Especially for the prices so far being discussed for this chap.

The arrogance Defo a bit of Fat Sam delusion rubbing off on Nolan there.

They want shooting with shit if we're left short of both a striker and a LB, frankly. There's no excuses. It's not as though the club had not anticipated that we'd need these players. No way should Shola and Ba be our first option forwards, no fucking way.

Please god, no. We really do need him around this season. What are the chances of him actually going there do you reckon? He did say that he wouldn't leave here unless it was to a Champions League club.

I must admit, I took this to mean that our bid had been knocked back and we'd continued to show an interest in the player despite them telling us to fuck off. Who knows though.

Fucking hell, Bruce is one fat bastard. Undoubtedly one of the fattest managers in the football league.

Nice to see City given a little bit more freedom today. Barry is still a turbo cunt though.

Adebayor's not bad on his day, but quite inconsistent. Just think he's a bit needy really. Would have him here in a heartbeat.

So if this one doesn't come off, what are the chances that we'll not sign anyone (up front)?

Indeed. We need to be patient with him this season too, especially with all the shit going on 'upstairs' likely to cause instability. I don't mind him at all tbh. Liar, maybe. Ashley's bitch, perhaps. But he's also done a good job so far and deserves some credit. We've got a great squad here, and with a new LB and striker, I really think we could surprise a few people provided we stick together.

Made worse by the sheer impatience and petulance of fans and players alike. Wenger's no better either. Used to be a fan but the bloke has absolutely no integrity.

Arselol. Fucking Liverpool though. Suarez is a superb player.

What on earth has happened to Arshavin over past year? Looks like a shadow of the player he was when he first joined the Arse.

Completely missed the second half as dog had to go to vets. Was there a big difference in performance after the shite we served up in the first?

Well Pardew said earlier, that we would make 2 more signings a, so he seems like our striker. Jesus. Hope not. I reckon he's a replacement for either Ranger or Loven, should we manage to shift either. It no makey sense that we've apparently upped our bid for Maiga whilst trying to get this chap on loan for nothi......Actually, this makes perfect sense. Fuck off Ashley.

Agreed. What I've been saying for ages. But I think one has only to look at Everton to appreciate that a successful football club doesn't necessarily translate into making it a more attractive proposition for buyers. Unless a club is bought by an Arab state or a Russian oligarch, for whom money is no object, the state of finances of a club is bound to have quite a sizeable bearing on proceedings, unfortunately for us. I truly and honestly cannot fathom what Ashley's plan for NUFC actually is. As far as I'm concerned the bloke runs the club on a day to day basis without any degree of foresight - as this LB situation is beginning to prove. What is clear, however, is that he's not 'in love' with the club/fans, etc. That went out of the window after the KK backlash. To him we're just an asset and as time passes it's clear that he's treating us as such, frustration as that may be for us fans.

I do believe some £££s to the SBR Foundation were waged on Modric staying at Spurs (see Neil's sig). It's not on Neil's sig now but I'm putting up £100 to SBRF if Modric goes (though I'll probably do the same if he goes, it's a good cause). Whether Modric goes in this window is up in the air. At the time of the Chav's first bid Levy was unequivocal, Modric stays, we shift the deadwood and bring in the new bodies with that money and with what's in the transfer pot. The problem is the deadwood is near impossible to shift and Levy wants their wages off the books before the new bodies arrive. One option is to sell Modric, not because Levy's given in to Modric or Chelsea but because he wants books more balanced. Personally, I still think Modric will still be at Spurs come September but it's now nowhere near as clearcut as it was at the start of the window. Top bloke MJ, seriously. Fwiw I also make you right. Can't see Modric going either. What's the Spurs fans' opinion on lack of transfer dealings so far? With a striker and possibly another midfielder I'd like to think you'd be able to challenge Liverpool/Arsenal for the Champs League spot.

Why don't you tell me? I'm not naive enough to think any sort of protest or boycott is going to make any difference whatsoever. But if voicing my frustration in the form of a few chants makes me feel better I'm going to bloody well do it, irrespective of whether or not Ashley will be 'truffle-shuffling' in fear. You are aware i asked a question right? As in i was looking for an answer above the standard responses from fans who cant even give up buying his overpriced pisswater while singing about him. He is going nowhere as the money will continue to roll in while he chuckles at us for thinking a few songs will hurt him. Personally, I've refrained from buying anything other than my match ticket on a Saturday and have avoided Sports Direct like the plague. Unfortunately, I don't even think that a boycott of this nature, if universally adopted, would make a blind bit of difference. Ashley's in a good position here. charvas and bargain hunters will continue to shop at SportsDirect and 50,000, me included, will still turn up because we love the club and don't want to feel as though Ashley has taken that away from us.

If we don't bring a LB in, these cunts ought to be given hell. Absolute hell. There's absolutely NO excuse this time. There's no last minute £35 million bid for them to fall back on to try and justify no signing, and there are NO excuses for not having adequate replacements lined up. It's been obvious Jose was off from the start of the summer.

Spurs wagecap is less than half of Adebayor's current wages. What do you think? No hope of him agreeing such a cut to leave perminently imo I've not a clue. Hence why I'm asking the Spurs fans on here. Does beg the question though, what do a lot of Man City rejects expect when they're inevitably replaced? There's no way that teams would even come close to matching City's wages. I suppose it will coax out the footballers from the mercenaries - those that want to play will take a cut in pay.

Is Adebayor a permanent or a loan?

And Mackem boards are not the same? Fooking moron.

I agree. Between £9 and £11 million is fair imo.
