better not be benny.

Could be you know, he's been linked with PSG in the past and this very window Cissokho was mentioned as a possible signing for us. I couldn't see us retaining both in our squad and we've got Vertonghen/Fryers/Rose as back-up, hope I'm wrong though - Benny's not always the best defensively but he's not bad and pretty good technically.

That's all I'm trying to transpire. There is obvious ambition. Don't all be doom merchants. I know I can't check news with Harry like I have done the last 4 years but I trust JJ and I trust his enthusiasm.

He has told me who we are looking at and all the sensible amongst you will appreciate I can't steal thunder and blurt out names but I can tell you that there is no doubt in anyone's mind, these players are world class.

And to sign them all would cost upwards of £90m in transfer fees alone.

We would need to be brave.

Let's just wait and see.

NINETY?
90?
NINE - TY?

Wow. Do we need to shift anybody to raise that cash?

I would say that's doing him a slight disservice, he has his moments yeah - but for me he's fast becoming one of the best LBs in the League, when he's missing we suffer.

Think there might be a certain Croatian who'll help.

Pringle · Aug 5, 2012

No chance will we fork out that kind of money - even after taking money from the croatians, it simply wont happen unless we have an investor come in which the ITKs seem to have ruled out.

Blake Griffin · Aug 5, 2012

we could probably raise 2/3 of that from sales. will never happen though.

Why has Blake been given a "bad spelling" rating above? What has he spelt wrong?

liam17oi · Aug 5, 2012

It's from one of those knobs with no posts. Nothing to see here. I evened it up

Only thing I can see is a lack of letter capitalisation, but that's grammar not spelling.

Playing with fire there...

Right - I'm in Egypt and struggle to get Internet access - have seen so much lurching from delight to despair over the past week or so: we are signing everyone or no one and spending all the money in the world or nothing. The way I see it is that there is no ITK coming out of WHL at the moment due to "LockDown" and this is because we have lost out on targets in the past due to rumours spreading. JJ has said that there are very big names coming and to relax. I just hope these names come soon and we get a clear vision of AVB's plan for the future.
In the meantime, chill!

I don't know... but I encourage everyone to 'agree/like' it to counteract the treachery!

For the millionth time, mystery bad ratings are likely to come from people scrolling on Ipads and the like.
Can people stop fucking complaining about them and get over it?
If it still bothers you write something funny (ie Why did the chicken cross the road? Something, something, Modric) or something that people will agree with or like (ie We are title certainties and will sign Leandro from atop his Olympic medal rostrum) and you can get all the green in the world.

FFS!

Funny how that the bad ratings always come from people that never post

thfc1989 · Aug 5, 2012

I wish people would stop going on about the bloody ratings (I appreciate that this post is also going on about the ratings).

That may well be true. But Bromavinci has given 6 dumb ratings just on this page (29). Maybe he should put his iPad or iPhone back in the box and send it back ......!

I do apologise to all the sensitive souls in here but I have decided to start rating posts dumb when the poster is complaining about being rated dumb, because complaining about dumb ratings is, well, dumb

I gave you a 'disagree' rating as it was the only one that you needed for a full set.

Lennon might be the most underrated player in our squad.

It was clear last season how good he worked. We clearly missed him when he was out, why does everyone seem to want to replace him?

totally agree and not just last year the effort maybe 3 seasons was amazing.

I can only assume Levy has been drug smuggling to fund this, I was always suspicious of those 5inch Cuban heels!!
