Why do Southampton keep trying to sign
attacking players? i think we have more
than enough in the squad to play 4 3 3
we went to city and scored two goals but
we do need to strengthen at the back so
should we not concentrate on a centre back
and a left back [not just after Fox's mistake
think we needed one before it happened]

Have said all along that fox was a liability in defence , one footed , always loses the players on his wing cost us points in several games last year and a point against city

I'm not saying on whether the Ramirez deal is on or off, but you have got to remember this is the agent that said the deal had been completed in the first place (when it hadn't), it's obvious that he likes to play games.
Bologna are desperate for money, and claiming that Southampton have lost interest, and that Ramirez is not interested in moving to any other premier league club, would make them panic, and accept saints bid (in theory)
So we'll see, it seems strange to go so far into negotiations just to pull out at this stage.
On the other hand Cortese always wants to be stubborn in negotiation, and always in is control, and wouldn't be afraid to pull the plug on a deal.
Lets not jump to conclusions...

Seems like a lot of foreign clubs and agents like to let news of any potential moves leek out hoping that other clubs may firm up interest whilst creating a bidding war between team

Adebayor was not allowed to take the vacant number 9 shirt at Spurs and instead had to settle for number 25 because the number 9 shirt has been promised to Leandro Damiao who is signing early next week - 100% True

Right...so people are talking about Jordan Rhodes...'value', what is his 'VALUE' they say. How much is he 'worth' they say? Luckily for football, some people are still around to keep the 'sport' alive. He is one of them. This is not your normal 'business transfer story'. This is someone playing sport, the proper way. 'Oh but he hasn't 'proved himself at this level'...he's a footballer...who plays for Huddersfield Town. As far as I'm aware he hasn't been transfer listed, I don't think he's for sale? If people continue this 'disturbing a player' transfer system that bubble everyone talks about bursting simply will.

Conceded 2 poor goals last night away to charlton! Apart from that very good performance just lacked composure in front of goal but dominated the game from start to finish! Very encouraging performance, if we play like that all season (without conceding sloppy goals) then will def be in the mix for playoffs!

We were poor in the first half ,second half showed some improvement missed enough chances to have won the game ,should have had futacs an the bench to replace beckford ...jim lcfc

I wouldn't say we were were 'poor' in the 1st half we were wtill the better team by miles it was just the defending for the goals & the finishing that let us down! Futacs didnt even make the bench! Tough game sat against blackpool but fancy us at home! Beckford & Lloyd Dyer-bolicle to be dropped for Nugent & Knockaert please! He looks a real quality player from what i saw at charlton

Free scoring 21 yr old striker Mark Ford of Weymouth is a wanted man by Mark Mcghee of Bristol Rovers. However the need to bring in a new centre back on a emergency loan basis may tip the club over the wage limit imposed on league 2 clubs. Goals are a major concern at present with all forwards and midfielders only managing 1 between them in the opening three games.

I continually hear that west ham have
no width in their team and watching
them against Villa this was seen to be true. However, they appear to be going from
one extreme to the other.
They had apparently targetted Drenthe
and Boukari after failing with Jarvis
bid but have now bid again for Jarvis.
They are close to sealing Boukari Deal
and Drenthe also and Jarvis for a
ridiculous £10m.
They currently have a squad of 17 of which they have 2 goalies and Picqionne who is leaving so in reality leaving them with 14 outfield players.
What on earth is going on

Like all teams west ham have a number of targets to fill certain positions ,

I think all Bristol City fans should be very excited by the arrival this week of Steve Davis and Sam Baldock. A quility pair of strikers. According to the local paper talks are still ongoing with DJ Campbell? I would rather we spend our money on a quality center half and a creative midfielder. Its no good realying on our forward line to outscore the oposition's every game I would bet money on Bret Pitman leaving before the end of the transfer window now. Can't understand why we didn't make these signings and potentual others before the pre-season games? We could have maybe got something from our previous two games!

As a lifelong West Ham fan it worries me
when Swansea sites say the following:
"So who is Swansea SUPPOSED to be
more afraid of: Carlton Cole or
Ricardo Vaz Te?
Looking like a layup for the Swans!
First away game of the season and we
may be in for baptism of fire with
little threat up front.
Where is the attacking wingers and
midfielder we needed and the fresh goal
getter that can lead the line on his own

west ham have made a final MAD offer
to Wolves for Matt Jarvis of £10m.
Its MADNESS to pay £10m for a Winger
who isn;t that good anyway and
certainly not worth £10m.
Razak Boukari passed medical with West Ham
but now being targetted by Wolves to
replace him??
What on earth is going on???

With 3 MK Dons players being dismissed in the last 3 games, manager Karl Robinson could enquire a loan for a Premier League standard midfielder, similar to Smith last season, until January when he can sign a midfielder then, as well as a reliable centre-back, due to Dons' poor disciplinary record.

How about this for stupid business by
West Ham.
They put Razak Boukari through week
long trial whilst they mess about with
Matt Jarvis.
Wolves Websites now show (Get this)
that they are due to sign Boukari for
£2.5m as a replacement for Jarvis who is on
his way to West Ham for £10m??
Is this for real? What are the board at West ham sniffing?
