Saint Charlie

Shawcross or Huth I reckon.

Pretty clear that's what he meant I reckon.

FFS he isn't always going to play there for us!

Decent player but I would have Jay Rod over Rhodes. IMO Rhodes is a Sharp type player, good goals corer but not got the all round game or mobility for the top level.

Rhodes hugely overpriced.

This. Lambert could get injured tomorrow and be out all season, you need depth. We all said last year we had no Lambert replacement, we do now. NA playing him wide whilst we had no other options, we will by Friday 11pm.

He is a poor keeper...

His passing ability doesn't get worse in a higher division, it's that none of our players make runs like AOC did. If Mayuka makes good runs Schneiderlin is good enough to pick him out. Ditto Lallana, Ramirez.

So they have two deals done with the money we are giving them.

Yes...as we did with AOC. Remember Morgan pinging several quality balls Into his path.

They are signing Patience (Italian translation of his name) from Juve with some of the Ramirez money.

All quiet. Maybe the Italian media haven't been fed any info today? Probably because Bologna can't put anymore spin on it: they are selling their best player.

Im sure Spurs have known Dembele's price for a while. He has a release clause in his contract so that makes it a more simple deal - the terms are already decided. The Ramirez deal involves a complex third party agreement and Italians....

Martini - whats your opinion on Yoshida? Seen much of him? Ive heard mixed reviews from in Holland?

Surely we pay the 30%?

Interesting - probably means nothing but a coincidence all the same.

He can say that...we did almost buy Buttner so not beyond the realms of possibility... Absolutely ideal would be Ramirez, Yoshida and then a left back who can also play CB.

So squad numbers left over...3, 10, 15, 17, 24 Ramirez wears 10 for Bologna and Uruguay...in talks to sign rumours been offered 10 shirt Mayuka wore 24 for Young Boys...signed - will wear 24 Yoshida wears 3 for VVV...in talks to sign...will he wear 3, 15 or 17 I wonder Seems well planned to me...need to find a 15 & 17 - Chamberlain and Nani? In addition to Clyne, Davis and Jay Rod who all retained their numbers from last season at their respective clubs.

Agree with that.

Tries hard but has had chances to impress in the Championship and never quite delivered (although he never got a run of games). Wouldn't be suprised if he left back to Holland and then came over again in a couple of years and was decent.

Answer: No. But whist we are at it we obviously should target better defenders than Fonte and Hooiveld ratehr than just getting bodies in who are not going to improve the team but will improve the squad.

From a Dutch Football Account on Twitter: Rough translation: Yoshida missed either a game or training last night fuelling rumours of a quick departure.

Three plus Mayuka I assume rather than three including? Hopefully Ramirez, CB, LB or Ramirez CB, CB

Didn't play last night.
