That's a great finish. Can quite happily watch either of these teams lose to be fair.

Richarlison is a very decent player, if people just could forget the price tag
I really like him

Big lesson for Wolves this, if this were a Championship match they would have taken advantage of the extra man but too much quality in the Prem, they'll learn.

I think as a club we need to stop worrying about price tags we keep baulking at paying what we think is too much but things change and sadly we have to move with it, we can't keep hoping to find cheap deals in the bargain bin anymore prices are rising even in the championship.

Ricarlison doesn't fit in our team regardless so it would be a pointless signing.

Yep, we've tried to do so in the last few windows with the likes of Janssen, N'Koudou, Llorente etc. But we've more often than not found it to be a risk that doesn't pay off.

I'm not saying we should go and spend £50m on Richarlison, as I still personally think that's not good business and is overly risky for someone who's only had one season in the league and didn't score for so much of it but for someone like Zaha for instance, I think he's worth overpaying for. Of course it will be too much, but you know what you'll be getting, and you know he'd improve the team.

Wolves and Fulham both spent big but also both seemingly have some adapting to do.

I would have loved zaha but you know levy doesn't see it like that he thinks you can offer 15m with 4 copies of razzle and a bag of cough candy thrown in then wonders why the deal can't take place.

Unfortunately so, our future transfer conduct will be very interesting. We'll get nowhere in the market if we continue to keep lowballing.

Plus in only the 20 or so minutes I watched of the Fulham Palace game today, Zaha was great I thought. I have no doubt he would be a good signing.

Today's matches :

1.30
Liverpool : West Ham
Soton : Burnley

4.00
Arsenal : Man City


I'm hoping for a draw at Anfield but don't hold out too much hope, 5Liverpool will probably
steamroller the Mockneys.

Maybe an away win for Burnley ?

Torn with the Emirates match, wouldn't like to see Woolwich win so perhaps a draw is best for us in the long term ?
