Oh I have no problem with the club saying they want to win the league. What is irritating is when weird people on here actually believe that that is achievable. Nothing wrong with the club saying it but I'm certain that they don't actually think they will be winning the league in the next couple of decades without an enormous spending increase.

Precisely. I can certainly envisage a scenario where we established ourselves in the top flight and regularly challenged for Europe. I could even see us possibly getting into a position like Spurs at some time in the future. What I don't think we have any chance at is winning the league adopting the strategy we currently have. We won't win the league unless we change our spending policy drastically and basically become a new Chelsea or Man City.

A one off competition is very different from an entire season.

Not necessarily.

Only in print. He can hold it up to his face...

Yep could well be someone sniffing around now. I mean if Bournemouth can get someone then anyone can.

Didn't Adkins just say he couldn't see it happening?

Messages like this also make me lol: What is the obsession over there with using overly emotive language and being over the top? Can they not see how cringeworthy and embarrassing they sound? It was the same with Avram.

Am astoundingly deluded post from pompeyonline:

Did your ... after Zaha imply that we would be making a bid?

Boris is a legend. He speaks a lot of sense.

Has he agreed to our terms?

The off centre S makes that slightly unsettling.

Does your yet imply that a bid will happen?

Gotcha. Suppose we don't need Palace's agreement then.

How can we offer the player a deal if we haven't agreed a deal with Palace?

We don't know if either of them are true...

Hasn't happened yet!

I would rather have Naughton TBH but in terms of value maybe Clyne is better.

Sounds about right. Will Michu play on the right in that scenario?

Don't be ridiculous.

I think he said English.

Forgot about that. Would be slightly disappointing when you consider the other names that have been linked. Still probably a good signing.

Poll please mods?

TBF we have signed two players so far and only one is young who can improve.
