Sunderland transfer policy reminds me of ours a few years ago when we signed every average player around!

I am calm, just frustrated as I can see it happening again.

There was over a month to go last season at this point too, but tell me this, what would have happened to us had Real not rang us with VDV?

I dunno. Seeing as they did it probably isn't worth worrying too much about it.

I genuinely believe that Levy and Harry won't let us go another window without signing a striker. If they do I'll have lost alot of faith (potentially irreperably so) in both of them. But until that happens I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. We're clearly looking at alot of options so there's no need to be a pessimist until at least a few more of those doors have been firmly closed (so far barely any have).

I suppose you are right.

I do fight till the last (you have to as a Spurs fan) and won't give up on Rossi, Falcao or Vucinic. I can see it happening, but I don't think we have the balls.

When Brownhead mentioned Srna, he did start the post with a big NOT ITK, I think he was just stating that he too could fit in with the blue and yellow thing, as could bananaman

i'll be claerer. the reason barc and madrid won't make room for him despite his ability on the ball is because he's next to awful off it. in the pl mata will not play or do a job left or right midfeild. it's no.10 role or nothing especially for SPurs. VDV is better and already on the books. we don;t need and i expect we don't want so it's good we're not wasting time going in for him.

and vdv is great off ball and lennon is great off ball.. give me a break... and u keep talking about two of best clubs in world all time in barca and madrid. am... we are not barca and madrid... our creative players are vdv modric maybe thudd at a push and bale and lennon at a push. is that enough going into a potential 60 game season which is so incredibly vital in getting top 4 otherwise an exodus just like arsenal down road. again a top young player who scores goals, has plenty of pace and skill and adds creativity to us should he join. on top of that i just named regulars who will play more games than not , what have we off bench to change even to change things as it is?? not bloody much..we are far from a barca and madrid. mata is gettable. he is like a modric two or 3 years agao when we sighned him from croatia. we cant get to level players like a ' barca' or 'madrid' . this is a player below it.

I thought Brownhead was just guessing that for latest Blue & Yellow cryptic might have been about Srna.

Found this and will put it in the twitter thread:

Also, heard Vucinic to Tottenham agreed between us and Roma, personal terms being sorted now. Great player IMO.

@MattBarker19 Just a few sources who have normally been really reliable. He's handed in a request, and Levy is in Italy. Would be nice

Srry if this has been mentioned before

Might be farfetched but blue and yellow:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._of_Ukraine.svg/225px-Flag_of_Ukraine.svg.png

Flag of Ukraine = Ukrainian Premier League = Srna or Douglas Costa?

...Maybe i'm just tired..

Woohoo! We are NOT signing Carlton Cole. He has joined Stoke for £6m.

Now. For those who had a go at me saying we couldn't get £15m for Defoe? £6m for Cole?!?!?
