Pretty sure the brother owner sold some land and recieved £300m cash or something like that. I think he can afford £10m to spend on a striker.

How would you feel if we could have all of the above? Great if it fits within a sound financial programme for the year. I however doubt that £8m plus substantial wages in addition to all the rest fits within a reasonable budget that sustains the club for years to come. Would depend on getting promo...

Can't understand why there are so many people complaining about adding some serious quality to our side. Really? I think it's very clear that they are balking against the price. You see, the bits where they mention £8m and then suggest that they wouldn't want it to happen at that price are the bits...

Norwich signed him for £5m last season. He had a good season for them so surely the fee will be £7m+. Can't see it myself but really hope it's true.

CountryRoyal Is that some relation to Rickie Lambert?

Yup, his non-pedantic cousin.

Isn't that Richie Lambert?

Nope, Rikki Lambert. Think you might need to up your knowledge of the Lambert family.

Hound fine, happy to be corrected on the AZ stats, and realise he was coming back from injury, which is part of why he went there

Doesnt change a huge amount though

It changes a lot, it makes your argument completely invalid.

Going to boro

No, delete this thread.

As I said earlier it is very difficult to fault Stam on what was achieved last season and I respect his judgement of nearly all of our players but in Joey, Gunter and Mutch I don't respect his judgement. Stam made the most of what he had available to him. He stood by Al Habsi even though he was tot...

I'm guessing he took the train up, took one step outside the station and said "Nope" and got the train back. Doubt he wasted his time on a train. Just because he was free to talk to Boro doesn't mean he did. Or ever intended to. He's not even back from holiday yet and there's a contract, ...

£5m for the Newcastle keeper according to Talk Reading and the Mirror. It's not according to talk reading, he's given the source as the mirror, so it's according to the mirror. It's only according to him if he doesn't put a source. I put that because the source isn't linked and I couldn't find anyt...

Snowflake Royal When did Huddersfield win the league at a canter with at least 3 of the tiers best players over the previous couple of years?

Which 3 players are you talking about? I'm assuming one is Mooy?

Kitson, Sidwell and Shorey actually.

ah right, I read your post wrong

I rate Wagner as a manager very highly, but barely any of the signings they have made have any prem experience at all. Mooy is a good player, but again no Prem experience. The strikers they have signed likewise, may be good but haven't played in that league. Tom Ince is a complete head scratch - no...

Jaakkola really isn't the answer, at least from what I've seen of him. Who knows, maybe he just needs a consistent run in a team like Ali did he first got here to iron out the mistakes. Distribution makes McCarthy look world class. Surely his distribution will be a strength of his, why would Stam h...

Seems too good/old to sign for the u23s but not up to championship level so seems a strange one. Anyway, in Stam we trust. Welcome to the club Pelle! He was with Stam for 2 years in the Ajax U21 side, so I'm sure Stam knows that he's good enough. Good enough for what though? Since he's made his deb...

I'd happily take him if he was available and would come to us. One thing that I would really like us to do this year, esp if we play 5 at the back is to have the full backs push right on, pretty much as Fulham do. Obita could certainly do it successfully. Yes this is exactly what I've been trying t...

Tommio TalkReading has a pretty reliable source I reckon

Are you the source? You seemed pretty confident hes not signing.

I'm not the source, but I know the source and he's not signing, simple as that.
