Talking about bolstering, anyone still to donate? People have been very generous today but we still haven't covered the ex's for the month, let alone getting anywhere near building up some reserves for the lean winter months.

£25 put into the coffers

As soon as someone says 'chill' I stop reading. Because they are invariably wrong and whatever they are telling you to 'chill' about is usually pressing, necessary and likely to cause disaster if not addressed.

Chill.....

Good, now that the complete twat Thinktank has stopped reading and I can tell the rest of you guys what I really think of the guy. Well in my onion he's.....

Not for me, none of those three had a good season last year, at this stage there's more questions than answers. Kabouls struggling to get anywhere close to his pre injury form after so long out, Chiriches granted a new player to the PL who will need time, but so far looking a long way of a PL CB and Verts, we know he can be an excellent CB when he's fully focussed and can be arsed but he is poor when he's not. He is not the quality of CB he thinks he is and needs to be far more focused and far sharper consistently.
If he's up for it he's a good player, right now he's making the right noises, but what happens if we start to struggle a bit?
It wouldn't be so bad if we had strong full back options, Davies is a good signing and should help, but none of Rose, Benny, Walker or Naughton are anywhere close to strong defensively and Fryers it's difficult to know exactly what he offers
Of course Eunice could recapture his form, Vlad could miraculously step up and Verts could finally discover he can be arsed on a regular basis but that's far too many coulds for comfort
Absolutely correct.

Lets not lambaste Rose, He's a spurs lad, went out on loan and did well but it didn't work out for him when he came back. Lets Remember his goal against the scum and wish him well.

He's a first class tit, a pussy, and a sad excuse for a spurs player.

I can forgive him bad performances, but not the arrogance to think that he should be uncontested in his position. He has a terrible attitude and he deserves to fail.

Sorry, this is not entirely accurate. If want specific signings from foreign leagues, we must sell present players who came from abroad. No club can have any more than 17 players who are registered (ie. above 21) and who are not home grown. That's the rule. ATM, unless I've counted wrong, we have those 17 players after the signing of Vorm. I expect ITK in the coming days to heed this, and so should we.

Looking at the foreign players likely to form part of the first team squad

Hugo, Brad, Eunice, Vlad, Verts, Paulie, Holtby, Capoue, Sandro, Dembele, Eriksen, Chadli, Ade, Bobby, Lamela, Benny

and Benny looks an unlikely squad player, one of the mids would presumably leave if we get say Schneiderlin and presumably now we have Vorm we don't need to register Brad if it mattered

Unless I've missed someone which is of course possible it looks to me like we have 15 players that might be registered as overseas, so two more could be added without any probs and more if a couple of the above move on (save Benny who I'm not counting)

edit, damn what a donut I forgot Vorm, ah well.............:whistle:

That made me laugh for some reason. But yeah, though some are saying he may not be throwing a wobbly as such, we've all seen the sulky side of him so I think it's a fair extrapolation when we project a mardy face on him in response to BD coming on board and then getting itk that he's not happy and wants out.

Yeah, it's obviously based on hearsay to a certain extent. We're hearing a lot of corroborating evidence from different sources though, and his attitude on the pitch is there for all to see. Not to mention the comments he's made publicly in the past himself...

Yes, you have missed someone. As I wrote, "after signing Vorm". That's 17. And yes, there are loads of "We could do this and we could do that" but there is no ITK at the moment indicating that anything of all those maybes are actually happening. We can assume all we want, but that doesn't prove me wrong in stating, if we want to sign foreign players to be included in our registered squad, we must sell somebody foreign (not only make assumptions).
Case closed.

Add in falque if he hangs around, and I think ceballos is 22 isn't he so he would also need to be registered. A thing to note is schneiderlin counts as hg.

If DRose really is pissed off at the purchase of Davies, then he really should just fuck off. He could easily make the signing of Davies irrelevent if he knuckled down to cut out the stupid errors, red mist moments and stop being so lazy tracking back. Idiot.

Since this site is what gets me through those absolute horrid days at work (yesterday and today in particular) I have donated the sum of £50. Plenty of ITK the past few days, with two signings, a win and Lamela looking like a new man. Felt generous for fellow yids.

Last post on this as we're getting off of ITK, we currently have 17 but Ekotto will likely be sold, or not registered and we've had ITK that Sandro is being sold

Not really, because if we don't sell we can loan out players-just like we did with Benny and Holtby last season and what Chavs are doing with about 100 players it seems
