Apparently Bosingwa is going to Monaco.

We still need him to be fit.

Matías Fernández has moved to Fiorentina for about €4m. Can't believe no one else went for him at that price.

I'm sorry, but that's not our job. You can't discount the opinion of anyone that disagrees with you because we are incapable of coming up with a viable alternative. I am just confident we could do better. The club seemingly is not, seeing as they are bidding for the player. What do you make of that? It was reported that Ashley was the main driving force behind this move. Either way, I disagree with them.

I am just confident we could do better. So yoy've got no answer then. Thought so. . Maybe we should see if Peter Beardsley fancies one last season. No, because I'm not a fully qualified European scout. However I can still disagree with you. If we had Remy saying he wanted to come and we wanted him we could compare him and Carroll and have a reasoned debate. As things stand you have nothing to offer debate wise and so it's a futile exerise. I'm not a qualified football coach but I think that carroll has much to offer. Come up with some possibilities and we can discuss ya? I'm sorry that I don't have any viable alternatives, but does that mean Carroll, at £15m, is our best option for that price? No. We can't compare players, I get that, but we can look at what he would bring to the team for that price and decide we could most probably do better.

He's OK, I don't know what some of you are watching.

Mark Douglas ‏@MsiDouglas Increasing optimism at #nufc about recruitment. Debuchy could be in by Mon, and another bid for Carroll (nearer £16m) being considered... £16m

Pretty much nailed it.

I suggested Kevin Mirallas, actually.

I think we would go 4-2-3-1 with Anita. A 3 of: Tiote Anita Cabaye would be lovely.

Based on the little I have read and seen, I really want him.

Jesus wept.

Kevin Mirallas apparently has a £6.4m buyout clause and he can play across a front 3. He's also mates with Cabaye. Can we not go for him instead?

Yup, need to sort that contract out asap.

Are we really? If we do reasonably well in all competitions we will hit somwhere around that mark. I'm sure I read Fulham played what was in effect an extrahalf a season with added UEFA Cup/FA/League The started in the very first qualifying round, I think. I just don't like presuming we will have loads of extra games when we might not. Perhaps I am just pessimistic. Seeing as that argument is only really relevant when it comes to the number of strikers, not the actual players, are you happy to go into a full season with 4 competitions with 3 strikers only, one of which can't run for more than half an hour? If you are, you're not nearly as pessimistic as you think.. No, of course not. I recognise we need another forward, not Carroll though. Although my post wasn't directed at the Carroll debate, more at the general acceptance that we will have loads more extra game. It was slightly irrelevant looking back as we still need another forward.

Are we really? PL - 38 EL - 10 FA - 3 CC - 3 You have no way of knowing that, you're guessing.
