I think we are all waiting for a big hitter to deliver some hard ITK on the manager situation.....I know I am.

I reckon we have a master plan:

We will all wake up one morning and several things will happen, Modric will join Madrid, Adebayor will sign, Verts will sign, new manager will come in and we get rid of a few deadwood like Saha. Sky Sports struggle to report on everything and they end up giving us our own channel, generating more income.

Then JJ will be the host of the channel, keeping us all informed 24/7!:eek:

Where do I sign up?

Dembele and keep Pienaar. I would not be happy if we sell Niko, Luka and Pienaar in the same window.

I know Pienaar is not the world class player people want to replace Modric with. I feel he could do the role well. We have always played him out of place and look how he makes Everton tick....

The last time i thought we had a master plan, we sold Berba and Keane and secured Frazier Chipmunk on loan. :confused:

Have there been any developments this morning? I can't be bothered to read through 8 pages about Luka Modric.

Oh and is JJ ok with his info being in the 'RO' section? I thought he was trying to avoid it.

I fail to see how we cannot already have a decent transfer kitty to spend, given the sales we have made recently, and the lack of real investment.
I’m not criticising the way levy has run things at all, I think he has cleared the decks whilst refusing to commit serious funds due to the uncertainty over Redknapp’s future, with first the court case, then the speculation linking him with the England job, initially once Cappello’s contract ended this summer. But looking at the last twelve months alone, we have sold -
  • Corluka?
  • Kranjcar
  • Pavlyuchenko
  • Palacios
  • Hutton
  • Crouch
  • Keane
  • O’Hara

Raising, I would guess, between £40-50m?

Our cash purchases have been limted to -
  • Parker
  • Falque

Plus a handful of free transfers and loans. Not sure if or what we paid for Couilbaily, but the combined outlay has to be comfortably less then £10m.

I understand we have to take into account the amount of wages we pay as part of our budget, but look what we have cleared off the budget too, and with the deadwood cleared we now have room to move in our 25. I would suggest there may yet be further departures too, Bassong? And Dos Santos?

Now throw in the fact Modric is being strongly linked with a move, rumours are gathering pace daily of a big money move to Madrid.

Forgetting that in Harry first two windows we spent close to £100 million with no money coming back in I can see why we have had to balance the books by not spending a lot in the last few windows.
