They're clearly not going to spend £72m in one window, are they? A pointless criticism laid at them, if there ever was one. If you expect that sort of outlay, then go and support City.

I personally think they're getting a bit confused, and the fact is that inter offered us both players. And our preference is Tadier.

hmm, I do hope I'm wrong, but if we do get Schelotto it does suggest a reverse to the days of filling the squad with average players just for the sake of filling the squad.

They'll be getting the Forecast end of the deal.

When Cortese was here, he put too big a fee on the uneeded players heads. Think he was looking for 2-3m for Sharp.

New striker lined up then...you'd have thought.

He was only asked about Taider.

Wenger says he has not approached Southampton over Morgan Schneiderlin. ...I wonder if we should add a 'yet' to the end of that?

Yeah, Hazard was utter pants wasn't he? Can't think of a single thing he did all tournament.

It seems that he's right when it's positive news, but wrong when it's a negative slant.

Just get a feeling that this will drag, and drag....and drag.......but we'll get him in the end.

Yedlin? On trial at Liverpool with a view to a contract. No ****, they want everyone.

What are you on about? He's clearly not that bad, is he? Slight OTT to say the least.

But if he's as **** as he's been at every other club in the last 2 seasons, then it won't be that useful.

Your lot can do one for a start...

Umm, no thanks! Let's not start taking the dross off of every other team here...

James is such an odd one, it's always the same. Terrific pre-seasons, looks immense, takes it into the start of the season and eventually drifts away.... He's a talent, there's no 2 ways about it - but he's got to find a way of putting that over an entire season, which he's struggled to so far.

There's quite an odd ''ITK'' sticky thread on the Spurs forums, which is populated by who they say are genuine ITK's and it is heavily moderated to remove rubbish. This appeared this morning:

Koeman specifically stated he wants another striker.

Tadier has been on our list for about 18-24 months, one we have continued to track. And now an opportunity has arisen and we're taking it.

Better than last season, I'd hope.

2 more signings for free though, club has got to be happy with that I guess it allows us to focus on spending the $$ on another striker and sorting out the CB and GK area's - that's where I feel Koeman wants to add real quality to. These signings just bolster the squad depth some more, which is something we didn't really have last year.
