Diego Costa

If we can't get a decent sort like Sanchez or the young kid Mbappe then maybe that 'orrible bastard Costa will have to do. My plan is to chuck Athletico Madrid £10 million towards them signing him and loaning him to us for a season. We get a decent striker for a season. They get to sign him back without actually doing so thereby getting round their ban. Yes, I'm desperate. 9 days and counting till the window shuts.

Part two of the plan is to get Messi and Sanchez on frees next summer.

What have you been smoking? 

We'd have been fine last night if we hadn't conceded yet another totally avoidable goal against a team with little attacking intent. It's groundhog day with our defending.

I must admit the plan is a bit outlandish but not as outlandish as to suggest we can rely on City to keep clean sheets!!!!
