He's spent over £200m on players under 25 since he went to United.
10 Ml was the right price for him.

Aye, can't complain about an opening day win
Hope Raith make it back to the Championship - although naturally I also hope we make it out of it - this season. Got a bit of a soft spot for you guys with family at Kirkcaldy, and us sending a few players like Russell and that down the years.

Arsenal fans, the punching bag of everyone else when we're underperforming lol. It's a love hate. I'll legit be sad when Wenger goes which is why it was glorious he signed on for 2 more years
I am pretty serious. I think it's just going to be sad when the Fergie/Wenger era is finally over and we're just stuck with frauds and 3 year club jumping managers.
Hah, I'd expect them to still be at it. Footie tops are getting crazy expensive these days.
There's never a reason to be a full kit wanker, even kids agree. So a top is enough.

It's Hamilton away that worries me. Think we'll just about manage tomorrow, but the performance on Thursday night proved that we need a better goal threat. Stockley isn't cutting it and Rooney has been miles off the pace for a while, if he even plays.

When he goes it'll be a literal end of an era. Premier League will never be the same again, neither will Arsenal.
The PL price is double everything now. When teams get nearly 100 mil just for TV rights that is always going to be the case.

The players do really need to try and win something big for his send off. I was always happy Fergie got another title before he went, thanks to Van Persie lol
As much as Arsenal have been underperforming it probably would have been tragic if Wenger had left last season after all the hate all season. Some fans need to calm it a bit and accept Wenger was always up against Fergie and they did trade blows. Arsenal had some spells of winning everything. The issue for them right now is an EPL title needs to come shortly.
Okay, under 21, then.
Given our current squad we should theoretically piss all over League One. I've followed Raith long enough to know that might mean mid table though. Still decent gaffer these days so should make it back up. Championship will be tight this year. You boys, Dunfermline, Falkirk and St Mirren will all be up there. You might wave at Dundee on the way past judging by today's performances.

If we can keep Alexis and get someone like Lemar, I really fancy our chances of at least a serious title challenge
He selects them from the academy instead.

im going to say that liverpool is winning this season
It's solid though. No excitement in it but they will be very hard to beat at this level.
I was more on about the average age haha

Yes. City wanted him but we snatched him at the last moment.

I'm not sure a manager from now will ever have the longevity him and Fergie enjoyed (?).

People love referring to their clubs as "we". Due to this, we have a footy gaf members google doc. I have made it open for everybody to edit for a short while so everybody can show their allegiances before the start of the new season.
I'd make it so that this link is only viewable to GAF members, to avoid vandalism.
Use email tags to accomplish this.

Yep, completely agree. Clubs are too quick to sack managers nowadays.
Nothing special,he's one of the 3-4 Players that we need to get rid off this summer.

That would be preferable but the squad's still not as strong as it could be and if we get past Hoffenheim, there's the extra CL games to contend with too.
Lemina out , Matuidi in?

Origi could have had two already against Bilbao.

What makes it a fact? Are you in the know and part of the boards? You wasn't there when he signed the contract so you wouldn't know anything just like the media doesn't know. It's common knowledge that teams sign players on long contracts to get the best value for them when other teams come knocking on the door.

I think it's probably Man City's title to go for this season. Peps chance to prove he isn't a fraud lol.
I'm doubting Chelsea to retain it. I think Man Utd will do better than last season but I'm still worried about Lukaku stepping up at the club with Champions League football in the mix too.
It's going to be an interesting season, I'm a lot more excited than last season.
Because the board and manager have come out and said. Both the board and the manager have talked to the local Echo hear and also Jeremy Wilson (he is a trusted reporter for Saints). Both have said we are signing players on bigger longer contracts to make it so we can keep them and only want to add one or two players.

Ugh,maybe but i'm hoping for something better honestly.

Huh so Firmino took the pen even though Milner was on the pitch.
Also lol at our defending.

You can buy Gardos of us instead of Van Dijk if you want? He has played 2 first team games in about two years and when he isn't injured is getting ripped apart playing for the U23s. Guy is the biggest waste of money ever.
