    Matuidi and Cabaye are\will be the marquee signings and I'll be happy with that.

    I wonder if there will be one big money signing, or whether most deals are being done cheaply.

    We want players striving to exceed there value not just to justify it.

    Not too bothered about Zog since we got Marveaux for next to nothing, would prefer the money was spent elsewhere and Jonas staying.

    In fairness Charlie does seem to have a little bit of the Napoleon complex about him, would have liked to see him and his attitude tearing it up at SJP .. but not going to lose any sleep over it if we don't get him .. still a glimmer of hope though until any deals are done .. <ok>

    Until I hear from Pardew that the club has decided to look elsewhere I treat these 'reports' with disdain.

    I think we have to wait and see. We were told Marveuax was already a Liverpool player some time ago and that has turned out to not be the case. I have reservations about N'Zog either way given his conduct while he was here last time. However he is a fine player with experience of the league. I hope our marquee signings of the summer are not Cabaye/Matuidi. Surely at least one of our marquee signings needs to be a striker?

    I don't want to be negative but I'm hoping we're actually going to spend some money. At present we've replaced our captain with an unproven french lad (who I rate but he is unproven on these shores), spent very little in the process and signed two injury prone players on free transfers. By rights we should have a fair bit of money swilling around. Don't get me wrong, not for a minute am I naive enough to expect them to be spending the Carroll money as promised. But at present all I can see is an injury prone striker in Ba who is decent but no world beater, and the lad Marveaux who looks exciting but is also very injury prone. At present the squad is worse off than last year because we've freed a couple of players.

    But it's obvious to Stevie Wonder we need to invest some money in a striker.

    This. I'd rather we spent the £10-12mill or so on Erding, Sow or another top striker, and then the money that would've been spent on another striker on Samba...
