ozil 15m? what planet is that on?

Doyle is Irish and can't get into wolves team...

whats up with pple and doyle? cant see why they think he would make it into a top team. i personally cant see it but i maybe wrong

I just wanted to say that before we all bitch and moan about Commolli and kenny's buys, keep in mind that the backbone of the Tottenham team is the result of Commolli's purchases. Modric, Bale, Assau Ekotto to name but a few were all purchased by Commolli and if we would give him a bit of time, in 3 or 4 years we will be in Tottenhams position now, challenging for the title.

We are putting together a top notch team, in 2 seasons time we will be in the top 3, without the money that Chelsea and city have spent....I understand many fans can't wait another 2 or 3 seasons and would much rather have the manager changed every 2 weeks, but fortunately for us we have owners who seem to be very capable and know what they are doing.

The fact that it has been a quiet window so far only means that the boys are doing their business properly and do not want to be taken for a ride. they are examining all options before making a move and will not be held to ransom. Simple as that. It's finally sound business sense from LFC which is something we have lacked in the past decade or so.

I know everyone is upset about the Bolton result but tbh i kind of expected it... The players are hungry for a trophy and regrettably the man city game is on their minds, they know that if they beat city their chances of winning a trophy are very good. I believe we will go out and beat city by more than one goal and i think the lads made a mistake by letting the city game affect their performance against Bolton but I think that perhaps, winning a trophy is just as important as getting 4th. I know the economic aspect is not the same but I think that the Owners see winning a trophy this season as an absolute must. I think Kenny will be in charge for at least one more season after assembling his team and get them to gel this season and I think he should be given 1 more season at least.

Sorry if this isn't completely transfer related..

Anyways, I am happy about the way we are going about our transfer business!

Really.hope so marko, but I'm hearing for a long time that were building or were 1 or 2 players short or final piece of the jigsaw...we can't keep waiting for it to happen...if our young players come good great, let them figjt their way into a quality team...

I see us buying players like Marko has mentioned about above that Comolli got for Spurs. Good players who will improve together. What we don't want though is more £20m gambles like Henderson or Downing. There are players that can be had for £7m like Cahill, Hoilett etc.

I don't see us being able to attract or even having to attract the big names when there are some fantastic honest players out there like Bellamy and Enrique who was about £7m I think.

Too many players of a certain age also look to the last big signing on fee and contract.

If we got the right 4 players in at £10m each I am sure they would be better than the collection of overpriced players we got last year. Between now and the start of next season (not end of August) we need these 4 players. One midfielder, one wide man and two strikers.

I hope you're right Mark, but this part caught my attention.

What makes you think we are putting together a top notch team? Enrique, Suarez, and Bells are the only players we've bought that are good enough. And Bells is definitely not a long term option. So that means 2 out of 9 players we've bought (including last January window) are good enough/long term solutions. Henderson and Coates could be included but I'll place them as a "wildcard" option. We've seen some good moments from them and some pretty bad ones. Ultimately we don't know how they'll turn out. The rest, however, are god awful and are our current starters. If we take out the players who aren't good enough/are aging and won't be around much longer then we look like this:

----------Reina----------
-Johnson--Skrtel--Agger--Enrique--
---?--------Gerrard----?--------
---?--------Suarez-----?---------

That's assuming Reina and Suarez don't leave this summer, and that Gerrard is healthy enough to start regularly. So when you look at it that way we are 4/5 quality starters away from being anywhere near the top 4. and that's not even including impact subs to bring on in case of injury or to try and change the game. maybe i'm being too pessimistic, but this is where we are in my opinion.

Lucas is surely missing from that team.

yeah but he's out for the rest of the season. i'm just saying that currently, this is the best we got. even if we had lucas, we still need at least 3 spots filled.

If it's just the rest of this season, why not include Bellamy?
