How much do you think De Ridder was on a week?

I love watching YouTube highlight reels of players, but it's funny - De Ridder always pops up in my mind when I watch them now.

So that's 11 players out the door already. ----------------FORECAST---------------- RICHARDSON--FORREN--SEABORNE--DICKSON DE RIDDER--BUTTERFIELD--CHAPLOW--REEVES ------------SEIDI--HOSKINS----------- Bit rubbish in goal, and up top. But not bad otherwise.

That crossed my mind last night as well.

Agree Adrian. They need that Cornelius fella to come good. They still need a DMC as well to fill the Wanyama role that they luckily missed out on as well.

True. 17.2m spent so far though. They were in for Ince to. Some good intent from them.

Agree, but assuming they sell Adebayor as well I still would say they need another forward.

If they had any problems with the asking price, those will certainly evaporate once Bale goes.

Not yet. I'd take Stoch & Damiao this summer, and (if I'm being greedy) Astori in January.

Agreed. Wouldn't mind using that cash on someone like Stoch now.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2382047/Southampton-tie-England-Under-19-youngster-Calum-Chambers-long-term-deal.html Random quote in there that we were going to spend £6M on a right-back.

Agree with Charlie. Great signing for Bompey. Fair play to Cardiff for the Caulker deal too - I thought that was just a tabloid rumour earlier.

Hopefully we insert a "Forren" clause and pay 1m up front, with another 21.5m to be paid after at least 10 appearances just in-case he doesn't make the grade.

Thought Spurs really rated him?

*cough* Veron *cough*

Finding it hard to find a massive list...... Found the all time Top 50... Doesn't crack that. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/statistiken/transferrekorde/transfers.html

Do you mean our total spending? Or how high up is £22.5m in record transfers?

I like how we're sharing targets with Man City now...

I'd love to know some of the figures involved in this. It's tricky to assume what they'd be on, due to probable promotion bonuses etc. Of the 8 that got released (Dickson, Seaborne, Hoskins, Reeves, Richardson, Butterfield, Seidi, Chaplow) - I'd estimate that's about 50k p/w in wages. The 7 players that have been told to look elsewhere (Martin, Hammond, Forte, De Ridder, Lee, Barnard, Sharp) - I'd estimate that's about 100k p/w in wages.

Just wonder whether the truth is that we just enquired, and were put off by the actual asking price. (Not the 9 million, mentioned by the press)

What was the last ITK post? Didn't Guan 2.0 post that we were in final talks with Halfredsson? (Apologies in advance if that's not what he said)

Do you know what? Worse threads get started than this. Does seem very quiet. Agree with Batman on the 2 positions. Will be interesting to see if thing's move on this week.

I'd be very excited by that news if the source wasn't cr*p.
