    Capoue looks a snip at that price. Slotted in perfectly. Lloris is world class. Great play Defoe.

    Lloris is the best signing we've had in years.

    Good stuff, nice to start with a win and a clean sheet. Plenty of work left to do all the same.

    yes 3 points in the bag & we should have won it a lot more comfortably had JD & siggy had their shooting boots on.

    Job done.

    Capoue looks quality.
    Pauliho .. solid if unspectacular, will do better alongside Sandro/Capoue I reckon.
    Chandi.. showed moments of quality.
    Soldado... showed what we have been missing


    Still need another striker though. And a LB.
    Great to see Kaboul back

    Delighted, couldn't ask for more. Goldado on his debut, Paulinho motm on debut, Chadli put in a decent performance and our defence was largely good. Can't believe Defoe missed that chance, that's why he'll never be a 20 goal a season striker, that was as good as an easy chance as he'll get all season.

    Kevin Keegan says we lack quality without Bale, what a tulip. We've beaten a well up for it side, could easily have been 3-0. Today we brought in 3-4 new players, 5 if you count Rose who hasn't played for us for ages. Very good result, I think the flair play will come, though we need a great season from Holtby/Siggy at AM or another addition.
    We're in a very good position going into this season and if Bale does stay we're really in with a shot for our highest finish in a long, long time.

    At least Mourinho expects there to be 6 contenders, unlike all pundits and commentators who haven't given us any credit

    Pretty happy with that, was sweating near the end thinking Palace were gonna pull off the draw. Getting a bit sick and tired of Walker's mistakes, he is just too inconsistent and there is absolutely no pressure on him keeping that place with only Naughton challenging for it.

    Sig looks a bit sharper this year, just needs to get that confidence and I honestly think he'll be unbelievable! Paulihno was solid as was Chadli, although I'd like to see someone with a bit more pace but lets hope Bale will fit into that slot once all the drama has died down.

    Happy with that. AVB will have to do some passing practice though, Walker and Lennon especeilly. Be nice to have six points in the bag when we meet the other lot in a fortnight.

    Positive stuff, Soldado oozes quality, Jan & Younes nearly both there, Lloris is solid. Couple of shaky moments among the other defenders.

    Sandro who?:D

    Well a lot of it stems from Walker being a massive attacking option he's constantly up the other end trying to spark something.

    I thought we were poor today,no urgency at all. We miss Luka terribly as we have nobody making killer forward passes or dictating the pace. We struggled all day to open up what's gonna be the worst team in the division.
    We are really gonna struggle to beat teams at home this season without Bale based on today.
