Thanks for the info CM. Are you suggesting we might end up with Llorente & Adebayor? I can't see us waiting until deadline day to sign our only striker upgrade. Not after last year.

And why do I get the impression I just missed something?

The info for Lavazzi could also related to the GFTS (Goals from the Side) comments that we had a while ago!

Funny you say that, Storts said this in the Lavezzi thread on COYS yesterday...

Goals from the side, I've told you this

And regarding whether the Mata deal is over....

Nope, still working on it.

I think that he's still going to be a starter, and if he was to go, I'm sure he would rather move to a team in the CL sadly, or Liverpool.

Alonso is pivotal. It's fine though as it will mean that we can pick up Sahin off them next summer.

GFTS is just as meaningless as "Blue and Yellow", it's far far too vague to start making guesses on and could be applied to virtually anyone.

Surely that is just the nature of Cryptic clues. If we take the goat's for example, collectively we must thought of 10 solutions to each of the clues, each making sense to varying degrees, which is very similar to the "gfts" or "blue and yellow" clues.

Seems like storts is twisting GFTS. He said it was Mata, not Lavezzi.

That's a fair comment Rob! As you know only too well, the desparation for a signing is driving us all mad the closer we get to the game on Saturday and goes into overdrive by the 31st August!

Certainly seems clear from the info i got over the weekend and the ITK since that we will all be a bit frustrated througout the window regarding a possible new striker.

But when you take a step back and realise that we are now trying to negotiate with some real top top players then it shows how far we have come as a club over the past few years. I know some of you are that desperate we could sign some random unknown from abroad and you would all be over the moon, but you have to realise because of how far we have come, we can only buy players that are better than what we have and in order to do that we have to step up a notch, deal in bigger wages, transfer fees etc and this takes a lot of time. I personally think that Adebayor could end up at Spurs in the final moments of the window, when RM close the door and Man City realise that he is too much of an expense to keep. Have faith

Hi All

Away in Spain but trying to keep abreast of everything.

So we think Diarra is done as seems conflicting info?

Any striker news?

Jesus if we field a team in the EPL that consists of Lavezzi,Mata,VDV,Modric,Lennon,Diarra,Ekotto and possibly Rossi........we are going to concede a bucket load of goals from set pieces and corners.

Is this a cunning plan by Levy to save money because they will only need Large Boys size shirts and they are a bit cheaper to buy than the Adult one.

Hi,

Nothing has happened thus far mate. We have had a bit of info suggesting Wilson may be close to moving to Stoke and that we have got a deal in place for Diarra which may be announced tomorrow. However there has been nothing too concrete, and to mix things up a bit Diarra was watching PSG rather than us the other night. Hope that helps...
