Spurs should be £6.5 million.

We've kept the ball well at times but there isn't any creative or ball players in the team.

Hard ball as in not rolling over and accepting our low opening bid?

I thought Perch played well in nearly all of the games at centre back and in midfield, he just gets exposed at fullback. His other problem is he's one of our players like Williamson, Ryan Taylor and Simpson that if the team play poorly then these guys will he hit hard by fans on the individual markings, where as it doesn't matter how bad the likes of Coloccini, Tiote, Cabaye, HBA or Ba play you won't often see them get lower than a 7.

I know we are tough negotiators and have got some great deals with this stance but OMG PAY WHAtEVER THEY WANT I'M FUCKIN' SHITTING MYSeLF HERE!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if we were waiting to see if he stayed or not before upping bids for the likes of Debuchy, with the thinking that if he did go we would have to replace him with not a lot of money, since he was supposed to he due half of any transfer fee.

Miles Starforth @milesstarforth 2m Australian defender Curtis Good has signed a SIX-year deal at #nufc after joining from Melbourne Heart.

We've got some good young lads on the books and with the UEFA cup this year they should get plenty of game time. Realistically I think we've done well if can remain around the top 8 and 2 of them can establish themselves as first team regulars over the next few years.

As bored with this buy out clause talk as I am with the Debuchy transfer.

It was mentioned at the time of him leaving, you would think it would he on any profit they make on him rather than any sale unless they are completely fucking stupid.

Like I said a few weeks back its like the Owen transfer all over again with West Ham playing our part with a huge bid aimed at blowing us away. Liverpool have revealed their hand by accepting now all Carroll has to do is hold his nerve and he's likely to get his move back here.

Could be.

I was reading about Anita on N-O about a week ago and some Dutch guy on there said he's better than Nigel De Jong was at his age, he's more of a ball playing holding man which is something that let's Tiote down at times.

Let's see what he looks like on a cold Monday night at the Britannia first.

Some of our young lads look like making the step up to good squad members. Gosling, Sammy, Bigi and Tav have all impressed so far.

Thanks. Now all we have to do is work out how that's possible (delorean?) and we will have it sorted.

Marveaux looks excellent, he's got the football brain to play fast one touch football which is good to see. Will link up well with HBA and Cabaye in midfield.

What we should do is sign players that never get injured IMO.

Daft not buying a centre back, an injury puts too much pressure on Good to hit the ground running presuming he passes his medical. Saying that the local papers have said a few weeks back that we were not going to sign one and then they were talking up the Douglas transfer again shortly after, now they seem to be going with us not signing one again. Sky sports were linking us with Ashley Williams from Swansea yesterday.

Carroll would consider leaving Liverpool but only on loan and to an English club playing in Europe according to sky sports news

George Caulkin @CaulkinTheTimes 36m Transfer update-ish: #NUFC won't get involved in auction after #Whu bid for Carroll. Their bid remains on table but won't be improved

I'm guessing we've got a budget and we're hoping to bring in our 3 preferred targets at that price rather than pay extra for 2 of them and have to scrap the 3rd signing. Boring summer though, I pity the guys that f5 transfer threads all day.

In one of the links I posted in the Ba thread it said they wanted to wait and move for him later in the window after speaking with his advisors so there could he some truth in it. It's his decision if he stays or goes but I don't think Pardew is 100% convinced either way.

The Sun say Sunderland are signing James Collins and Stephen Warnock from Villa

Hard to say if Elliot is good enough as back up since he's only played one competitive game for the club.
