Gotta say congrats to wales for their 3-1 win over Belgium. didn't watch the game so i can't say i know if Lukaku even played but if he did he didn't get on the scoresheet again.

Cracking game Greg, game of tournament so far for me, Lukaku average, Felli missed sitter, Wales played well and they certainly are not a one man team, shame about Ramsey yellow card as will miss V Portugal which I think Wales will win.

Rom looked like he just didn't want it. Robbie Savage nailed it when he said Lukaku just won't fight from the ball, he had a header and was tripped on the edge of the box but barely made a sound about it.

Bit upset i missed it then aha.

i really am of two opinions with Lukaku. he is a very talented footballer and we all know that his stats for his age are comparable to that of Ronaldo etc (goals to games)
but there are games where it just completely passes him by.

2-3 seasons back when we played him on the wing against Arsenal he dominated the game. But i can name any of the 8, 9, 10 games from the back half of the seasons and he just didn't look interested. (we can possibly accuse poor service but i feel he needs to do more)

Give robson kanu a stupid haircut and a Belgian name and he b worth 30mil.

02 Jul 2016 09:41:25
Read this as i was sliding through the recent responses and thought you said Give him a contract.

i personally think he's good enough to push for what we're aiming for (i believe he was released by Reading when his contract expired earlier this year)

but he's been a good player for Wales during the World Cup, would anyone take him on a free?

30 million for Witzel seems very steep looking at tonight's performance.

01 Jul 2016 19:33:02
Trying to find any news on Zlatan signing with ManU on Sly. No luck, just a rumor I guess (thinly veiled sarcasm, you'd think Jose was elected President of Earth or something based on the coverage. Should we all fall down and forfeit our games with ManU next season? )

01 Jul 2016 23:02:03
80/ 1 Jose sacked by Xmas ha ha, may have £2 on it.

02 Jul 2016 12:43:24
he signed back end of yesterday,

goo.gl/QEXfST

Do we fear Utd any more now?
guess we'll have to wait until we see how he plays

Although the answer should be no, we don't fear anyone ;)

First signing is a 33 year old championship keeper, surely as back up to an eventual No 1?

01 Jul 2016 18:19:25
Some people going on about that keeper, firstly media mention it and because palace sign him people moan.
N one knows who were after so just sit back and wait. I couldn't care less never heard of him like everyone else. Transfer window been open one day and were already going on.

Some people have to much expectation. Rk just started let him get in the door, players will be here, we could sign Ronaldo, bale, and god knows who else and people on here would still moan.

We will get are targets, we will be mentioned with every man and his dog don't mean EVERTON have actually gone for him till he has signed.

01 Jul 2016 19:35:31
Of course we would PB. Ronaldo sulks, Bale is not good enough and God would want too much in wages so yeah damn right we'd moan. ;)

01 Jul 2016 20:04:46
Haha like that mate.

01 Jul 2016 16:43:19
£100m to spend the way prices are going it won't get us much.

01 Jul 2016 14:38:10
Looks like Mandanda is going to Palace. Hope this means we're after someone like Fraser Forster. Hennessey and the Northern Ireland keeper have been impressive in the Euros, too. Stekelenberg a decent choice as no 2 keeper if it happens. As long as it's not Hart and I'm not sure if Valdés would be a good fit. Always thought Begovic was a safe pair of hands.

01 Jul 2016 12:48:24
Not only have Palace signed Townsend they have signed Steve Mandanda as well. While were still trying to sign a reserve keeper. Roll on deadline day I think it's going to be a long hard transfer window again.

01 Jul 2016 13:02:09
Christ you are boring aren't you. Take a day off.

01 Jul 2016 13:37:18
I maybe boring, but what does that make you for bothering to mention it.

01 Jul 2016 13:57:17
he is in the process of signing stekelenberg from Fulham, a player he knows from Southampton, his choice was on experience as back up.

30 Jun 2016 23:29:51
not impressed with groziski tonite, thoughts?

01 Jul 2016 08:19:07
Looks a bit like a polish Mcgeady going on last nights performance.

01 Jul 2016 08:19:31
Bags of pace and intelligent cut back for the goal, faded a bit in the second half but looks decent to me.

01 Jul 2016 13:05:27
I wouldn't have been impressed with Ronaldo going by that game. We can all make judgments on one game but it's a bit short sighted.

01 Jul 2016 14:48:50
At least looks like a grafter and both sides played over cautiously last night. Had good movement off the ball, didn't get a lot of service when he was quite often in a decent position. Plays with the ball very close to his feet, with deft control and has good pace, but didn't see him combine the two very often. Surely a bit better than McGeady, as he tracked back to defend well, but lacks the flair of Mirallas. To be honest, I think we need two Left Wingers, as we don't really have anyone that has convincingly filled that position, since peanuts. I'd take Grosiki for £8M though, if that is indeed the fee.
