With Johnson injured and Walker still out, it's a done deal IMO.

Would seem a bit of a square pegs round holes kind of move. I think we'll get a wide man too, lots going on I'd have thought.

Toby would be a great addition, had a great world cup. But struggles to get in a very good At. Madrid defence. (no shame!). I believe he can also cover right back too, and has actually played a fair few games there during his career. Sounds like it has some legs, as well. As well as the Jordy one, which makes me query why....he's not a winger, he's a DM/CM.....morgan...?

Would be a pretty fair return.

He's had a mare, that's f'sure.

Liverpool look further away from the league than they've ever looked. City have just ****ed all over them this 2nd half.

What the hell are you on about?

What's wrong with Geoff Cameron? A solid and reliable premiership pro who will add to our squad depth. What is wrong with that? I'm guessing if he was named Geoffano Camerono from Inter, then we'd all be excited.

Not entirely sure how Liverpool have any real hopes of winning the league with Johnson in that team. Awful player.

He's not fully match ready because he needs match time. He doesn't need a flaming rest!

Lazio? He's the stoke utility player. A pretty solid player if all is told, unspectacular, but a solid squad addition. Pretty much bang on in terms of a mid-table signing.

He hasn't.

Not the forum for that sort of talk, ART.

Do we need yet another thread on this?

Seems as if it's a case of ''They've left, so they're ****'' Really quite dull.

Don't forget Target, he's the cover at left back. Also pretty sure we'll see a utility player come in who can cover RM/RB and CB. I'd say in terms of depth we're stronger up front. Last season we had Lambert and Jay, and an unproven and inexperienced Gallagher. You could even say that as Jay wasn't often played up front, we only had Lambert and Gallagher. We've got Pelle, Gallagher, Long and Jay in the forward areas this year - so more depth and quality to choose from. Not sure what you meant with regards to the club missing an opportunity in the GK position, I'm pretty sure we just signed Forster with the general idea to have Boruc as the competition. It's not the clubs fault that he decided to throw his toys out, even if it was him who laughed at his lack of competition last year. Bit of a mental head is our boruc. So I think by the end of the window we will end up with a wider squad, but about 2/3 notches down in overall quality.

As the season goes on, I think we'll realise just what Rickie offered us in terms of assists and goals as we struggle to break ourselves away from the bottom half. A unique player of which Pelle is nowhere near. Tadic looks ok, but a little slow in thought and speed. Will see how he adapts as time goes on.

He's all but moved to Porto as far as I know.

I think it's that he's realised Jos and Yoshida aren't good enough. Have always felt that we'd get 2 CB's, not sure this is based on anything other than a random twitter rumour though. Apparently a Merc with a number plate V4 LAR was spotted on Marchwood bypass yesterday.

He has seemed very half hearted in the 2 games so far, he's dropped a level as it stands, it's clear to see. I'm hoping that's just because he's not had a pre-season though.

He's a great coach and has them already playing the high tempo, high press game I was so used to seeing here. Quite a depressing watch, all being told. We had something very good for a 18 months.

The goat, one of Spurs ITK's The Goat has heard that Southampton's stance on Schneiderlin has privately changed over the course of this weekend. Also that allowing us to sign him would be further entertained should Levy provide assurance regarding Townsend and agree not to make a move for Rodriguez. (No idea why he refers to himself in third party)

Still really nervous that we're floating around Spurs, what with their interest in our 2 players.
