Feghouli's barely played though, on the basis so far he's maybe the 5 choice attacking/wide midfielder. Probably more of an opportunistic signing on the relative cheap thinking his contract is up in the air, rather than a strategic improvement.

Would rather face Dallas than the Falcons, and while no one will give us a chance, we'll try to invoke the spirit of 2010. Write us off at your peril! Tense first half, the Giants drops should have put us behind early, and the revenge just-before-half-time hail mary for when Eli last played us...

I like Fletcher, has been better than Calleri and Zaza, and probably needs a season in the Championship before he's ready for the Prem, as was playing L1 football last year. Would prefer to keep him tbh, not at all convinced Snodgrass is good enough for our 11 unless Payet is off...

Still our best WR though. I look forward to the remaining WRs reverting to 2015 form without him. This aint looking good so far. Hanging on in there.

Given how iffy we've been so far, to be just 3 points down is rather good, though Giants have left points on the field. Nelson needs a new ribcage. Oof.

Yeah, totally agree. That his future is reportedly up in the air is mystifying. Who are they going to attract who'd be better? Could draft a QB this year but they're sinking money into Osweiler for 2017, and you're gonna be working with Smith, the guy who wanted Osweiler (again, reportedly)...

Since Conte seems committed to the 3x cb base, i wonder if Bournemouth's use of him there has made Conte realise he could be useful for Chelsea there as well, especially since Terry and Ivanovic's times are almost at an end. Surely he's recalled Ake to actually use him.

Or rather, outright laughing...

Wouldn't mind Sakho for the right price, i.e. nothing like what they paid for him. West Ham £3m bid for Snodgrass rejected. Worth a relatively cheap punt given his contract is up in 6 months, but it's not even close to a position of need. I doubt he even gets in the first choice eleven unless...

Owners thought that the new stadium and season's league placing was the springboard for being able to attract the next level of player, at least in Batshuayi and Bacca's case anyway (with bids accepted but players choosing to stay/go elsewhere). Fair play in trying to see if that was going to be...

All good, interesting to know. Yeah I certainly wasn't advocating going batshit crazy spending what you don't have, just wondered if it was being spent elsewhere on infrastructure rather than into the pockets of owners. Didn't realise the stadium had been redeveloped either. Sounds like it's at...

Plus, while he gets all these plaudits for not spending much and only bringing in committed players yadda yadda yadda, I do wonder why there's not more vocal questioning of why in their 2nd recent Prem season they've seemingly not had the money gained spent on the team. Am not advocating them...

If Sunderland were comfortably midtable then they'd snap our hands off for that £6m for Defoe, he's 34 and in his career indian summer. As it is I can totally understand them rejecting it though, surely without them that relegates them, he's worth much more to them than that. Club has said a...

Fair do's :) Washington would be mad to move on from Cousins, he's obviously never going to be stellar but they seem to be building something decent there and to switch it around at that position, could easily get worse. Intrigued to see where Romo goes, on top of his age surely his existing...

Sure he's stuck behind Brady, but that doesn't raise a player's value - just limits the games he can play and impress in. From what I remember he didn't really exceed in pre-seasons either, so the sample size of NFL time is preciously small. I just remember the same arguments being made about...

Of course though i could be completely wrong, fair play for teams demandkng what they can, it only takes one desperate team to bite at a high price for an inexperienced backup and it could set the market. I'm struggling to think of a recent young backup QB moving for a very high draft pick.

Osweiler had the benefit of half a season playing for Denver and looked 'ok' in what, and no pick was needed to be given up. I would argue there was more to bank on with him at that time than right now with McCarron or Garropolo. I just dont see 1st round picks being given away for reserve QBs...

Has McCarron even looked that good? Such a small sample size, who offered that for him last season? Looking at current estimates I'd be surprised if you get more than a 3rd. Garoppolo has possibly shown more, but i can't imagine the Pats getting more than a 2nd round for him either.

Wasnt it against the Fins earlier in the season that Ajayi had one of his booming games, piling up the yardage? Agreed it could be really competitive, looking forward to that one. Whatever happens, and given their iffy start, has been a great first season for Gase.

Baalke gone, Kelly supposedly as well. Think Kelly's been dealt a rough hand with a naff roster, but unlikely he's getting a 3rd HC gig in the NFL. Does he attempt to get an OC gig or - I assume - walk back into a college football HC role... Kubiak supposedly leaving too. Would be interesting...
