He's an absolute psycho, but he's a strong leader and not a bad bench warmer.

If I was Barton I would see this as his last chance and he should knuckle down and make the most of it.

We need a high profile centre back and a world class forward imo.
I like what he has brought in but a centre back and true replacement for van Persie & Di Maria is what was needed.

 I will never cheer that absolute cunt of a person.
I honestly hope he dies on the pitch.

What about if he single handedly guarantees your chance to throw European football away next year?

 nothing he could do would make me change my opinion of him.

Rondon has signed for WBA. I really don't know much about him at all, except he's a powerhouse and scored a fair few goals last season. Could be one to watch!

I started so I'll finish; Shaqiri to Stoke all done. £12m. Take a bow.

I can! Honestly don't rate him, unproven IMO. Will have a handful of games that he stands out, other than that will be a bit part.

Unbelievable.
Is Peter crouch still there? I bet he can't believe it either.

With Bayern, and to a lesser extent Inter, he had to play according to their tactics. It's no surprise he plays his best football for the national team, where he is the undoubted star. I'd like to think the same would be said with Stoke, where I'd imagine he's been told he will be the main man. Only reason I can see him joining tbh. Looking forward to seeing how he plays!

Will be an interesting one. Lets hope he can do it on cold, windy, rainy Monday night at Stoke........

Who misses out at Utd if Pedro comes in? I was there on sat, despite not being a Utd I go to a fair few home games with the in laws. Mata and Depay looked like they needed to swap, with Mata playing central and Depay out wide. I assume Pedro will replace Young? Still think they need a recognised No.9 tho. Also, not seen much of schniederlin really but was impressed on sat, gets about and likes to get stuck in. Can pass a ball too.

Agreed, Pedro isn't really the position they need is he?
I assume they'd go 4-3-3 with Depay, Rooney and Pedro up top?
