Harry loves a journeyman. Those'll be his top targets. Do you honestly think Little Englander Harry is gonna bring in the likes of Falcao? If we do, it'll be Levy's idea, just like VDV. We'll probably end up targeting Carlton Cole.

We fluked the VDV deal, if Harry had gotten his way we'd be stuck with Joe Cole leeching £100k a week out of the club.

Until you can offer conclusive proof that Joe Cole, in completely different circumstances to those that have been in play at Liverpool, would have flopped with us, (which I've askek you to provide), I think you should stop passing your opinion off as fact.

I think we'll buy one or two experienced players like Harry has identified. Guys who have Prem experience and know exactly how to slot seemlessly into the squad like Parker, Neville or Beckham.

I do think we'll make two biggish signings as well along the lines of those fancy foreigners whose names get touted around a lot like Lukaku, Hulk, Falcao etc.

We'll sell a handful of players who are truly surplus if we get the offers such as Keane, Bentley, Hutton and O'Hara.

That's how I see it going....FACT

Well I don't a have a differentcircumstancometer so I can't, I said he'll be a failure wherever he goes because he's lost whatever he previously had. I can't factually prove that Messi would be good here but I'm pretty sure he'd do alright.

VDV was always a target, we inquired about him before the Cole stuff, we were quoted a huge price. Madrid came back at the end of the window when Mourinho made it clear he wasn't in his plans and we got a good deal.

But anyone could predict this about Messi at this precise moment in time.
The only evidence you have about Joe Cole is based ona very short period where he was sent off in his first game, playing for a team that was struggling and a manager who is naturally cautious and errs towards organisational strength rather than flare.
you may be proven to be right about Cole, I certianly don't know that you won't be - just want you to differentiate between subjective assertion and literal, actual factual fact:up:

That's right, yeah. That's why he's still not sure where to play him.

He knows exactly where to play him, off a striker, the problem is that all three have underachieved this season, and he's tried to mix it up playing him from the right at times.

If he knows exactly where to play him, why did he play him in three different positions against Blackpool? Why can't he see beyond 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1?

VDV wasn't Levy's idea :roll:

Show me proof he wasn't Levy's idea. I'm also bearing in mind you're in a profession where you're paid to peddle lies about football transfers.

I can't show you any proof, but that's what I was told and have no reason to disbelieve it.

I think we'll do better, basically because we've gotta!!

My signings would be summat like - Adler, Marin/Hazard, Hulk/Falcao, & Leandro/Lukaku.

We'll prob get - Green, Distin, Parker, Adam, C.Cole.

I voted better - I just can't see us having as diabolical a window as the January one. Hopefully lessons will have been learnt.
The worrying thing is over the last 20 years, many of our transfer windows have been diabolical with the odd gem thrown up.
