Only issue is Drogba's age. I don't imagine Levy would pay alot for a player of 33 years of age, regardless of who he is. Also how much do you think Chelsea would ask for him? We'd probably never agree a price.

Why would we have to pay them anything? They stole Harry Redknapp from us! He can be the compensation. :wink:

IF we are interested in Falcao, then what's the hold up? The longer we um and ar over it, a club like Man City or Real will swoop in and he'll be gone.

Is any coincidence that our two best signings of the last 5 years were tied up very, very early in the window (before it even)? Berbatov and modric?

Do we never learn from our mistakes/triumphs?

maybe 3. Sandro was wrapped up early but allowed to stay through the Copa Lib

POTL says we're not after Downing (cheers Scutch)

Cue either

1) Whew....he's shit

2) Fuck...he's brilliant

We don't do grays

I agree with you on this one, I get this sneaking feeling that all our targets will be gone before we actually make a move. Here's to hoping I'm wrong and we see some action pretty soon.

Got a feeling we could waste too much time trying for Drogba who Chelsea will refuse to sell to us in the end.

How may young foreign players appear to be conducting their transfers around their exams? Lakaku said he wanted it all sorted before his start and another French lad today said he wont sign until his are over.

I can't see Wickham heading down to the library too often, look more like the bails of hay kind of guy. I worry out players tend to be uneducated and this costs them when educated people start advising them.

So our annual Ashley Young rumours can stop now that Utd are officially in talks.

I take my hat off to Utd. They obviously identified who they want and have acted early and with purpose.

I would like us to do the same.

But let's be honest,all they have to do is let it be known to the player that they are very interested in him and it's normally done and dusted.
Their transfers are sorted in 1 phone call.
The player 95% of the time really wants to come,will put pressure on his current club to accept a reasonable fee from United and he is gone.

I pray for the day when we can do that because that's the day when Spurs have made it to the very top.

I get that feeling too, we will probably pursue Rio,Drogba and Parker,they will continue to talk to us to keep us interested and then they will drop us like a piece of shit.

Hopefully someone at the club will have the good sense to put a time limit on these negotiations and we move on to other targets if they haven't signed on the dotted line.
They get 1 chance and 1 chance only,after that they can get stuffed.
