Football

In other news, just came back from the pub after watching the first Spurs pre-season friendly. Really entertaining game, finished 3-3 against Seattle Sounders. Some encouraging performances (Holtby, Soldado, Ceballos, Lamela) but also some worries, ie. our defence or lack of same.

The academy turns a profit, can't ask for more than that right now as we want to stay competitive in the PL. I honestly think that there will be 3 homegrown players in the squad this year (Ake, van Aanholt, Atsu, Piazon, Chalobah are all not far of from becoming regular squad members). Time will tell I guess.

£16m net spend so far I think, we're trading well within our means whilst also culling some big earners from the wage bill.

Its the height of fucking cynical: Hoover up all the young decent players, hawk em out, cherry pick, then buy £40m ready made player in thier place. Difficult to feel sorry for those spat out the other end with nowt to show. Clubs in your position simply don't do youngsters/experimentation/development.

Salary of £185k a week is being reported.

O_o
no wonder sammi k. wants out/more

Apparently Dema Ba has gone for £4.4m, surprised that there wasn't more interest domestically.

All time favourite Demba Ba goal:

you must buzzin that he got you to finish above us...hang on.
Can we see his greatest misses from 13/14?

He was always in lap dancing bars - I'm sure he had plenty of greatest misses.

Love the new BT Sport advert..

Brendan Rogers has identified a couple of new targets.

All dae long

Ben Davies having his medical. So relieved we've (nearly) signed a new LB, I don't think I can bear watching Rose play much longer.

Remy done.
Lovren to be finished tomorrow.

Whereas you STILL have a shit defence and have lost your talismanic striker. I look forward to watching your squad getting stretched beyond belief this season.

I wouldn't be getting overly moist, pal. I can see you didn't watch us much last year. Exactly which big games did you see LS drag the team by the boot straps single handedly? Which of the big games did you see him score in? Under kenny I'd be inclined to agree but he played a role in a squad with br.. You almost talk like he always made the right decision on the ball.
6 thus far with more to come. If you wanna see gape, porn hub is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Remy a great singing for that money, can play all along the line and will def get 10 to 12goals so as long as keeps fit and out of the strip bars of sunny Liverpool!!

Remy done.
Lovren to be finished tomorrow.

Not to piss on your chips, but seeing as you just had an offer of £20m turned down for Lovren maybe you should be looking elsewhere. Remy is very good value though.

....£16M that could rise to £20M...

Seems a good mix of Agar's ball playing with Skirtl's battling. They aren't my chips

Don't get me wrong. he's a good player, big part of Soton's defensive record last season. Still expensive though. Guess you've got the money.

I don't get what Lovren adds to the Liverpool defence - they need an organiser in the back line from what I can see. He's a good player but I'd have sooner gone for Medel/Vlaar/Garay etc

Ben Davies having his medical. So relieved we've (nearly) signed a new LB, I don't think I can bear watching Rose play much longer.

Good deal for you. Swansea have Neil Taylor as replacement so nobody really loses. Danny Rose might be speaking with his agent though.

Liverpool might as well have swapped Suarez with Southampton...

Replacement for Agger, innit. Would still have gone for any of the above mentioned or someone like Hummels.

Hummels go to Liverpool?

Fucking hell more chance of you lot finishing in the top four !!

For that money, I meant. Koeman wants £25m for him, you fork out another £5m and you could be signing Hummels.

What are your ITK's telling you about Schneiderlin? Still looks like he's coming our way ;)

....£16M that could rise to £20M...

They're probably Corny's.

Whatever you do, don't touch them.

Just signed up for the England Away Supporters club thing. I'm a fucking moron.
