Better than talking about Arsenal.![]()
Just as an aside, why is it that people are praising NCFC to the sky for maintaining a policy which in sum is "we will strengthen where we need to and can if the right players become available and at a cost we regard as sustainable and are prepared to pay", yet Arsenal, who have operated on that basis for years are ridiculed for it? Why did they not go for Soldado? Not the player they want. Ditto Higuain. The ONLY big name striker Arsenal have made a concrete bid for this summer is Suarez. That's the player they want, that's the player they are trying to recruit. But not at any price.![]()

This one looks recent given the contract end date:

but could be out of date as well![]()
)By the way apologies if some think we're going off topic here, however we are discussing summer transfers which is what this thread is called (no specific mention of NCFC in the title)

probably of no relevance but has anyone noticed the champions league draw? psv play ac milan for a place in the group stages! could a defeat see movement on the toivonen front? i realise he's probably off whether they qualify or not but i just wonder if it would make a difference?

Nope, PSV is automatically placed for the EL group stage if they lose. Which is likely. So they still play in Europe. Norwich still doesn't. It swings the balance a bit but not much.

El hamdaoui is being linked to feyenoord now, good they can have him!
qpr are also trying to sign scott parker and jermain defoe. they've learnt nothing![]()
Pretty sure 'arry quashed the Defoe rumour recently.
