And still the signings keep coming. First it's Fabian Balbeuna from Corinithians, the Paraguayan centre back who is nicknamed The General (which should go down well with the ICF) and has his own goal celebration. Today comes the real statement signing, Felipe Anderson arriving from Lazio for a massive £36 million. It really will be just like watching Brazil and I like the fact that he started out at Santos, Pele's old club.
I'm almost thinking it's time to stop now seven signings have been made, as we don't want to destabalise the existing squad too much. But credit at last to Sullivan and Gold. The Burnley match protests seem to have shocked them into some big spending — around £100 million so far. Players will need to be shipped out too. But with Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Balbuena, Wilshere, Yarmolenko and Anderson it's going to be an exciting season. We might even be too good to go down…

Yes it is unbelievable spending I am just waiting to wake up!
There has to be some plan afoot with the Dave's maybe if they get us into the top 4 this season they are rewarded by a prince in Q8 buying club, and stadium? you have to wonder!
Anyhow I am remaining calm for the moment and trying to enjoy it all, it is slightly uncomfortable as I have been a plucky underdog supporter all my life, and I would be happy with a top half finish and no relegation talk at all. COYI
