I dont think Lucas Neill is single handedly good enough to propel West Hams defence into a better unit than ours . Dont rate Davenport either to be honest .

Green - Sorenson

Neill - Bardsley

Spector - Bouma/Barry

Davenport - Mellberg

Ferdinand - Laursen/Cahill/ Ridgewell

You honestly think that theyre defence is better than ours ?

Who said Barca and Juve were in for Lucas Neill ? Must have been a very very slow day for stories and they had to make something up !

Id say he's about as good as a fully fit Mark Delaney .

Imagine Baros and Ronaldo upfront , the laziest forward line ever . Teams could play one at the back and still mark them out of the game

Without the claret and blue specs on i would say were on par with Everton really for a player and as a scouser he would prob choose Everton.

Thats where randys millions have to come in

Id be very dissapointed if Barton went to Everton and we didnt at least talk to him . He's a definate upgrade over Mcann and anyone who went to the Man City game earlier in the season will tell you how he ran the midfield .

Him , Barry and Petrov is the sort of midfield than could have us challenging for top 6 .

Wasnt Berbatov £10M ?

So on one hand an international player who's just finished top goalscorer in a major league and on the other a player who's played 20 top flight games and looked ok ..... I hope West Ham buy him and he's absolute shit .

Things change rapidly and if they get players like Young and we don't, they will finish above us again.

I still can't believe the price-tag though, 10M for an unproven player like Young? Damn!

Yep he's young and unproven thats why i for one dont care if they do get players like him . We need a signing to settle us all down though i think .

dear remind you we are only 5 or 6 point ahead of West Ham

Were 7 points clear with vastly superior goal diference which is worth another point .

If Young is a £10m player then Bellamy is a £12M player . Looks like the crazy transfer prices are back again in force .

Yes theyre the 2 key positions for me too . Right Midfield and Centre Forward . By the players we've been linked with O'Neill knows this too if its to be believed so i trust that come the 1st February they will have been fixed .

Hopefully not Bellamy for £10-12m though . Charlton took another beating at the weekend id test there resolve over Bent again , they need to spend some decent money .

I dont think things have gotten so bad we have to sign the biggest rocket polisher for double his actual value to stay up because Wigan and Sheff Utds squads are better than ours .

Do we really need Bellamy ? How well were we playing in the 4-3-3 formation with Angel working as the Target man with 2 wide players coming in . Get the big man upfront and pay big bucks but keep mouthy rocket polishers like Bellamy away from the dressing room where he'd have a bad influence on our younger players .

As ive said theres better deals out there than Bellamy for £12m . Theres more panic amongst the fans than the club i hope .

Its not an extra £2m for Bellamy though its double what he's worth , i cant stomach that :shock:

Is another pacy forward our real need anyway ? Id like to see a big guy up there who can hold the ball up and link up play well and have Moore and Agbonlahor bouncing off it .

No one else is panic buying so why should we ? Theres better deals out there than Bellamy .

Paying £12m for Bellamy will also show other clubs were panic buyers and mugs and anyone we want in future they can double the price Chelsea and Newcastle style .

Who would seriously take Bellamy for £12m ?

He's had a shit season and he's doubled his value , Angel's been terrible lately so whats he worth £20m ?

I think were getting down to the nitty gritty now in the window , the bids are in and the bluffing and counter bluffing is going on by the end of the week people are gonna start getting very very twitchy .

Isnt that how he got his break in football as an interpretor?

Yeah , he definately worked under Bobby Robson as an interpreter for one club

Ive never liked Alan Smith , he's a niggly bastard in the Lee Hendrie mould only with more redcards . Aslong as its not a permanent deal i dontsee any harm in a loan .

I think the only thing Baros would tempt Tottenham to do is tell us to F*$k Off . I read a couple of rumours just now though about Crouch and Keane joining villa and Barry Ferguson is still being sold to help fund the new manager and villa are favourites .

Wouldnt be surprised to see us sign Sidwell as another squad player . Smallish fee , give our younger players a break .

The rumours were true Marlon Harewood has arrived at bodymoor heath for his medical . Heres the latest photo

Why would tottenham sell us Defoe after he's scored 11 in 10 and there other nippy striker is out injured for a month ?

Theyd have to have some huge name lined up to replace him and placate the fans . TEVEZ !!!

I just got phoned by an agent i know who swears were gonna buy Owen Hargreaves , Klose , Milner and Bridge and theyre having there medicals right now subject to respective chairmen phoning us back and telling us the deals off .

Does that rumour make anyone feel more confident now ?

I wonder if Harewood did sign how many shirts would we see with his name printed on the back ? Any takers ?

Hahahah yeah £4 for Boa Morte i dont really rate him

Think we could be facing alot of competition for Lucas Neill as there arent many good right backs in the division so a bidding war perhaps. I wouldnt pay £6m for Bale that would be British premium prices again i think theres cheaper and experienced on the continent . He does seem a great prospect though and takes a mean free kick , which we could do with . Maybe £4 max with add ons or offer them Lee Hendrie and some cash

Agree about petrov , shut your mouth mate and let the manager do his job and you get on with yours .

Definately need to improve left and right backs , left and right midfielders and a striker for now .

Something like

Lucas Neill £3m

Gareth Bale £3m

Luis Boa Morte £4

James Milner £4m

Darren Bent £8m

Then in the summer look at another striker and central midfielder as priorities .
