Great, two rumours that pretty much cancel one another out

 

Edit : ok 3 rumours, Im ignoring the 3rd to make my point work

[The Fish 8933]

I'm getting nervous now. We need a high quality centre half, we need a left back of genuine quality and imo we need at least three squad players to cover the defensive and midfield areas.

 

When does the window close?

[MrBass 2181]

End of August I think.

[Craig 6284]

5 weeks on Friday or 38 days time...

[GafferTape 0]

31st of August. Like every year since it's been in effect, if I remember correctly.

any 1 think it would be worth a try to put a bid in for Senderos IF we dont or cant get any more center half's.

[Barney 0]

Senderos is as error prone as Bramble/Balde/Boumsong/Huth etc.

 

London press had a jizz fest over him though a season or two ago.
