Window Cleaner

Indeed restriction of trade is not permitted,however if they have refused loan moves then the case becomes less clear. We have to allow them to attend training of some sort or other I think.

what for ? Loan window doesn't close and none of those 3 will be going to a top flight team..well unless it's in Albania or something.

oooh don't kid yourself that Sochaux will be financing his salary all by themselves, not on meagre LFP handouts and 10000 home crowds. Sochaux's total budget must be somewhere around 32 million £, about half of our PL handout not to mention commercial and ticket revenues.

you risk being seriously disappointed then, they are awful, narrowly escaped relegation last season and this season isn't really looking any better. No money because of all the Peugeot layoffs over the years. He'd have been far better off going to the NPC but I seriously suspect that he wanted to be nearer Switzerland for some reason or other. To judge the level of your average ligue 1 team you just have to look at the Europa League qualifiers, St Etienne booted out by some Danish side or other and Nice (4th last time round) overturned by a Chypriot club I think. PSG+Monaco = loadsamoney,Marseille keeping battling and hoover up some young French talent cos Marseille well it's Marseille but the rest is garbage. Lyon were put out of the CL fairly easily by Sociedad...yeah right.

who knows, everybody is always off to Arsenal but they don't actually sign many players. Once they've paid 42 odd million for Ozil (if he doesn't turn them down again) they'll probably have about enough left for Ba.

Billy Sharp is just the man they need then.

thought he could have done better than Sochaux, they aren't all that good but as it's right on the Franco/Swiss border perhaps this is a move to put him back nearer where he wants to be. Thought we might have been interested in Boudebouz from FCSM but he's now going to Bastia for a measly million €s

If he deserved his chance another club would have snapped him up by now. There must be some fundamental reason as to why he isn't playing for us or anyone else.

perhaps we were doing England U21s a favour, personally I'd be concerned over our insistance with JWP and Chambers when there are obviously better players available. Smacks of Rupert Lowe in his finest hours.

school's still out though

he's gone, apparently, you never know which of these are genuine. https://www.facebook.com/emmanuel.mayuka.fanpage

think he has, season long loan.

why not, people paid £25 to watch us play them just a couple of years back. Think we might see something approaching the full side out as well, winnable game will leave us what, 2 games from Wembley ?

perhaps he's put in a written request, he can't be happy with the current situation now can he. From an undisputed starter to 4th choice is hard to assume.

no good adding players if you're afraid to drop Lambert so that you finish with a mish-mash of blokes out of position. It's either Osvaldo or Lambert but not both. If we add a wide man you'd have to drop Lallana or JWP but we don't seem willing to do that just now.

perhaps but Liverpool are still hoovering up anyone with a pair of boots, Sakho and now Moses on loan as well in just the last 2 days. How much have they actually spent this summer ?

Doubt if we'll do anything more, wouldn't mind a left back myself, someone like Assou Ekotto but apparently QPR are trying to get him on loan. Difficult to get players out of London once they get in there, seem attached to it with a bit of string, like Puncheon.

didn't get enough time for me to judge really, missed a couple of half chances, doesn't look like a winger . Spurs are spendthrift, they buy far too many players, what do they intend to do with Holtby and Sigurdsson who were last season's best thing since sliced bread.

All will be better once the transfer window shuts tomorrow, no more ins and no more first team outs. Think that there may be a few undecided issus until then.

signed Flamini though.

well on what I saw today, early days admittedly, they've been ripped off, they should keep Bale and give all the rest to Real for about 20 million, job lot. Soldado won't make the grade cos he looks like a right Mary.

as I said in the thread before Wanyama signed consistency will take a while to achieve because in Scotland you can blow hot and cold and no-one would notice due to the execrable standard of the opposition most weeks.

or perhaps he just wants not to have to duck out of the England U21s yet again. But for 20 million I'd certainly sell him cos he's not worth that .

not when the ref won't give you any.

Chambers does not get forward all that well, not like Clyne anyway and Fox doesn't get forward at all so if Lallana is playing behind the strikers what do you do, oh yes stick a CM out there
