    If I was Begovic, I would leave out moving to Man City, to be 2nd choice I doubt it.

    Utd? Er HOW could he refuse, want him to stay but a good offer from Utd I fear Begovic will be gone no question.

    I find it ironic that when we are searching for players/positions that we need (although his position seems very varied as opposed to a master of one) that we get bogged down over relatively small amounts - certainly in football terms. The irony I hear you all ask, well todate we have invested approx 40 million in strikers (which I judge to be roughly half off our spend in the prem) yet in real terms we have recouped very little of that in the departue of Kitson, Tunny, Beattie etc.. and its arguble that we would struggle to get 15 million for our four current strikers, based on form etc....

    Johnny Russell would be a great signing for us (from Dundee)
    He is in good form, relatively cheap and is exactly what we need
    However he is extremely fast.
    Anyone agree?

    We always seem to pay a kings ransom for them, still not many knights left in this transfer window.

    http://www1.skysports.com/football/...er-League-club-will-not-sign-winger-Brek-Shea

    Here is the update on Shea

    Olsson is the one we should be after and being very aggressive, for me he is worth 5 million all day long, and he is probably worth more than that to us given our full back positions are the weakest area of our team.

    Harry Redknapp wants to sign Blackburn defenders Martin Olsson, 24, and Scott Dann, 25, to help QPR beat the drop. (Daily Mirror)

    Exactly Smithers,

    proper players in their proper places, we would get part of the money back in places up the table.
