,000,000 people grinding away at my interest with their sub-teenage whinging. I'm really, really not interested any more. The whole experience is just surrounded by negativity.

Thanks for that, everyone.

[Dorset Gooner]

you did mention he was good at the confederations cup on that basis we should sign Gervinho :-)

about signing Lee Chapman & look how that turned out. Now I find lowering expectations is what suits.

[Hillary]

gets so ridiculous.

And they share the same position. Just because Bayern rate Martinez higher doesn't mean Gustavo isn't still very, very good.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

So, thanks very much.

Package as are the games these days. A poor performance in the window carries the same amount of criticism as a poor 3-0 defeat.

[PSRB]

mostly the free booze in the box at Everton

I'm just a little frustrated that, yet again, we seem to be 1 or 2 players of that extra quality from winning or certainly challenging for something. Plus everyone likes a couple of new signings, I was excited about Cazorla, Podolski and Giroud last season

[Dorset Gooner]

but hey ho never goning to please everyone.

so you can relax for a few hours.

Back page of the paper for signings or when the Highbury announcer broadcast it before kick off. Bob McNab was my first memory of such a signing. Appy day's.

unless it's about food. If it's all a joke, it's a fairly repetitive one and not very funny.

[PSRB]

I now have access to enough streams or Sky/BT that missing watching the match just doesn't happen. The void I have is the whole matchday experience of meeting up with everyone beforehand and after......don't get me wrong I get a bit of that at Everton but it's not the same

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm going on holiday for most of the winter to avoid it.

that a football match was about to ruin a perfectly good drinking session

Not saying I was arguing particularly hard against your point, though I did manage to make it to the ground for kick off.

[Snin]
