Seems legit.

Signing Yakubu for 1 million pounds is as close to a no-brainer as you're likely to find. On a short deal of course (with extensions based on games played etc.)

Would Marin be regretting signing now? Will be hard pressed to get any game time..

[TakingthePapiss]

Good to see FFP being enforced

[Embers]

Enjoy yo bench Torres!

Nah they will both start

Doubt Marin would be regretting the move. He would of expected to come in as a role player. He will rotate in and out of the squad in the Malouda/Kalou role of the past. He wont be first choice but he will still get plenty of starts
