Is this the start of the long backtrack?

Don Draper's quality, don't you think? I was actually on the Vodka Martinis when I was viewing this last weekend Very well written character study on many levels and very rewarding. Christ the role of women in the workplace in those days!! Err.. S02ep1 is knocking around btw.

exactly paying over the odds when were supposedly cutting back for someone who might just get on the odd time doesn't appeal to me I'd rather pay £5 million for Warnock than roughly the same amount for a pile of shite like Riise as rumoured a couple of months back. Riise is light years ahead of Warnock. At kicking the ball really, really hard maybe. Riise was out of his depth last year and he'll be out of his depth at Roma. And great news about Collocini as well. Has there been any reported fees knocking about since we had interest reported? Warnock isn't half the player, regardless of what level they play at. Shit better tell KK!!

Collo.

5m... fck that You can't have it both ways ant dear.

Window seat?

Good post, but frankly top 8 should be the baseline. If Wise and Co get their fingers out. **Moutinho to Everton and Rakitic has CL footie. I just dont think things are as bad as alot of people hea make out, alot are still in FFS days expecting token signings, big names on big wages, i quite like the fact that we arent going down the route of throwing money about and signing overated washed up mercenaries, guthrie to me is a good signing, and spiderman could be a brilliant signing, i seem alot of him last year and he was tremendous. I do concur with the majority that we need players in but my agreement end when people say we will be fighting relegation if we dont sign many more. The squad we have is small but has quality, and im waering my buttet proof vest and helmet when i say this but i think smith could come good this year too, duff showing signs of improvement, its just the likes of geremi, ameobi and cacapa should of been offloaded since we shifted most the dead wood already! Iv been silent for a while, reading and observing people feelings and though it pains me to say it danny b speaks alot of sence, and we should look at how spurs have come about the last 3 seasons whilst we have waned. Its about restrucuting, rebuilding, consolidating and hard work. People expect too much on hea imo...i dont think we will get into europe this season but im not ruling it out, this season to me is about having a full season under KK and MA together, setting things up for the future and stabelising the club, come january KK will know if Duff, Viduka, Smith, Geremi and Barton are going to cut it for us and them will have a good opinion on wether they stay or go. Rome wasnt built in a day, neither was it built of foundations of shit... The rumours are that Smith is to be given one more season.

Lennon??? where did that come from? I think itd be coloccini tbh, he has agreed terms with us and im sure the two clubs have been ironing out the creases on the deal... Turan still in the pipelines? Thought that wasdead in the water weeks ago? His agent took to a crack pipe and started 'announcing' he would play at a top Italian club, but as far as I know, no big Italian or Spanish club have met the valuations. I wouldn't give up on Arda just yet, he was definitely one of our main targets if you sift through all the fallout month before last. He was linked strongly with Arsenal who plumped for a much better value Nasri, Juve etc are looking at bigger players, not someone who has just broken into the national side as is being touted at €18m or whatnot....As you are I'm confident about Collo, but KK must have a marque transfer up his sleave I can just feel it today.

I'm edgy, but I wouldn't say I'm worried yet. Quite confident we'll get 3 more players in 2 of which will be good ones.

Can't be Lennon surely??

Good lads, get some anti-jinx posts in. The only other two that are ongoing are: Turan and Warnock. Can't remember but I think Inler said no..??

My money is on it being Aaron FUCKING Spears Think it will be Capucinno.

NooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooO oooOOOOOooooooooo111IIll!!!

Clearly Faye can play there, but I'd rather him as a CD. The other thing is if Capucinno comes in, Faye may be the one competing for the DM slot. I could be swayed but I don't think either Faye or Butt (legs not what they were??) have a good enough all-round game (distribution especially) to be our only two for the coming season. Discuss.

9pm Well Parky, based on what I saw of them against Liverpool and the fact they played last night, if we can't beat them we 're officially pish. We've got our better players missing and it's not like Liverpool where they did massive rotations with a generally high standard. when the younger lads come on it will be hard to get a result. KK might try Guti as a forward. What did you think of Rodnei? Did he play?

Mid-table side. Freidrich and Raffael are the better players. They should tonk what we're taking out there no probs. Don't know if they're still using wing-backs, but can be tricky in that formation. For me it's a chance to have a look at one or two young Brazilians..Cicero etc.. They are ahead of us in fitness and we aren't really taking most of our impact players so 3-1 or 4-1 to them.
