Ouch, 2 new CB's it is...!

Given that he didn't really play for us, I don't think we need a replacement.

How the hell does he still get a chance to play in the CL, it's crazy. He doesn't deserve these clubs.

So basically, £7m isn't enough, offer a bit more and after we've sorted this game then he is yours.

2-3 wtf.

Well, yeah. It's still funny watching them get worked up though. MP has no room for error this year.

Turgid, predictable, slow, with the creative three doing feck all, the onus is all on our fullbacks who try too much and get caught up field, exactly the same as last season, if Poch don't try something different he is gone by xmas, I thought all our youngsters were creditable.

For some reason unknown to anyone, Spurs are playing 2 friendlies this week before they play at 12:45 on Saturday. Their first friendly was a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. They seem a little upset on their forums. I came across this post, and then thought it sounded so similar to our days under MP. ''Giving the ball away again, **** goalkeeping, nice strike. Lots of passing, no penetration or threat. We need more threat up front, poor Kane isolated far too much at times.'' ''Giving the ball away again, **** goalkeeping, nice strike. Lots of passing, no penetration or threat. We need more threat up front, poor Lambo isolated far too much at times.''

Watford are the ones you need to ask that question of. I believe they've signed 12 or 13 new players. All foreigners from all over the world. Mixed reputations and an almighty gamble.

They'll go back to their grass roots sides and be told to ''GET IT AWAY, HIT IT LONG, DON'T **** AROUND WITH IT''

Yeah, in our L1 days. And he was a right annoying idiot - but all clubs have them! Cheers for the pic by the way ullowl

I think Shaw is in the background, he didn't turn out too badly. No idea what happend to McNish tbh. Reeves is a pretty handy player for MK though.

A year or so ago this guy was up there with Draxler and Gotze in terms of german reputation. He was wanted by everyone when he was at Bochum (i think). Tipped to be the next Bastian by many, but is seemingly prone to muscle injuries. He only played 10 games (3starts) last year. If we feel we can get him at a 'cut price' fee because of this, and we believe our fitness/sports science will get to the bottom of last years issues, then it's a true no brainer.

I just cannot see how in any way we can get him for that fee, we're talking upwards of £25-30m. Unless he is truly crocked.

This would be a truly ridiculous signing.

I don't know about you, but I'm dreading pre-season 18/19.

I don't mind it. Personally, why are we moaning about this? Surely we should be having a good old moan about next years pre-season and the one after that? That's where the hot topic lies right now.

And that's fine by me. That would mean I get to see my team winning a fair few games in the top league, and against some of the biggest teams in the world. We're simply not going to become one of the 'big' lot, so it's about accepting that and just enjoying the ride. I'd much rather be here than struggling to make the playoffs in the NPC.

It doesn't feel like we've had a break at all this year, it's come around so quickly. It's always funny looking back at these threads 10 months on, as you either look like a genius or a little silly! I'll put my neck on the line and make a few calls. I think Watford will struggle big style. Too many signings, too much change. Bournemouth will do better than them, but will ultimately fall short. Bit boring and standard, but I think Norwich will go down again as well. My 'surprise' call is for WHU to struggle all season, I just don't like the way they've done things this summer. I fancy Chelsea to retain the league, just. I think Arsenal and Utd will give them a run for their money this year - but City will threaten to open the 4th place door wide open to a Liverpool or a Spurs. We should do Top 10 I'd have thought. I think a lot is made of the extra games in Europe and a lot of managers use it as a convenient excuse a lot of the time. If we're still in Europe after Christmas and finish in the Top 10 of the PL then that will be an incredibly impressive season for me.

Yeah, Turnbull 100%. He played their friendly v Liverpool yesterday. I reckon the likes of Isgrove will go out on loan, not that I believe he has any future here tbh.

Ah you bugger, I thought he'd signed when I saw this thread!

Because he's not very good?
