    TTSF, I'm not a fan of Redmond, however your statement is a little contradicting of itself. IF Redmond signs and IF Koeman has him blossom into a great player, how can it be bad business? Any player who signs and doesn't perform turns out to be bad business. So you either think it will be bad business or it won't be. It is ok to hop off that fence :)

    I'd rather we strengthen as much as we can.

    High prices are being paid by all clubs with money...look at Liverpool and ManU. We are known to have money and need players...add in the fact that players haven't spent a lifetime dreaming of playing for us...and you have a 'being held to ransom' scenario.

    Look at the other transfers, every one bar the odd few are over priced.

    I've said numerous times on here that I don't rate him (as backed up by the Norwich fan). I don't think he'll be a success. The point I'm making is i'd rather someone I don't rate who's young than someone I don't rate who is old because he's got the potential to blossom.

    I'm still not sure why no team has taken Ben Arfa or Assaidi. I'd have loved us to go for one of them.

    I get it now, but I was just leg pulling because it sorted of sounded like you were fence sitting. FWIW, I am not keen but he is still very young and maybe as you say, we can improve that final ball. Fingers crossed.

    Ben Arfa is a complete twat.

    And I'd take another CB and move the lovely Jos on.

    Yes, this basically. Sadly so as he could be a really great player. The French version of Ravel Morrison.

    That may be so ( I don't really know much about his personality) but he is definitely a game changer and a player of international quality.

    That would be a total waste of talent.

    Yeah, but we don't want him disrupting team spirit. Look at Osvaldo.

    Van Dijk left out as his partner is heavily pregnant apparently.

    They're signing his wife? That's odd.

    SkySports reporter who is based up north said the Dijk transfer to Sunderland isn't happening.
