A month or so ago both Ronald & Les, in separate interviews, said that we wouldn't need to sign many players. Les said this about our summer needs: So lets assume that we we wanted to sign 2 to 3 players before we lost anyone. After our 3 sales (Vic, Mane, Pelle) & add a GK to the mix - We already need 4 players before we've even added any numbers to last years group. Will certainly be interesting to see who we get linked too from here on out, and to keep an eye on who from the U21's catch Claude's eye.

If he wants to go, we should raise up the drawbridge like we did with Morgan & Vic and keep him for 1 more season. Losing Tadic / Pelle / Mané in one summer would be utter madness.

On trial at Yeovil. (Still under contract with us though) http://www.ciderspace.co.uk/ASP/news/news.asp?NewsItemId=25484

TBF, we probably need Kostic as well as Tadic don't we?!

I've no doubt that is true. Tadic is soul survivor of the "5 players that want out" that K,Billy mentioned some time ago. Lets hope we can get it sorted.

Unlike West Ham to break ranks and publicly mention transfers

£2m. Relative bargain by today's standards

Chelsea FC ‏@ChelseaFC It's official! Welcome to Chelsea, N'Golo Kante! http://che.lc/B8CUW9 #WelcomeKante

DOUBT OVER SAKHO'S WEST HAM FUTURE Diafra Sakho has refused to travel with the squad for West Ham’s pre-season tour to Austria, according to Sky sources. The striker handed in a transfer request earlier this month after the club publicly admitted its interest in signing a big-name forward. SSN understands two Premier League clubs, as well as Sevilla and Hamburg, have all enquired about Sakho’s availability.

SPURS EYE MARSEILLE WINGER Tottenham have joined the race to sign Marseille wide man George-Kevin N’Koudou, according to reports in La Provence. However, the north London club face competition for the France U21 international's signature from the likes of both Hamburg and Sevilla. N’Koudou, 21, is expected to cost around €15m.

Isn't that a 4-4-2 diamond?

& when they do (Vardy) they get rejected I'm expecting them to sign a diminutive attacking midfielder that they don't need any day now.

Re: Kante release clause.

I believe it was. He always impresses me pre-season.

Thanks Windows.

Strange how Mahrez doesn't seem to have been linked with anyone. Kante is a tremendous signing for Chelsea.

Where was he playing? Right or left back?
