Oh, a thread title change (Confident we'll still get him like...).

Must not get too excited... :fwap:

Twente will cash in on one of de Jong and Douglas. It's one or the other imo (basing this on nowt btw!). We may have Saylor available but if I'm being honest, I have doubts about his overall fitness. That is, I'm still not really sure if Saylor can last a whole season...

Villas-Boas is a decent appointment like. He will have learned quite a lot from his time at Chelsea - mistakes were made but it always seems to be the case that if you learn from them, things tend to go well... So I reckon he'll do an alright job for Spurs plus he'll have less egos to contend with there.

Hope the lad gets well soon.

Well well, that is a new low for the Chronicle Still though, I'm getting excited by the latest news on this front. If we have indeed upped our offer, then I really think he's ours. We shall find out soon enough...

Someone was bored.

That is quite reassuring. Demba's staying forever and ever

And for another year running, I've won nowt.

Finally

Good (if true).

I assume the Scottish and Northern Irish FAs banned their players from being selected. Chip on their shoulders etc.

Didn't Palace want something like £10 million for him? Think it was wise we didn't go that far...

A Pardew-inspired renaissance is on the way tbh.

My gut feeling is that this deal isn't dead yet. Though if I'm being honest, I would rather we concentrate more on getting a potential deal for Douglas over the line...

I'm content with that. Not bad really.

Good luck to him. Disappointed to see him go but that's life/football - hope he does well and properly excels in the Championship (might even put a bet on him to be top scorer next season...).

Tino's headers against Barça were brilliant like.

If Gary leaves, can see Gabby stepping up. (Otherwise there's Manish/Colin Murray...).

That's quite a list.

Last month would have been hell without it mind. Indeed. Hoping to get a little fix from Olympic footy before the season starts. I know most people don't seem to care but I love watching the Olympics personally. Same here, looking forward to Olympic football already. Will be interesting to see how team GB get on.

Well done Spain.

Ouch. Now that is really harsh.

Harsh on Italy but got to hand it to Spain, when they actually turn it on, they really do look brilliant.

Thread title's changed I see. Brutal truth ftw.
