Well has everyone seen the Richards to sign odds. 5/4 not looking bad. . ahead of Everton who are 4/1. This would be a great deal for us.

well as its getting close to the season and close to the end of the window we now need to be pro-active and get our team sorted. we all, as supporters, can see where we need to improve so here is my views. I've read this morning the list of players spurs are wanting rid of and we should nip in straight away. Dawson, Townsend and Lennon are available and would improve us greatly. Then nip across to Manchester and steal Richards. that would give us the following team.

Mannone in goal, deserves to start as number 1
back four of Richards-dawson-Brown-VanAnhalt
in front of them i'd play 2 of Cattermole and Rodwell.
In front of them i'd play a three of Johnson-Townsend-Lennon with Fletcher or Wickham up front.

Stong at the back power and pace in midfield and goal threats throughout.

easy this manager lark lol. only an opinion of course

I do like that idea of a team, but definitely give them a while to gel and that's if we even make anymore signings. Keep the faith though, HTL.

Townsend was hyped up after a handful of good games and one or two Spurs fans I work with say Lennon does all the fancy footwork but his final ball let's him down badly.

Micah Richards into 5/4 with making us favourites to sign him. Hope this is a good bet.

the Sunderland Red Bulls has a sort of ring to it

Heard a rumour about Moberg-Karlsson being tracked by a Danish club and then there are the on-going rumours about N'Diaye but has anyone heard anything more about any of the guys we are trying to offload; Cabral, Diakite, Roberge, Graham etc?

If we are to bring in the players we all crave we need to shift these off the books but no deals look anywhere near close.

id keep Roberge not a lot wrong with him and we need a back up squad!

Roberge will stay on the basis he is better than Diakite.

Graham will go to Boro more than likely for £2m

As for Cabral and Diakite I think you would have to pay someone to take them away at this point
