Dann would be sensible addition- we know that Bramble makes silly mistakes and whatever combination is used at CB it will not be very mobile. But all summer MON has been associated with big target men (Holt, Fletcher, Toivenon) who can play with back to goal and hold up play. This is not Defoe's strength, he is much more like Bent. What formation are we looking to play? {Ed057's Note - i think 4-3-3 especially as we are looking at players like mcgeady and we were at hoilet}

I think we'll set up more like 4-5-1 with Sess floating between the midfield & forward. {Ed057's Note - Maybe against harder teams but mon likes the quick counter attacks like at villa Ashley young, downing and abonghalhor}

Thats ok at villa but we have larsson cattermole gardner wickham ji etc none of whom have any pace to speak of what so ever

Ji has lots of pace, we need to give him a go

I have read somewhere today that Mon has identified both Fletcher and Defoe, he is after two top quality signings for upfront? I can't see Defoe coming though I think he is a London boy.

Played for pompey though.

Because harry rednapp took him there as harry had him at west ham aswell.....not coming to safc

Sky sports reckon we're on the verge of making bids for Defoe, Mcgeady and Scott Danny. Why were we ever getting worried?

Defoe will never come up here so why do we always linked to him .

Defo will not come here

Pretty sure sky only mentioned Scott dann, I certainly hope you're right though

Because he wont buy any of them,we are going to buy crap cos mon only likes british players with no technical ability,now we want scott dann!we need strikers now,we have more defenders on the books than the midfield and forwards put together.west ham have just bought diarra yes diarra for next to nowt,even newly promoted sides r buying better than us,im dreading this season....

Any one will go any were for the right money

Tottenahm have only only 2 senior striker so can not see them leaving. And if Defoe did leave he would go not QPR.

Be great if MON could get Defoe would definatley show there intent for quality signings positive thinking everyone.

To the absolute person that said MoN only likes Brittish players and that he won't sign Defoe, McGeady and Dann... Defoe is Enlish, McGeady is Scottish and Dann is also English. Last time I checked they were all brits... also, Diarra isn't Lassana Diarra... it's Alou Diarra.

You're wrong though because McGeady is from the Republic of Ireland, which last time I checked wasn't part of Britain. Just saying.

Skysports mentioned it on the transfer Watchclock.

Mcgeady was born in Scotland but plays for the Republic of Ireland.

Jeez.

Mcgeady is a scot fact, just another plastic Irish payer like Aldridge and co from the 90's

Mcgeady average anyway. hasnt done anything in russia or for ireland. looked decent in celtic team but so did murphy and stokes. yikes. need a reality check folks. no good mentioning good players like llorente and defoe etc when we will only offer around 50k a week. wont attract anybody with those wages

YOUR RIGHT anyone can go any where for right money.....problem is safc have a wage cap which is probably half his wages at spurs...

Hull to make a 2m bid for Elmohamady

Mignolet been called up by country - several

Two players to have medicals at the weekend apparently romenu lukaku and Aiden mccgeady (good source)

Lukaku another rookie untried striker?WHY? mcgeady wouldnt touch with barge pole for that price.done nowt in russia or for ireland. looked good at celtic but then again so did murphy and stokes.

mcgeady fletcher and lukaku chelsea loan are the players coming sounds good to me

Only want loan players if we have the buy option at the end of the loan

We have 3 inexperienced strikers at the club so why loan in another?lukaku looked good in belgium but hes hardley kicked a ball since he went to chelsea. need somebody with experience
