    All quiet on the transfer front isn't it. I think we maybe done with signings ATM

    I do hope we can get good CB in before the end of the transfer window though

    I think we all hope we sign another CB swan_and _only , but having 3 pretty goods ones as we are IMO , makes it possible to sign the right one in the next week or so but if we can't we will manage if we don't .
    Gotta be the right guy for the right money

    I see Liverpool have turned down £30 million for Benteke.......
    We sold Ayew for £20 million.
    Who is insane here - Liverpool for turning it down, Palace for offering that much for him, or us for accepting 20 for Ayew ?
    I'd definitely go for Bony before Benteke.

    Liverpool also sold Jordan Ibe for £15m and Palace just sold Bolasie for £25-£28m.

    As for Bony, I'd bring him back in a heartbeat.

    Agree. Another CB if possible and we're a lot stronger than last season.

    I said all along 20m for Ayew is a mugging - ok we made a handsome profit - but his market value should have been far higher when comparing with other players. Going with 3 recognized centre backs is a huge gamble - so expecting (hoping) the club foresee this and bring in a quality replacement for Ash.

    But it's likely that £20m+ was his release clause, if he wanted to stay it's probable that a new deal would have been signed with a far higher clause. We took a gamble with him and without the aid of a crystal ball last year we couldn't have known how successful he was going to be. Looking at the full picture I think we did well with him.

    At least he's got an excuse this time for going missing for the next 4 months <whistle>

    Swansea curse has struck already.

    That's a fair point, and would explain why we feel we didn't achieve what he should be worth in the current market.
