Doesn’t change the fact it’s very early and players need to settle. It doesn’t mean it makes it any more fun when it happens, but Emery has a massively proven track record. He knows what he’s doing and when the players bed in we’ll be fine.

Bronte, I’m with you on this one. Have we got out of second gear in any match we’ve played so far?
I really don’t understand FFP at all. Monchi now saying we had to sell the youngsters to balance the books. I’ve read that in the last 3 seasons, our nett spend has been less than £100 million. Other clubs pay more than that on just 1 player. Weren’t we told by the hierarchy that part of the reason for all the increases we as fans have had to endure was that we were going all out to catch up with the big boys over this summer’s transfer window? That worked out well then. Our only really good signing, on the showings so far, in my opinion is Diaby. The others all seem like “fillers”. Maybe I’m being a bit harsh but can only say it as I’ve seen it so far this season

It's never been difficult to distinguish between bronte after a defeat and a ray of sunshine!

He tends to hold an in depth  enquiry after we lose a game. He didn't say a word after the Palace win.

I hope that Brontë is not right, but his view is not without merit until such time that it is proved wrong.

The summer business looks a mixed bag at the moment , Tielemans has been a big disappointment so far, Torres looks like a nice centre half good on the ball but lacks pace and physicality. Zaniolo looks decent and Diaby does too.

I appreciate BronteB's posts but he can be a hard taskmaster. He once went on a date with Margot Robbie, thought she could have scrubbed up better and generally wasn't up to much.

I wonder would we ever have looked at Tielemans if he wasn't on a free?

Lenglet is the only one that seems like a questionable decision to me, and really only because it seemed to happen last minute and there was little or no talk about him before it did. He didn't look great yesterday but it was his first run out in a much changed team.

How many marks did she get out of ten?

I think it’s too early to say the recruitment from the summer was a mess but there certainly wasn’t enough of it. Many of the gaps are the same as they were in January.

Emery is cutting a frustrating figure at the minute which is a bit concerning.

Brontë said he would give her 1 out of 10

It would be concerning if he wasn’t cutting a frustrated figure when we let shite goals in and lose. Would it better to have Strvie G slumped back in indifference?

Emery hasn’t looked frustrated at all when we’ve sticking goals past Everton, Burnley and Palace.

Zaniolo has a chance of becoming my favourite player which is a high honour as I’m a bit picky.
The last one was Freddie Bouma

Harry Kane is a useful signing for Bayern.
