Billy I know it seems very frustrating - oh sod it - it IS frustrating. I just think it's too easy to cast aspersions of laziness, unprofessionalism, meanness, etc. etc. Sometimes they do know things about players that we don't. In other times, other clubs and agents are playing games for their own ends. In between deals grow and then crash to the ground. So far we've not lost a match or conceded a goal. If we can keep that going for another week at least I'll be happy.
Got damn! That much????? Sky Sports News‏@SkySportsNews1m Tottenham to sign Erik Lamela from Roma in deal worth up to £30m #SSN
Never said you didn't say he wasn't, just feel we're just as light as we were last season, especially with Toure and Coates suffering from long term injurys, Skrtel isn't even match fit.
Have FSG pulled out on this season already? Has the amount spent by THFC made them think we cannot compete for 4th anyway and have improved enough on last season for now so we might as well save some wages in the meantime?
Does that make a difference But seriously, I know we aren't any stronger but we also knew Carragher was retiring which contributed to the need to recruit at CB. We did that straight away with Toure. I was just responding to the solitary "CB was the first position we needed to strengthen this summer" point that Billy made
Great signing for Spurs, bad news for everyone else. Think Lamela with prove to be a more important signing than Willian would have been for them anyway. Also disappointed about Ljajic, would've been a good signing for us. Going to be a lot of pissed off Roma fans, can't see the Ljajic deal appeasing many of them.
Do you reckon we're doing an arsenal? Get in average type players then go 'oh we tried' when it comes to marquee signings.
Been away for a few days, any injury updates from yesterday? Was the match as bad as it sounded? I know it's the wrong forum, but the injury question is relevant with regards to transfers, and I can't be bothered to find the right place to post.
Toure out for ten years. Cissokho stubbed his toe so they've sent him away to a sanatorium on the coast for some sea air and aren't sure when he'll be back Joe Allen is AWOL but the cleaners found the bootroom ransacked with kleenex all over the floor, and three packets of Blackpool milk roll semi-devoured in the canteen and have their suspicions.
Actually read that as Toure out for ten days and was feeling pretty good about things. Then I read the rest and died a little inside.
FootballFacts101‏@FootballFact1013m Both the 'BBC' and 'Independent' are reporting that, "Leighton Baines has asked Everton to agree deal to sell him to Manchester United."
****ing Spurs though!!! I know the Bale money will help clear a lot of this but still, they have now gone over 100 mil this summer! No CL either.
