That's ridiculous transfer planning to only have 1 target for a position.  At least when the Maiga deal fell through last December we got Cisse.

The Maiga deal fell through in the summer and we got no other striker actually, and had to wait till January.

Basically, it's what's happening again now.

Hey, at least their consistent right?

Going to be so much tougher to get points of fulham, everton, swansea, liverpool etc this season. Getting quite nervous about even finishing in the top 8-9

Yep. So true.

Everton just came out of nowhere with their investment, and Jol and Laudrup are no mugs and have done very well with fairly average resources.

Very competitive season ahead.

Man, the joblessness of some people 

Wigan looking at getting Zaha... Still a good option for us...

 

 

 

 

that smiley

Cracked me up so much 

Shola ... the guy's ability to stay relevant in this team is like nothing I've ever seen.

Definitely some kind of voodoo being used on his part.

We'll think we're clever c***s and waiting til January thinking we can get another Cisse, panicking, and end up paying £8m for Ryan Babel.

 

He has just been released on a free.

Still believe Babel can be great, don't ask me why.

Liked him so much at Ajax.

On a free? Well why the hell not.

Zaha would improve so much at Wigan, similar to Moses. Actually would be a great replacement.

Would have been a nice young striker to have behind Ba and Cisse I would have thought.

Wish we had just gone after Zaha and Clyne tbh. Things would have been looking much better.

is it possible to ban all the negative c***s from this thread and let them post their negative c*** posts in a new thread called 'the negative c***s thread', or something like that?

Oh don't be so negative!

He's a striker by the way, and one who also plays wide at that. Left footed too.

Seen quite a bit of him. Lived around Crystal Palace for a while.

Liverpool are completely screwed on this.

Carroll doesn't strike me as the sort who will care if he's threatened with not playing football.

He will just bum about until they let him return to Newcastle. The guy clearly has no desire to play anywhere else especially considering how things turned out at Liverpool.

Will Liverpool really let him bum around until January, where the offer will only be less than it is now?

Let's see how stupid Liverpool really are.

Anyone else get the impression this is going to happen, but is just being saved as the big story of the last day 

Just read an article where it says Levy values Van der Vaart at £14 million 

Wow ... they should seriously lock that guy up.

VDV off then? Seems like a lot of midfielders to accommodate. I know VDV and Moutinho aren't the same sort of player but still.

 

Depends. Hamburg want him and he wants to go there.

 

Thing is, Hamburg (their investor for the VdV transfer to say precisely) only wants to pay €12 mio at max. So, wait and see...

 

Personally I think (and hope) he'll go there.

Only 

Levy at it again. How much does that scoundrel want now.

Van der Vaart is 29 for goodness sake. That's about the right price for him. Round about 9/10 million.

If Lille miss out on CL group stage they may be more willing to deal Debuchy.  They play Copenhagen today, after losing 0-1 in the away first leg.

 

Not according to there President, who said that it won't make any difference.

Where president?

Spurs rule the last days of the window. Every damn time.

Potential midfield trio of M'vila, Dembele and Sigurdsson ... urgh. Sickening.

Walcott leaving Arsenal would have me slightly wary of a late bid for HBA.

If there's one team that will never bid for our players it would be Arsenal.

Wenger isn't going to come in with £20 million for Ben Arfa. It would really surprise me if he did.

Man, love Dembele. Great signing.

Has really developed into a really good central midfielder.

Not as "cute" with the ball as Modric, but really strong in possession and has great bursts forward with the ball, as well as always looking to play the ball forward on the ground.

Does play centre half, and has done for a while now I believe.

A lot of noise about M'bia leaving Marseille.

Possible centre back for us?

This guy's pure dribbling ability is out of this world. These first two games he has been embarrassing people left, right and centre. Absolutely filthy stuff.

Ba and Cisse ... no chemistry.

Cisse up top

Marv Cabaye and Ben Arfa behind

Jonas/Anita with Tiote

Would love to see that. Maybe one day.

Man, would really love to see a team featuring both Ben Arfa and Marveaux from the start. Marveauxx looks so good on the ball too.

Ba just isn't that link up guy. Touch isn't consistent enough. Damn.

What a performance. If we are going 4-4-2 we need a lump up top, and Marveaux in the team ahead of Jonas.

This guy is actually incapable of saying penalty?
