If ade goes, i think i'd rather just stick with kane and bobby then go for lambert. Use Chadli and/or Oduwa as 3rd strikers. Recall Pritchard. Burnley wont be parting with Ings. Not a chance. Essential to their survival.

Reid strikes me as another back-up player that will soak up even more wages and might get a game or so. One to loan out in the future like so many others that the Club is trying to shift. I'd have thought we'd have learned from past experience - we need quality, not quantity. Let's get a nailed on starter (like Musacchio) not another might-make it.

If we have top-four aspirations we need to compete with Arsenal, Chelsea, Utd & City. Would they be interested in Reid? I think not.
Umm yes they arse and utd have been linked to him all season. He's a very good defender

Well Pochettino was in Barca today. Was on a plane to Barcelona last night.

Could be to watch the game, or just to see his family as we've probably got a few days off.

He is apparently there to attend the funeral of a close friend - according to Spanish media.

Trix has said on COYS that lambert on loan could still be a possibility. Said in passing so not a definite by any means.

Here's the quote:

I was told we had players lined up in case we could move any of our unwanted higher profile players out. Reid it seems is one of them, and I believe Lambert is still a possibility, if we can move Ade and not convince Burnley to part with Ings.

Really? He's a very good player
Meh. To me, he's simply average and would be nothing more than a 4th CB to us as we have Verts, Fazio and Dier. £60k/wk is way too much and will make it extremely difficult to sell him in 2 years.

Trix on COYS
"I was told we had players lined up in case we could move any of our unwanted higher profile players out. Reid it seems is one of them, and I believe Lambert is still a possibility, if we can move Ade and not convince Burnley to part with Ings".

If Burnley had been persuadable, they'd have been persuaded by now. Lambert's been less effective than Ade, if marginally more so than Poor Bobby, so what would be the point? (Unless we were getting shot of Soldado, which strikes me as an eminently sensible idea.)

Reid would be a solid signing and would improve the squad. He would challenge Fazio now for a starting spot.

You dont need to spend millions on a defence. Just good, solid defenders who know their role and give the ball to the deep lying midfielders. It is all about the defensive unit. Just look at Liverpool in recent years and the cash they have spunked on fancy defenders and got nowhere.

Define simply average?

How do people know that there is a lack of activity? Is it because there is no ITK? Nobody has come forward and said we are in for whoever! I suggest that we have been spoilt for ITK over previous seasons, Like the old wartime saying Walls have Ears, Loose Talk etc. This time round we are going to have to wait and see if anybody does join. I hope there has been activity.
