He got only one year left in Palermo. They have bought a replacement already (Antonio Mazzotta).

Fingers crossed that we get him.

I agree this forum is for civilised debate, but the same merchants who snipe about others who wish to see the club successful, but actually offer no constructive ideas accept moan about others whose aspirations are higher than there's.
They never offer any solutions themselves, but love a good grumble about others who do try and offer solutions.
On one side of the debate, you have those who are ambitious and realistic enough to want our club to do as well as possible.
To the other side of the coin where people are just happy to be in the Premier League, and are easily pleased no matter what occurs during the season, and more or less accept it for what it is, and gush and fawn over the people who run the club as though they were performing miracles, but that's their job, and they pay themselves very well for it.
These same people want others to be just grateful that we are making up the numbers.
Well the club is not performing any more miracles than any other club fighting its corner within its means, as we prepare for the season.
Yes we are investing a lot of money into players. But if we want to continue to stay in this Division we had to.
Because we started off at a disadvantage in the first place by having a lot of players on loan, so we had a bit of catching up to do.
This is not being negative or moaning, it's stating a fact, and being realistic, you cannot compete with the big boys but continue to hide behind the settee frightened of your own shadow.
I don't want to risk going back down again for the sake of a few million quid.
Having said that, I am pleased with what the club is trying to do, they are clearly working hard behind the scenes, but at the same time don't want to be ripped off, and are clearly still attempting to bring in players for either a starting position or for cover, and I appreciate their efforts, because once that window shuts we are on our own.
What I feel is magnifying the recruitment debate, and fueling feelings.
Is this final few hours to the deadline, is the left back spot, which has to be resolved for more than one reason.
Therefore, because the club know this as well as we do, I would like to think that they will get a left back over the line, and it would not surprise me if we obtain at least another player also, we will all know soon enough.

I know it's part of the game these days but I wish that we didn't take it to the last minute. No doubt in my mind that this has to be the best window in memory & I love to see Fulham's name in the news but I'm a "build from the back" supporter & this window is nerve wrecking.

[rusty shackleford]

I cant believe people actually believe we will sign 4 or 5 players by 5pm tomorrow

I'd honestly settle for a lb.

[rusty shackleford]

I think we will have 2.

Guilavogui (?!) and a LB, possibly a last min out of the blue LB if Targett doesnt happen

[the nutflush]

Agree.  Its like having some school homework you have had two weeks to do but leave it up till the night before its due and you haven't started.  And every window we end up running around like headless chicken paying overs for scraps.

new keeoer, two cbs, and a utility CB/lb not enough for you. I get we need a recognised lb and our RB isn't as good as last year's, but we have certainly tried to build form the back. So much so that we could actually be fielding a complete new back 5 (including the keeper) come September when everyone is fit

The investment in CB's is astounding considering we only had Kalas, Ream and Djalo at the start of last season.

got a feeling that they genuinely don't wish to sell him. Think we are waisting our time personally. Not once have they said that our bids were well below there expectations, or anything along those lines.hope we have a plan b if that is the case

Who says we are paying over the odds for players and please name the scraps!

Why don't you wait till 5.00 tomorrow, then you can possibly have a moan!

[Roberty]

We are reaching the point of no return - the last chance saloon - deals to be done that could not be done earlier - hopes and dream tempered by the reality of time running out

Targett - will be be a happy chappy sitting on the bench next to Hughes for the rest of the season?
Boyata - already refused to sign a new contract - he can walk away next summer - will Celtic take the risk?

Spurs planning a deadline day bid for Sess according to Dean Jones

£55m and Danny rose I would be tempted

[rusty shackleford]

45 + Rose + Moussa

[rusty shackleford]

I actually think the most important reason to keep Sess is that by selling him for straight cash in a year or 2 we can offset some of the spending from this summer

[DevonFFC]

45 + Rose + Moussa

And llorente on loan

[Sebb86]

45 + Rose + Moussa

Sounds good! ;)
