We'd have never got Vidal. I know for a fact he always wanted Juventus, even when there were talks of Bayern.

Steklenberg would have been a good signing for us I believe.

N'Zogbia is a good player, however, I'd rather take a punt on Marin or Shaqiri

Is Stekelenberg better than Gomes was in Holland then? I thought Gomes was a top keeper in Holland who struggled with the step up to the Premier League. He's still a quality keeper though.

This window is really getting frustrating. I've been patient until now but my patience is really wearing thin. I'm not too fussed about Diarra. He's a decent player but a bit overrated imo. I'm perfectly happy with our current choice of central midfielders.

The Vucinic deal sounds like a no goer at this point which is a real shame. I really hope we sell one of our strikers and thrash out a deal for a new striker soon. The closer it gets to deadline day the fewer option we'll have. Not many teams will sell their star striker close to the end of the window.

I think that Spurs have spoken to Vucinic and know that he wants to come here and no where else........we made an offer and they want to squeeze a few pounds out of us by pretending that other clubs are interested.

This is worrying me, with every passing day now.

I just expected movement by now, or at least deals (out-goings) to be near completing.

Apparently we have had a 15 million Euro bid rejected for Vucinic...so we could miss out because we aint willing to go another 5-10%! Come on Levy...seriously like.

I was at the MK dons game tonight and I would say the 2 worst playsers on the pitch were Defoe and Bentley. Defoe was tackled almost evertime and waving his arms at the ref and Bentley is just terrible, we would be lucky to get 5 million for him. Krancjar scored a great goal tonight, top draw and Townsend and Rose looked bright.

Kane did more in 10 mins than Defoe did in 80!

This. I was also at the game, and agree with everything you have said :clap:

Becoming quite concerned about Vucinic now. What happened to the "Vucinic developments overnight" from POTL?

I'm starting to get extremely worried we're practically two weeks away from the start of the season and the clock is ticking. Would've been so nice to get the players we need in for pre-season. Baaahhhh I'm gonna say it, even though it pains me to say it:

Anyone else thinking if we had Commoli still at the club, we would've done some business in the window by now? It just seems like since he's gone we've become very poor at the negotiating table. I dare say we might've ended up with Henderson or something, but I'm sure he would've brought in two strikers by now. He brought in Modric in May of that year(?).
