The papers today are reporting a £22 million bid for lescott. I would take it. We have baines and could by Berra (hearts) for £3 mill. that leaves us £19 mill to beef up the squad

Agreed dalmat looked good against us and the shite but bear in mind his brother was and is rated at twice the player and he was shite at tottenham/inter.

I just dont think he would consistently cut it in the prem!!!!

Remember he only shone against shitty Aurelio and an out of form Lescott, people like evra and ashley cole would have him in their back pockets!!!

He a powerful player who seems to be able to run for ever and never gives up on a lost cause. Think he would give us something different from what we have. Would also help out in defense which would go amiss at the mo

Dalmat from Standard. He's looked good against us and the Shite and would allow Arteta to move into the centre

The Guy on SSN is usually spot on and has direct contact with agents. If he says its close to happening, it usually means its gonna happen.

Jesus. If this is as good as it gets it gonna be a fucking long season

hes not gonne take us forward someone is defo robbin evertons money by the way any news on obinna an saha are deals complete

Saha's is finishing his medical (must have to tak it easy to make sure he doesn't injury himself) and we r still waiting for the appeal for his work permit.

Knowing the way our season has gone Obinna will be turned down for his permit and Saha will pass the medical then dislocate his shoulder holding up his new shirt.

Not holding much hope for new faces now

The rumours coming out of newcastle are that we are set to move for Michael Owen, as we as Alan smith. Apparently DM has made Owen his no 1 target and the only stumbling block could be his wages

Its on the guardians site saying we'll move for Topal if we fail to sign mountino. He'll cost £10m, but with them now out of the champions league may consider selling. It also says we are one of the teams after larsson.

One of the reasons baines hasn't played as much is his size. DM has stated before that the side lacks 2 much height with him in the side and once we have a taller defensive midfielder he will play more

Essien has recommended him to Chelski so must have something. He started every game at the ACN and is only 21. Bring him on

Not saying we'll sign him but I think he defo will leave spurs. Had a bust up with Ramos when he first took over and they have signed 2 big money midfielders and still have jenas. Would love to see him sign tho

Hopefully he will follow AJ and the Yak. When AJ sign Wigan offered him more. And with the Yak, Man City and Pompey were sniffing round and could have offered more money but he wanted to play for a proper team. lets hope this come off. he would be top class for us.

I was under the impression that English clubs can not purchase from third parties unless either they receive special dispensation from the FA (as Liverpool did with Mascherano) or the club pay a FA representative to broker the deal so they know it's all above board.

 

I'd never heard of Jo before today - I can't imagine us paying £18million on a player this summer

Liverpool had 2 get permission from UEFA 2 sign mascherano because he had played for 2 other teams that year. It's ok with the premier league but dodgy for the fa cup (tevez at west ham)
