it's not my money obviously but really think the price difference between depay (£15m) and griezmann (£24m) could be admissible when you see how one's already the real deal and one could be the next lennon in waiting

@harj_jhutie about to stop soon so enjoy it ! I'm going silent in August !




fuck.
August, JJ goes dark.:ninja: *Jack Bauer heavy breathing*

Better lap it up for the next few days then. Also, club must be trying to get some serious business done on top targets to go on lockdown, so will bear the suspense.

Griezman inconsistent ?? Lol. Heard it all now. Someone ask JJ what the fuck Lennon, Townsend and Ade are still doing at the club. Lennon has done squat for years.

No wonder our transfer strategy is so hit and miss if the committe think Griezmann is inconsistent lol

Quite like JJs honestly regarding Griezmann. Not saying I agree with it, just people get caught up in hype, statistics, pro thinking of others who think we may have chance of getting him and build him up to a certain level. Considering how many times Real Sociedad are on live in UK I do wonder sometimes, even more so re: Ukrainian league.

has jetset said anything about the vlad rumours? i really hope they're nonsense.
I asked him but no reply as he was asked lots of diff q's around that time and don't think he will answer any.

The thing that worries me is the reporter, Alan Nixon, has been on the money with Spurs news so far. That said, it doesn't make sense to swap (and pay money) a 29 year old who only has 1 year left on his contract and has been poor in the epl (who I don't believe will suit a high line) for a 23 y/o who has been our best player in pre-season. Especially when De Vrij, Schar and Astori are available for 8m.

And to add to that, surely Holtby's guile/creativity and intensity are going to appeal to Poch? surely.

No mention of Velkovic - he's starting tonight.

Along with the winner for fastest ITK-signing-teamsheet: Davies

There's a lot to be positive about which after last season is something, Lloris signing, a quality LB, top drawer backup GK, ITK on Schneiderlin and a possible LWF.

Players not only seem happy to stay, but are keen to come.

Poch must be doing something right off the pitch at least......let's hope he's as effective when we are on the pitch, if so we have a real diamond here.

That Nixon report (who I agree has been spot on) only suggests we'd be in for Vlaar. Nowt about Chiriches.

I could go with this. Vlaar was generally excellent for Villa last year and they were terrible without him, really missed his presence. I know he's 29 but swapping him for Dawson is a big upgrade & you never know he could come in as first change behind Verts & Chiriches who both really suit Poch IMO.

Frankly, I'd far sooner swap him for Kaboul.

..... and bring a decent dose of experience, which in a CB is worth a few extra yards of pace, let alone the positive effect on the other less experience defenders.

If it's a swap for Dawson, then fair enough (but I still think there is much better available) but the report says Holtby will be the player they will try to push in the swap, and I don't want that at all.
