Let us not forget that Sandro is injured and will miss at least a couple of months at the start of the season and we will have other injuries so to have a bunch of midfielders of this calibre is excellant.

I don't want to sound hopelessly negative, but what makes you think that Luka will be pushed forward? Into what position? And why has 'Arry not done this before, if he thinks it's a good idea? Are we going to drop Lennon, or VDV, or Bale or who?

It will be Lennon if anybody but yes, that this is the question, will Harry change our shape?
I like the idea of 4-2-3-1 and Harry has mentioned it but has said that we lacked a player who could play up front on their own, so maybe he will do it. We sort of seemed to be playing that yesterday with Pienaar off of the front man and Hudd and Jenas sitting in behind,. Obviously, none of those players is capable of playing that shape effectively and it should also be noted that the striker was Pav which means zero mobility or hold up play.
I'd certainly like to see Diarra and Sandro with Mods ahead of them and VDV and Bale on either side, it would have everything, goals, pace, power, creativity and guile as well as defensive solidity.

Everyone seems to have forgotten Hudd - who by all accounts made the team tick before his injury.
Look its a squad game now and if increasing the number of quality players in that squad actually prompts Redknapp to rotate a little more then all of our players will have a part to play, including Lennon, Krancjar and even jenas!!

Neither Modric or VDV are blessed with pace, so the striker would need to be quicksilver to compensate. And tall, because Modric, VDV and Diarra are right shortarses. Personally, I think the only reason 'Arry would want to buy Barton and Diarra is to stockpile the kind of players he likes, just as he has done for the last decade or so. People just don't change their natures.
This is such a small detail...

Ok, I'm going say it now, so that it's etched into the annuls of history.....
Joey Barton will cause friction in the squad, and will most likely leave us in acrimonious circumstances.
Why? Because that's what joey Barton does. Alway has, always will.
Average footballer, piss poor attitude. No thanks.

Not a great deal really, Diarra almost complete apparently, conflicting itk on llorente, Brian Ruiz himself has said we are after him, Chelsea coming in with a new 30 mil bid for Modric, thats about it. You heard anything?

This years transfers seem the same as last year looking/ buying players we dont need, we want strikers Harry, if you must go for m/f , buy a youngster like Casimiro.
Back to work Mr Rebrab and give us some news, you aren't allowed to go away for 3 days and have fun :snooty: :wink:

Agree fully, I hope he gets into a fight so end up in prison so we can't sign him.
