Other clubs' transfers

This really has to be bollocks. It's insane.

I dunno, I'm not convinced by Palace. Take Eze and Doucoure out of that team and it's very, very ordinary. I don't think they'll be in trouble but I don't think they're any better than us.

How would you know. You’re insane!

Chicago: Skeptical.

Solid comeback.

Andersen is solid but nothing special, Guehi and Olise might be but have some distance to go, Schlupp is a jack of all trades but not all that good at any of them, Lerma is irritating and streaky, Ayew is a diving turd, Edouard has yet to show he can produce at this level.

My point stands. Take Eze and Doucoure away and they're not troubling anyone.

If the whole team dies in a bus accident then I think the team will be significantly weaker..

Chicago: Playing the odds.

Brings to mind a business trip to Riyadh years ago. We were in the hotel on Friday morning musing what to do with our day off, the staff had nothing positive to suggest but did advise that if we were going out we might want to avoid the central square as there was a beheading taking place.

Are there any women here today?

I like Lerma and wouldn't have been at all disappointed if he'd ended up at Forest.

Well Liverpool want Doucouré so you can add him to the list too. Palace have plenty of Dougie Freedman recruited players that I would bite their hands off if they were recruited for Forest.

Palarse will be fine.

Chicago: Slightly envious.

Important part of their promotion, but there's a reason he left on a free - Bournemouth didn't think he was worth the money he wanted, and they had good first hand knowledge of his value.

He was already on the list, hence me saying

Doucoure is a class player.
