Who exactly would be stupid enough to bet on Lallana going to PSG ? Honestly do they ever think before compliling these lists. Strange that he's 6/4 for Liverpool though, isn't he an Everton fan really ? What on earth would Liverpool want with Lallana ?

Absolutely, this year's income will probably be around 90 million, unless the owner needs (or wants) to start taking money out of the club then I really can't see what our problem is. 2012/13 salarial mass was 47.1 million for everybody, we've added 3 players since then and sold Puncheon for 1.75 million,Forren for about the same and loaned out Fox,Sharp,Martin,Mayuka,Barnard etc and Cortese who was paid 1.96 million has gone about half-way through the financial year. At most our total salarial mass for the year 2013/14 will be about 55 million so I just cannot see the problem.

What debt, what is this debt, we owe a few transfer fees, surely the PL handout will cover that, what's the rest of this debt ????

We don't know that, although he has said this week that we need new players for the squad and as everything that's worth anything from the academy has already been drafted in I guess that means buying or at least signing players. Don't even mind if we don't "spend big". We need to keep what we have, get shot of the crap, Osvaldo,Gaston,Mayuka etc and invest the resulting funds in 3 or 4 players of quality. If we could get say 20 million for those 3 we'd have nearly enough for 3 Lovrens, makes you think doesn't it.

We do create chances, we just miss them that's all. Lambert,Lallana and Davis all had chances last week, all of them failed to convert on that occasion. It's a recurring factor of our season, we dominate and create but don't convert.

Probably because he couldn't see the necessity for corner shop economics.

which have as of yet not been explained to me, as I've said before if the owner is not capable of serious investment then she should sell us to someone who is. All clubs owe transfer fees because they're not yet due, we'll get a good whack from the PL this season and should make a profit, so we pay our oustanding transfer fees and contract some new ones. It's the way football works, perhaps someone should tell that to the German lawyer and the Ice Hockey ex-player. We'll certainly not be a big hit on the US commercial scene by selling our best players.

And yet Uncle Ralph tells us that no-one Mauricio wants to keep will be sold, does that mean MP doesn't want to keep Lallana then? I am totally confused.

Old Glasgow Saint and Ancient Bazza would have been moaning about us only finishing second though.

so that would be...18.75 million for us and 6.25 million for Bournemouth then, probably both less VAT, making our share in theory about 15 million £. Can't see that being true, not worth it for us at that price. The thought of actually giving 6.25 million to Bournemouth AFC is also revolting, they'll only waste it....

T'is true, can't see any reason whatsoever for Reed not being apparent though. Morgan takes a lot of knocks every single game so that's less of a surprise. I've noticed him rubbing his head often enough in recent games why that is I've no idea.

Nope they've been pushed back to Friday am on a regular basis of late, for home games anyway.

Nope..... could be elsewhere or just not snapped though, can't see Harry Reed either. Probably means nothing at all.

Well considering they've had all types of manager ranging from the dinosaur Redknapp to the youthful Vilas-Boas I don't think you can really identify a stereotype of Spurs manager. Pochettino is favourite with the bookies but I don't know how much that really means. Don't see why they can't keep Sherwood, then again I don't like them much either.

I thought that I was being perfectly fair to them by citing possible reasons as to why they've been seen to do nothing as of yet. I personally have no confidence whatsoever in them but that's just me and I'll no doubt be proved to be a doubting Thomas. Personally I think if this set up had been at all serious about taking the club forward we'd have appointed a CEO or chairman with some sort of basic experience when we supposedly ran interviews for that post and not have wound up with a talks a good job chairman and a chief beancounter CEO.

No Morgan or Harry Reed visible in the training pics either, could be just camera shy this week I suppose.

I'm pretty sure Gaston is out for the season with both ankles troubling him. Isn't there anyone else that we can play instead of JWP, absolutely anonymous last week.

They have a 25 man group, they can use it however they want really, it's when you start bringing in players from the U21s who've never played before that you'll as likely as not be in trouble. It's just José intox anyway. It's like us starting McQueen and Rowe on Saturday, if we did that we'd as likely as not be in line for a bit of an investigation what with Everton and the Arse battling it out for a CL place, whereas if we played Guly and Jos it would be OK.

A long time from now. If you remember Cortese secured all of our key players on long term contracts last season. Most of them have 3 or 4 more years left. Something the new order don't seem to have been doing, unless they've just not made such a song and dance about it which is entirely possible although Jack Cork is the only key player with a relatively short time left I think.

To ber fair Pap doesn't have conspiracy theories, he just doesn't discount entirely other peoples'.

Perhaps we should never have phased out the old police cadet system, although that only took youngsters from 16 onwards and was more of a police apprenticeship than anything else.

Doubt it, Ottery makes stuff up in a sort of positive way.

HMS Dragon was on Joint Warrior a couple of weeks back, they probably got confused.

HMS Dragon wasn't it ?

The number of decent replacements that we could get is well.... innumerable.
