Some people seem to think that it's the mentioning of the word "twitter" that is banned from this thread, but it isn't. Just don't post anything from there!

Yeah, I agree. I'm not convinced Remy is what we need either. Granted I've barely seen him play...

but you have to admit, with the ITK that we're going to sign so many attackers with and acceleration (i.e like Remy, Oscar etc ), it's going to be so exciting for our forward line and i imagine opposition defenders popping in their pants at the idea of having to play us!

I guess it's Remy's reported injury troubles which worries me the most.

But yeah, I'm absolutely delighted we're looking at players with pace - as everyone knows "there's no substitute for pace!"

I find it interesting if true that our targets would remain the same after a new manager takes over

The Remy link is hardly recent, it was first made when Redknapp was in charge and no where near the sack so interesting that we would still be going after the same players. (maybe an insight into how our selection of player and whole transfer policy works and how the managers input is not the key factor perhaps)

I explained my rationale for posting what I did, apologies if it upset anyone, I'm pretty new to this so,

Anyway.......new signing tomorrow! ?

I think it's fairly clear that Levy and AVB have been consulting over transfers for at least a week prior to his announcement as manager.

I'd love to know the players who are reportedly on his list of "20 young players for the future" how many of them will we get for the new man in charge?!

ffs. if it comes from rafa's official twitter site, surely it's more accurate than some tenuous report from talksport. if it was football365 that reported rafa was in Germany then it would be ok?

Well I've watched him a fair bit. Yes he has great attributes, fast strong etc, just hardly...clinical...

Snap, this was the same guy that nearly joined stoke a couple of years ago right? Not saying that is a reason not to want him, just that he seems to be around for a while maybe their is a reason that nobody has taken a punt on him yet.

Right. Back to IDK.

Either your keyboard's broken or you're having a subtle dig at the ITKs. I assume you have a trip to PC World planned this afternoon and will leave it at that, for now.

Some lucky people are considered ITK, the rest of us are merely IDK (I Don´t Know)...

FFS we aint selling VDV. Vdv is modric's replacement. He is the only current player we have that is even close to modric in seeing a pass, and making it accurately, and being able to hold up the ball. He will move back as he played in RM and for the Ducth national team. VDV will be our CM!....Well that's what I would do if I were AVB anyway!

We can't rely on the HUDD after him being out for over a year and half! VDV will play there, until the HUDD gets back to form, and then we can sell VDV next summer!

Good morning. Regarding Remy. He can play on the right I thought so was under the impression he would be a replacement/rotation for Lennon, not as a striker? It is early and this coffee hasn't kicked in yet mind.

 

[ItsBoris]

Yesterday was a good day, a signing and plently of itk's. More of that please!

Hopefully we keep the ball rolling for the rest of the week (and summer). A little Thursday or Friday signing action wouldn't go unnoticed.

From descriptions of him he sounds quite versatile and can play as a wide forward or, at a push, as an out and out striker. Versatility is very useful particularly as we lack depth both out wide and upfront.

I would think that Remy and Sturridge are both in our sights for exactly that reason (although I doubt very much whether we'd sign both).

From what I've gathered it's more he's a striker capable of playing on the right wing, though that is not his primary/preferred position. Just been used there due to his pace

 

[Stoof]

I'm sure there are plenty of valid reasons why we might want to sell VdV.

But if he goes I'll be gutted.

I will most definitely blame you as well. There was one time when you said a naughty word to him and I think you made him cry. Dammit Dan, every time. First Ginola and now this.

+1 I've tried to find out more about him, watched videos etc but I don't really see the attraction. No better than what we have/have had and plenty better that we could target. For the money we may as well have kept Saha. Obviously i'd prefer neither.
