I see that Man U got RVP bing, bam ,bam. Announced and done. But we just keep dragging on and on and on; then nothing ever happens. What's wrong with this picture?? Everything DL does takes forever and then never happens at all. Season opens tomorrow and we don't have a legitimate strike force other than Defoe. If he goes down, we're toast. I would tell Ade to go bugger off into the jungle and kick a few coconuts around.
Spend the money and get a decent striker or two for the long term.

Because most clubs see the bigger picture. They see the players they need and get them. Potentially, levy's p.ssin around could and prob will cost us points. Tomoro's game, we could of gone into that with modric well gone, 2 top strikers a gk and a midfielder.
What worries me is he had his chance to make us 'a prem great' in January, he is doing the same thing again.
His penny pinching is costing us big time. It is putting us back into a top mid table team again.

No Sigs? No Lennon ? No Defoe ? No Gio ?
Surely you can't except these 4 to be on the bench as that wouldn't leave much depth else where incase of injury / tact swap

Whats with the Parker thing ? He isnt a scratch on Sandro , back up yes . And anyway the two of them cant play together !!!!

My opinion is that Moutinho and a Striker are on their way. Why else would AVB tell the press that we've been "out-priced" if it wasn't to keep other clubs from starting a bidding war? If we couldn't afford him then AVB would surely just keep quiet about it.
I also don't think we will need to sign 2 strikers as I believe GDS will get a chance to play this season.

I really want to see gio play just to see what he can do for us, always plays well for Mexico!

My team for tomorrow:
(4-2-3-1)
Friedel
Walker
Kaboul (but wouldn't be suprised to see Dawson)
Vertonghen
BAE
Sandro
Livermore
Lennon
VDV (although i suspect Siggy will start)
Bale
Defoe
IMO if you swap Livermore for Moutinho and Defoe for either Ade or Damiao in this starting XI we have a stronger squad than last year. Moutinho and Modric are of a similar level, in fact Moutinho is more suited to the deep-lying role and the hard pressing of AVB. We finally have competition in the CAM position, meaning we have two goal scoring midfielders and don't have to worry every time VDV pulls a hammy. Plus, AVB will give fringe players more chances than Redknapp ever did, which means there could be genuine back up in the wide areas with the GDS and Townsend getting some games to keep competition high and players fresh. All we need is the two transfers stated above. COYS.

First 11 is no stronger than last year? And we have fewer squad players? We're not gettin moutinho or damiao! No logic but plenty of optimism, Wish I shared it!

We are in obvious need of a playmaker with luka on.gov way to.Madrid. Instead of buying a replacement I'd be happy to play dos Santos there. He is a very talented player still young and I reckon.it would work a treat. What's everyone one else think.

I thought of that as well and u also have van der vaart or sig to swap and play in diff pos, so we dont have to get another playmaker, can spend big on forwards

Dos santos has never ever played centre mid in his life and he ain't gonna start now

I think you have put full stops in the wrong place, As for Gio.....he will go.
Agree0

Gio can sign a pre contract with anyone he likes come January then leave for free at the end of the season. He has said man times bedore thathe wont sign a new contract.Does anyone really think Levy will let that happen?? Gio will be gone before Aug 31st and anyone with half a brain knows this.
FFS - Give it a break on the GDS rubbish.

It probably means if we get a new keeper, then he will be the one going and freeing up the number 1

Would love to see hernandez at the club personally a great player can score and with hernandez now 4th choice why not put in a £10 millon pound bid in.
Also ade will sign shortly followed by another striker and then a midfielder will come in to replace modric. Maybe moutinho (although i dont see spurs wanting to sign a player for over £25 million or maybe mvilla for £15 million. And then hopefully a GK either stekelenburg or lloris or butland or cesar

Consider that we play 4-5-1 with Bale upfront supported by Siggi, Sandro, VDV, THud/Livermore, GDS/Lennon and it is not so worrying

Southampton have bid accepted for Gaston Rameriz of 11.5 now if they can offer better wages to a quality player than we can some thing not right.Levy stop taking the mick out of players with crap wage offers if we get outdone by Southampton u are making us look a complete joke stop looking for cheap options n prove you want this club to challenge for honours {Ed001's Note - they are only paying him 30k a week, so it wasn't a wage issue, it was the transfer fee that Spurs wouldn't pay.}
Believable1
Unbelievable1
Was reading on other sites that fee accepted by club but Rameriz was unhappy with Levys wage offer even if this is not right we should not be getting out bid by Southampton for a quality player who would be a good signing for us Levys penny pinching and cheap average player options will make us a mid table team again

Someone somewhere saw something they didn't like about his prospects in the EPL we weren't the only team that didn't pursue him.

AVB says he has no interest in m'vila due to him being defensive minded and he is looking for a creative midfielder. He has also said he won't be going for moutinho, so where does that leave us? Personally I can't see any "superstar" signings but we obviously need some goals in the form of a target man. Being realistic I think the best we can hope for is ade. Not what we all want I know but I just can't see Hulk, leandro, llorente etc. also why not take a punt on Dempsey who seems to want a move, attacking midfielder/forward who knows where the net is??

According to AVb himself he is not interested in M'vila. do you think he is just trhowing us off the scent or he genuinely has no interest. And would this mean he will join arsenal

I have feeling he is joining Arsenal. They are selling Song & its gone quiet on M'Vila. I am more concerned about signing a couple of strikers!
