...and a left back. If Fox has an injury as quoted, and Shaw has a knock this week, we're out of left backs, besides Clyne who can cover there if needed. Left back is still one of the positions we need strengthened, whether it be Buttner, Olsson or whoever.

It does a bit, but probably only 5 of those will start vs Man City.

Stephens at centre back. Now he's been converted from full back, does that mean he's a better young prospect than Martin, who we shipped out on loan? I've always thought Martin has looked very good when I've seen him...

As the squad addition option of two Centre Back signings perhaps, but at least one CB we bring in has to be better than Fonte.

They'll be lucky. Huddersfield are refusing to sell but I get the feeling if he were to leave, it'd take a relatively big bid from a Premier League club. I wouldn't be surprised to see him still at Huddersfield on September 1st.

That may be why we've pulled out of it. Fulham are welcome to him, if so.

I guess it's off, but did Buttner play for Vitesse tonight?

I've done that. Twas an army bloke in civvies. I only found out afterwards. I don't recommend it, intoxicated or not.

I've been having proper lols thi summer with my fake football rumours rumours. It gets people devoid of a sense of humour very worked up. Tis funneh.

Good at being in the pub/knobbing the wife/being anywhere but at work.

CB, CB, GK, LB, RM would make us a complete team IMO, although we could get through to January with one CB, a LB and a RM IMO. I'm a glutton for signings though, I love them and it perks me right up. If I were a Watford fan. I'd have been a bit moist yesterday when they signed seven! Come on Saints, three in today!!!

Done. I'm happier with the Premier League team than the Sky team but neither will win. Crudzilla to finish last!

I'm ITK. He also shaves, eats food, and has a penis.

When people come up to me at work and say "Hi, how're you doing?" They're not wrong in saying it, and yes it's polite, but what do they think, I'm stuck at work when I'd rather be in the pub/knobbing the wife/be anywhere but there. Short of replying "Well I'll be happier when I'm finished", customer service dictates that "I'm good". :-D

It hasn't happened yet. It was a premonition I invented so that the song worked.

Tony Dorigo never played for us, but I vaguely remembered a random left back that joined us, and after much research on the internet, I found him, although he's listed as a striker - Jason Bowen. Anyone remember his spell for us?

That is a cracking "news" article in The Star. They may as well have stuck a pair of boobs in there to liven it up a bit. So, does anyone actually know anything about Adam Davies? Aside from his name is Adam Davies, he's a keeper and he's from Everton? I take it this means Gazzaniga is our number 2?

... as long as it's not niggling or repetetive, that's good news. Still, if we did sign, say, Gary Hooper now, I wouldn't go round complaining we didn't need another striker.

"Nathaniel Clyne, good times never felt so good, I am inclined, to believe they never would...." Tune of Sweet Caroline, lyrics altered.

Same tune, I was going with "Dogging with Clyne is so fine, so fine, Dogging with Clyne is so fine."... following his early season exploits in the New Forest.

Wouldn't hurt to bring another one in for a testing first season. We don't know the extent of Lee's injury. Sharp, Lambert and JRod alone all season would be pushing it. If we can afford a striker as well as three defenders, a keeper and a right winger, it wouldn't hurt to look if the right target became available. (I do however think we'll stick with what we have until at least January.)

QPR's signings would underwhelm me if I were a Ranger's fan. Aging nomads looking for a last pay day, Fabio, who's proven to be not as good as his twin, and Junior Hoilett who's a good signing but still potential. Park is probably the signing I'd have been happiest with, and it's yet to be proven how good he is in a team that isn't Man Utd! Reading fans are excited with their signings too. Not sure I'd be.

+1!

"Know what I mean". No, I don't, because you talk like an arse. Incidentally this thread should be in the Lounge. Far too sensible for the Muppet Show.

I would never fly EasyJet or Ryanair, too many bad stories from friends. Strangely though I don't have a problem with Thomson, First Choice or Thomas Cook flights. I'm off to Cyprus to my Dad's place in September, and Thomas Cook was by far the cheapest flights I found, and they do a bundle too, which includes a meal, allocated seats and 20kgs of luggage in the hold. Good value it was, and cheaper than Easyjet or Ryanair once you've added on all their extras.
