What happened to the ITK thread? Would expect us to be after another CB and another midfielder.

Decent fourth choice CB.

Was thinking the same, but might go down to away goals....do we go all out in the first leg? or play not to concede...?!

Would he get in a championship side!? I'm not convinced from what I've seen, but certainly would do him good going out on loan. I'd be tempted to loan him to someone like Swindon until January, then if he does well either extend, or send him to a Championship club then.

30482-9174 is the league pin - was set up by myself.

Looks good, can't wait to be back in there, and a game under the lights....beautiful. COYS!!!

Fair point. Would be interested to know how much we had 2 CB's missing last season at once. I guess the problem is that if one gets injured for 3/4 months, then if another picks up a niggle then it's down to either Stephens or Turnbull to step up. As others have said, if Caulker is on small wages, and brought in as fourth choice, I have no problem with that, but we need a top CB to replace Toby, preferably one who is very happy with the ball at his feet. Could we persuade Ashley Williams to come here? Were rumours he was off to Palace. If he good enough to be first choice?

Not convinced we need two CB's, just need a top drawer one. Could Turnball/Stephens play 5 games this season? Yeah probably. Caulker doesn't really interest me, I think he's poor, and too slow. Doesn't have the footballing brain to anticipate either IMO. Happy to be proven wrong though...

We all know this. Yoshida is a brilliant third choice to have, but not a first choice CB all season. A top CB needed.

Fair point - although I think we need to get at them in the first leg. Will be a very tough away leg.

-------Stekelenberg Cedric Fonte Yoshi Targett -----Wanyama Clasie Tadic ---Juanmi----Mane ----------Pelle JRod to come on and turn the screw and bag our second of the night, 2-0.

Woahhhhhh...are you saying Toby, Jos, and Lovren were all bad signings?!

Love it.

What tweet?

Bring in one top CB and have Turnball or Stephens as fourth choice.

I'd hope this is the case, rather than him just having zero motivation to impress Ron...!

Forster Cedric Fonte Yoshida Bertrand Wanyama Clasie Mane Juanmi JRod Pelle Obviously we'll probably replace Yoshi and bring someone else in, and you could argue Tadic/JWP/Davis instead of Juanmi, but this lad looks really good from the little I've seen of him - think we'll be a very dangerous side with those front 4. Obviously also depends who we play.

And no Jrod who is arguably our best player...

Not really that interesting, given the change in personnel over the last few years...? We've basically built a whole new team since last summer. Only ones in our first 11 likely this year will be. Fonte, Davis JWP Jrod Also unlikely that Davis and JWP are going to be in the first 11 that much if everyone is fit. Pochettinos first squad... 31 Boruc 02 Clyne 03 Yoshida 05 Hooiveld Booked 23 Shaw 04 Schneiderlin Booked 10 Ramirez (S Davis - 71' ) 18 Cork 21 Guly (Rodriguez - 62' ) 42 Puncheon (De Ridder - 87' ) 07 Lambert Substitutes 01 K Davis 13 Fox 22 Richardson 08 S Davis 27 Chaplow 33 De Ridder 09 Rodriguez So only 4 players in the squad are still at the club.

Nothing wrong with the fact that it's their third kit and their first kit is yellow and the second is green?

First time i've ever had problems getting tickets this morning since the 'new' booking site. After waiting 20 minutes, I got in, logged in, it then made me queue again, waited another 20 mins, logged in, got the tickets I wanted to buy, and then pressed update basket, and it picked a ticket for every single link I have on my account, (about 10 tickets), finally got rid of the ones I didn't want, and went back to my basket and then the website came back with a downtime error. Refreshed and put me back to the login queue, with a 45 min queue time. by this point I just decided to call the ticket office and with no hassle I bought them over the phone - a right pain in the arse. Should definitely stagger the seats, did STH even have a chance of buying their own seat?

Agree.

Soares replaces Clyne JRod replaces Elia Gaston replaces Djuricic Steklenberg replaces Forster Clasie replaces Morgan Martina additional Juanmi additional Toby not yet replaced (Van Dijk) If rumours are to believed, we're still after another CM For the front 6 positions, we'll have.... Wanyama, Reed, JWP, Davis, Clasie, Tadic, Mane, Gaston, Long, JRod, Juanmi, Pelle, Gallagher. A lot of players to keep happy if we do not get in the group stages.

Be interesting to see how him and Gueye get on this year....

Thought he was better than McCarthy in the 21s Final.
