25M for Nani!? Ferguson should snatch their hand off. Both him and Anderson are equally unimpressive. Nani less so but he's far too inconsistent. Anderson; I dont think Ive actually ever seen him do anything.

Who've we had previously? Ruiz? Kieran Richardson? Michael Johnson.

Toon's Taylor is odds on favourite. Hey fuk you AND your s*** hard drive/graphics card.

Not sure how people can say our squad has improved enough. Our actions in the transfer window so far dont consistute to improving with regards to a European campaign. We'll be playing twice a week and we simply wont be able to handle it with our squad whilst maintaining the form of last year, it simply will not happen, especially with another African c***ing nations in january; where Senegal aren't gurantee'd to go out early again. Our back 4 is the same back 4 we had last season and we still ended up James Perch, who is in no way, shape or form a good enough centre half playing. We even had Danny Simpson in their at one point, now if that doesnt scream 'thin at the back' then nowt will and thats before you factor in European games man. The one area of the team that blatantly needed improving prior to the end of last season was Right full back. We've had an opportunity to sign a top class full back and thus far havent. It doesnt even seem like we've looked at anyone else. If you want to push on and improve the side you need to be improving on the weak links. We havent. Bigi and Amalfitano will give us a bit of depth in the midfield which we needed and along with Anita im more than happy with the midfield. However up top it's a different story again. We're short up top, we've got 3 strikers; 2 of which disappear for a month in August and the other, lets face it, isnt good enough to be starting on a regular basis,. especially if we want to push on. I think people are underestimating how much this European campaign will take it out of the side, look at all the teams around us, they've all got more first team players. The fact is, we've been gifted a superb opportunity for this club to push on and really improve, a chance to have another crack at the top four with a bit of ambition and as it stands, it looks like we dont have the ambition. Has this transfer window made us look like a club that really wants to improve? I think not. I dont think it's being a drama queen nor do I think people are over reacting, I think as fans of this club we're entitled to feel a little frustrated with our business this window so far and you have to question the ambition of those at the top.

This.

Odd. Savic only had one season at Partizan before being thrown into the City first time, he's understandably looked a bit shakey. Given they paid 6m for him they obviously thought he he might have had a bit of talent, weird to get rid on a permanent basis so quickly. Mind this is City, where 6M is pocket change.

The more rigid 442 is suited to Chelsea away then 433 which could leave us exposed. Happy with that side though. Think Chelsea will steal it, but hopefully we put in a decent performance.

half hoping this gets called off as i'm going to miss it!

Rarely I post what the mongs on RTG have to say but think if anything proves our dominance over them it's this post; Talk about scraping the barrel

It doesn't make sense like. A least not right now. I dont even like having to talk about eventually replacing Colo man, it like talking about the fact you'll probably have to one day arrange and attend your parents funerals.

Was looking at Heskeys scoring record the other day; 151 goals in 696 games, 7 goals in 62 apps for England.

The most frustrating thing about this whole saga is that Debuchy is absolutely perfect for us. Good right backs aren't easy to find and I couldnt think of a better option than this lad. Especially given he openly wants to come here and it's a position we desperately need an improvement in.

Mental if we sell Colo for 15M.

Caulkins the one. Wouldnt even bother to follow Ryder, not only does he chat a load of hoop but his updates are wick.

Chris_R got it in one. There's no way we'll go anywhere near their current asking price, can see them either panicking on deadline day and letting him go for whatever we're offering or Rodgers carry's on being a stubborn cunt in defiance of all reasonable logic and they pursue with him as a bit part player to let him go in January for a cut price.

Although, at the time of writing it's unfair to judge because there is still plenty of time to get a few new faces in but if hypothetically we get ot September 1st and we haven't got anyone else in, I must admit i'll be a bit disappointed. We're a few players away from mounting a serious push for the CL and a challenge in the Europa league. I think everyone can see the three signings we could do with; A replacement right back for the blatant weak link that is Danny Simpson, another centre half so we've got 3 good defenders that we can rotate and another option up top. Now I'm not expecting to get all 3, but if we come out of this window light up top, at the back and without another RB then I really cannot see us building on last season and I really cannot see a CL push which would be a huge shame as, like hughesy said, we're on the cusp of a top quality side. Now if we go into the season as we are now, we'll more than likely see Simpson, Shola and Williamson all featuring regularly and although they're decent players, they're not good enough to be a big part of the side if we want to really build on last season. I really hope we push on these last few days and the board shows a little bit more ambition.

Adam Johnson will be a cracking signing for them, can see it happening too. To be fair to O'Neil he's had joy before in picking wingers out; Milner, Young, Guppy to name a few. They're still in desperate need of a striker and their long term future under O'Neils transfer strategy is bleak, but as far as this season is concerned, Johnson will do well for them.

To be honest, it's not even funny. It's one of the main reasons they're now a damn good club. Constantly rip people off. And we dont? Look at how much we paid for Cabaye man, it's outrageous given his quality. It's not really the same. His clause was fair game to other clubs too. We didnt set the price. Eh? And what Spurs are doing isnt fair game? Nobody forces clubs with a gun to pay silly money for their players.

So today Spurs have managed to convince QPR to pay way over the odds for a player they dont even need and have convinced City to pay over half the salary of a player they desperately need. How the fuck do they do it man?

Disappointing if we dont get him, especially as a relatively small fee. Not 100% confident going into the season with just 3 Centre half's.

Nah, Scott Sinclair. fwiw I think Bassong will be a canny signing for Norwich. Dont think he was over rated in his time here, he's just never hit the same heights. Spurs were always paying for potential too. Still a decent enough player and certainly better than Michael Turner.

Didnt realise he was with Rose Webster like

She reject your friend request or something?

Would have took him a few seasons ago, looked a very good player, Spurs player of the year in 2010. Seemed to have took a downturn in form since then and a handful of appearances last season suggests he isnt going to get any better. No thanks.
