come on guys, read the thread the see-saw reference was regarding the bi-polar nature of this thread not about incomings and outgoings.

not everything posted has a hidden meaning

#especially this post

Oooh! Thanks as 'ever', A&C!


Think I'll start posting in white too.

ali z: Quick Update -



Expect Ade and Fazio gone, others may go to some on Loan others perm Lamela, Lennon and some youngsters.

With Clinton and Son, we now have a plethora of AMs - Clinton, Son, Eriksen, Chadli, Pritchard, Carroll, Lamela, Townsend, Dembele - 9 players for 3 spots.

Lamela seems certain to leave at this point, but it seems like more than Lamela have to move from this group to keep everyone happy.

Sorry. Signing Son's has completely gone off the radar for me now. Dont really care about that now. Im absolutely gutted over losing Azzaoui for nothing. Ugh. Terrible news. Kids gonna be a star one day and we need a winger coming up through the academy after Oduwa. This is why you sign your best youths to contracts before they get taken from underneath us. Ugh.

Taken from underneath us? So it wasn't with our blessing?

Because, I'd like to think that either -

a) we allowed him to go as we don't think he will cut the mustard, so I'll back coaches that see him everyday if they were okay with him going, or...

b) he was signed without us wanting him to go, but it was a case of he wanted to leave.. when we've got a brand spanking new huge stadium coming soon at the time he would be pushing through, he has a manager and coaches who believe in and develop talent, has fans who like and rate him highly coming through, is doing well at his level in the club and he has one of the best youth / training facilities in the world to develop in.. then put bluntly, fuck him. :whistle:

When you consider the amount of pacey WF targets we have looked at (2 signed already) its also fair to assume we really haven't seen how we want to play this season yet.

Of course not. Poch wants to play a specific way and needs specific players to do so; he's giving everyone who's here a chance but they will be moved aside/on in time if he can't see them working in his system properly.

Lamela being a prime example.

Signed a 5 year contract. Really disappointed with that news, has bags of potential. Was so happy about Son but this has put a downer on my day. Spursy

We only took him off anderlecht's hands a year ago...journeyman while still in his teens.

IIRC not the first time an additional mystery youngster has been mentioned by ITK. Would try and guess who but wouldn't know where to start as we aren't exactly lacking in youth in any areas.

We're massively missing a striker who can play up top alone in the higher age brackets I would have thought. Agree we are stacked elsewhere though

Maybe we should try for that Striker who plays for Villareal...His stats (taking out last 2 seasons) are fantastic. Soldado or something his name is!

I wonder if the youngest referred to by Ali Z is Lucumi. There was lots of talk about a 3 mil deal almost agreed a week or so back.
No disrespect but when we buy someone with that name, we will all say we have Lucumi - sounds like a disease. No disrespect!

He was voted player of the tournament few weeks ago so I thought I'd ask about him, response was "yeh he's ok". Make of that what you will but I doubt we lost the next Ronaldo as some seem to think.
