Amalfitano > Lovenkrands Bigi > Smith (Tiote rotation then replacement within 24month) Good > Kadar Anita > Guthrie ?TBA? > Best My hunch for replacing Best is Wilfried Zaha as i don't think he'll go for anywhere near £10m due to Palace's problems ... And obviously i get no prizes for suggesting we plan to upgrade Simpson with Debuchy with my only doubts being that Simpson is 2yrs younger which is why the board feel they might not be getting the value they originally thought they might from Debuchy before the Euros now his price seems to have risen... Douglas being only 24 and 12 month left on a low wage contract hints as a typical if we can get him lets get him deal as it is a position we need cover for and even potential upgrade if he adapts... Can't see too many surprises this week in short...

Taking a step back i don't think there was much difference between our 2-0 winning performance and our 2-0 loosing performance other than the obvious one... We took our 2 chances (in fact the goals were that good you could say half chances) and yesterday we didn't... The penalty was one i'd put in the soft category as to me football is a contact support and you are allowed to make contact it's just wether that contact is a foul or not... Would of been nice to get to HT 1-0 and re-group but Chelsea took their half chance from a well worked move... To get to my point... We don't make enough chances per game and that included last season... We never cut teams open... We were very good at taking what chances fell to us...

Was thinking that... Around the 62min mark...

Haven't seen the Villa game but I said on the night of the Man Utd victory I was amazed by Everton's fitness levels... They have obviously changed something for this season and it's worked... To be fair they were like that last game of the season against us and have carried it on whilst sadly we have looked as flat as that day...

So, is it Carroll or a young striker? Just a little point. When Pardew said might try to bring in a younger player, he did not say a striker. He didn't specify a position. The younger than Carroll confusion is because he answered a question about bringing someone in straight after being asked about Carroll. Thats how i heard it fwiw. Also the first quotes in the article are over a month old... Just a typical cut & paste job to fit a headline... Wrong. He said those things last night to the written press. The board thing in that he said a couple of weeks back didn't he, about being over his head. Yep he said it a few weeks ago, but he said it again last night (my friend was there). Fair play then... Just when i saw the quote it was word for word the same as nearly a month ago... Apparently under interrogation that's a tell tale sign of lying...

I could think of one... Don't buy him and leave Liverpool with the problem of what to do with him to solve rather than us ending up with the exact same problem... You need to name 10 players who we can get below 12M before you're qualified to say that we could do better with 12M! Why?... I don't follow?... It was tongue in cheek mate, because that's the reaction some will tell you if you dare to have the opinion that Carroll is not worth 12M To be honest it's not the fee I was getting at though I agree £12m is a bit north to what he's worth to us... It's more his playing style... I just feel we'd end up with the same problem as Liverpool are currently facing... So add that to the a very sizeable fee and wage deal and I conclude it doesn't make much sense...

What an absolute bullshit article. Says absolutely nothing. Some of it worryingly arrogant... Without a couple of signings this window we will do well to finish top 7... As it stands we've stood still...

Gameweek 2: 1. 1-1 2. 1-2 3. 2-0 4. 1-1 5 2-1 6. 2-1 7. 2-1 8. 2-1 9 1-0 10 1-2

Yep... And hopefully just enough to ensure our board feel the need to respond in a positive manner before this window shuts...

That's the point i'm making... Who could SAFC of signed for £12-14m for the style of forward they need... I don't think there is that many that would want to go there if you think about it sensibly... The lad. That Everton signed that you mentioned was a decent shout... Will be interesting to see who ends up with the most goals/assists...

He's just texted Steve Howey on TotalSport during the show... Should be announce later... Good signing for them... Wonder what wages they are paying though...

1. Wouldn't even join us nevermind them... 2. Record not that great and was being banded around at similar prices when we looked at him... 3. Don't know him so I'll take your word for it...

I think SAFC will be expecting 10-15 from him...

Good shout... No reason to think SAFC couldn't tempt him... How many goals do you think he'd guarantee this season?

But he's never going to go to Sunderland so irrelevant...

Posted it in the transfer thread but news breaking that Johnson has signed...

I reckon Rhodes is a bit too similar to Campbell and not a target man... The other lad was always going to Reading as their chairman wanted to push it through at any wage cost due to himself being Russian... Someone in the Spanish league is a but vague...

Johnson has signed for SAFC...

Playing devils advocat a little... Who do people think they could of signed to score goals for a better price?...
