Works both ways mate. Put Lovren in the Chelski back 4 and he'd look very good. Put JT in the Liverpool back 4 and he'd look awful.Alderwield (spl) is complicated because we'll have to effectively bid 3m higher than Saints to get him. That's because Atleti have to pay Saints 3m to remove an automatic pay out clause inserted into his loan. (according to goal.com anyway).
I would be wary of signing defenders from Saints. They do well because in Schneiderlin and Wanyama, they have one of the best midfield screens in the PL. Lovren looks a fish out of water at LFC.

Which is gonna happen....this been posted, from this morning?
trix: Not saying there is no interest at all in him [sven bender], but Kramer is the one we'd prefer from Germany.
As regards CM options following a brief chat this morning my friend is led to believe Imbula is the most advanced as things stand, but and it's a big but, we would be pushing all in for the other preferred choices before we fold on them and accept a lower down the list option.
50p?The (ahemm) tooth fairy has just left a small donation under the SC pillow. Wish it were more!

Exactly what I was hoping we wouldn't do anymore. Opposite of for instance Trix's view, I think we should go all in for the best choice of those who we *know* want to come. Rather than spend so much time failing on plan A that plan B players all become unavailable in the meantime, when they in fact could have wanted to sign. I'd rather Spurs succeeded with plan B right away than failing with plan A, B, C before landing D.this been posted, from this morning?

It worries me that we'll lose out on Schneiderlin, and have wasted too much time to get our other preferred targets.this been posted, from this morning?

If you have read this forum that long, you would have at least a vague idea over how many plan As have fallen through, and how many plan Bs have not happened because we spend too much time failing with plan A. When did we last secure a typical plan A sining? NOT counting those who simply happened by sheer dumb luck. When did we last sign a typical plan d-z signing? Hmm...Go for plan B first?!! Never heard of anything so stupid before....and I've been reading this forum for a while!
No. Always ALWAYS go for plan A. Just make sure plan A has the right research and planning. But that IS why they are plan fucking A!
