It wouldn't be a surprise, that transfer was a shocker. Glad they finally showed some spine and halted the exodus, it provided a foundation for new players to come on, no-one ever heard of rats boarding a sinking ship.

Yes, I agree. Hull's offer was more then fair considering he is a bit part player. If they want to pay his inflated wages too, well, they are obviously confident about staying up and remaining in the top flight.

We appear to have made the best of a bad situation. The board laid down the law with Morgan and Jay, a vitally important measure that put in the foundations for bringing further new blood in, we were looking to build on what we still had. Our signings look on the whole to be fairly shrewd, time will naturally tell but I am feeling a lot more enthused about the season now.

Yes it's only a youtube video, but he has got such an astonishingly poised turn of acceleration and close control, he will not have the same space here but he should cause a few problems.

Que sera sera. I'm off to bed.

His goal against Arsenal alone equaled Osvaldo's contribution, his goal in the win over Newcastle pushes it over the edge in combination with the 30 or so extra games he played for us and his infinitely better attitude.

A productive final day for them then.

Curious.

Ooooooo, link please.

Quite acceptable. Still ours to sell at the end of it too.

Must be a financial fair play thing, he would be on large wages and not be a first team regular. Well, if Hull are happy to pay and Mane meets Koeman's needs. We shall see.

Now they are saying a season long loan for Gaston to Hull.

The squad is back to acceptable depth, but whether it has the ultimate quality is up for debate. It should be fun finding out.

We must be confident that Alderweireld is over the line. All the best to Jos, hope he makes the best of it there.

SSN expecting Mane to be completed.

No mention of Boruc at all so far.... Irene must be busy.

Cover at right back as well as a capable centre back. Excellent depth in a position that could have been troublesome.

I agree with the logic of it, but if you do not aim high, why bother aiming at all? You will never attract good players if the club inherently lacks drive and vision.

Pleasing for me that the 'plan' appears to be led by a manager who has personal ambition and seen potential in our foundations rather then the chairman. It makes us far more credible if a person with Koeman's profile and reputation says it rather then our ex-hockey coach chairman. A subtle difference, but one that makes me hope that we will have returned stability and the possibility of punching above our weight.

Only two with Taider returning to Italy.

Human beings are priceless, all life is invaluable. How is Shane Long not worth 12 million?

Yeah, thanks for f**king up the channel order. 405 was hardwired yet now it's 401. Just who the f**k do you people think you are? And as for stopping SkyGo on consoles for free..... you utter scumbags..... (Only half sarcastic.......Say hi to Ro Andrews if you know her.... You bunch of c*nts) Yes, i'm really p*ssed off with Sky, their lack of support for many phones (when low rent games firms can manage for all.......) and their total arrogance.

On the contrary, the guy is a blinkered whippet. I make that judgement from watching a lot of football, yes he can control a ball while travelling and shoot, but he is helped by the team he plays in, trading him for Jay would be very short sighted. Besides, he is still playing for Spurs, why come here?

An England international as a makeweight for a 14m deal. No. The principle now means more then the money in this window.
