Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

Prefer Lacazette and Janssen to Vardy personally.

I havent seen much of either, so I cant comment about them. I do not think Vardy was the answer either, but if Watford can turn down that much money for an above average striker, then 20 million for a '29 year old possible one season wonder' seems like a steal!

I guess so but then the offer is from a Chinese club and they pay over the odds for all footballers, wasn't impressed with Vardy playing for England at all, think he'll struggle to get goals next season, so I'm very glad we won't have to put up with him next season on top of everything else.

Fair enough. Would have been nice as a signal that we were going to go back to a counter attacking style of play like we did in 01/02 and the unbeaten season. But on the whole wasn't a potential signing that ever had me rubbing my hands with glee.

True, Watford also quite rich club. And the fact that someone is prepared to pay that money for Ighalo shows that there isn't a great deal of quality strikers at the moment.

Especially when you throw in the Leicester bids for Deeney and Watford turning them down.

You should search for Zlatan's comments comparing Jose and Pep. Nothing but scorn for Pep's style of management but he loved Jose. Luckily, Zlatan hasn't got long left in his career so it's unlikely there is enough time for real friction to develop. But we can only hope.

No thanks - don't want those two massive cunnies coming up as suggestions in my browser every time I search for something that starts with an ''m" or a "z". I'll just take your word for it...

Zlatan - It is time for me to tell the world, I am coming!

Who gives a fuck? You were useless during the Euros matey.

Chortle!

He's better than most of the "world class" strikers doing the rounds. Could have been an Arsenal legend, decided he wanted to win stuffbe a cunt instead.

Zlatan is bound to have a few moments for them given he's such a maverick but I don't think there's any chance he'll deliver the kind of numbers he did for PSG. The difference in competitiveness between the PL and Ligue 1 (or more specifically PSG and the rest) is night and day.

Still sucks to see him there though, he is a great player and will add a sharper edge to their blunt attack.
