    True, but also the fact that he didn't show up for the start of their preseason. Don't know if he's still on a strike though but it definately helps our chances, even though I hate when footballers do that.

    It seems likely that Willian will be sold in this transfer window given Shakhtar already bought Taison earlier this month. He sounds desperate to come to England and the Chelsea link has coolen off, besides we know AVB is very keen on him. Please make it happen Levy.

    Re: Gylfi Sigurdsson What are you basing this on? To me his playing style looks much more like a box-to-box midfielder in the Lampard mould rather than a number 10.

    Re: Gylfi Sigurdsson There's no denying that Sigurdsson is a skilled player with good technique and a decent shot. However his biggest weakness is his size and lack of "quick feet" which makes it difficult for him operate in tight areas as is the case when our opponents sit back. I just don't...

    Official - Holtby

    Re: *Official* Holtby to join in July thread I think you have to take into account that Schalke are in tough battle to get one of the champions league spots and Holtby might be seen as a key player in that battle. Therefore I can fully understand why Schalke are reluctant to let him leave on a...

    How much will we spend it January?

    This. It makes no sense that all the big leagues are started when the summer transfer window closes. June and july offers plenty of time to conclude business. Two weeks in january should also be enough as you say.

    That is exactly my opinion of him as well, although I don't watch la liga regularly. If I were to compare him with another player it would be Morientes, lethal in the box but doesn't participate much in build up play. Think he's the best striker we can hope for this window, but I'd almost prefer...

    I believe creativity is what the team desperately needs to take the next step. We have created the highest amount of attempts but the lowest amount of clear cut chances among the top teams. IMO that is caused by a lack of creativity in the final third. I agree that we need an upgrade on Defoe...

    Agree, if money really is that tight it makes no sense to buy a squad player for a position we are well stacked in, as a creative midfielder and a striker are much more required at the moment. However IF we can get these things sorted I think a 25 year old Diamé is an absolute bargain at 3,5M.

    I get the comprison, I just think he's more technically skilled and at just 3.5M I can fully understand our interest. Jake seems to be going out on loan, but we still got Parker, Dembele, Huddlestone, Carrol for the two CM spots. He would be a bargain, but I really think the priority should be...

    Only 3 goals from 10 starts in the league however. I've watched a lot of Swansea this season and I have to say I've not been impressed, would much rather prefer Jones if i had to make the choice between the two.

    Danny Graham

    I guess he's only available because Swansea are looking to bring in Kenwyne Jones. He had a good season last season but has struggled to maintain form and Swansea now primarily use Michu as the lone striker. I think he looks slow with average technique although he's psycially built to play as a...

    As I've said all along he will outshine Christian Eriksen as the most promising danish player although they play different roles. Very impressed that he's already starting to prove himself this season for Ajax. He will go on to be a fantastic player but Ajax wont sell until he has attracted more...

    You would think 80K a week would be more than enough to take care of that.

    Wesley Sneider

    I think it's sad to treat the boyhood dream of millions as just a job. A few years back he was rated as one of the greatest players in the world. Now he plays in a league ranked as what 7th or 8th? purely because top teams didn't want to match his current wage.

    Sad to see another great player choosing money over sporting ambitions.

    I believe so, but would love to be proved wrong. A class player that would do great in the premier league.

    Good defender but he's as much a ball playing central defender as Dawson.
