The transfer window is open and there isnt a hint of a move happening, in or out of the club, I suppose they're waiting on the potential managerial change before approaching targets but we have to get the wheels in motion ASAP.

Spurs squad vs ours is close, if they have a fit Kane all next year they'll beat us to 4th without some decent signings.
GavRedKing wrote: » Well if the season started tomorrow, I'd fancy us for at least 4th but it would be a 3 way fight with Spurs and Arsenal. I think the EL could be vital for us this year as sad as that sounds, I do think we should go all out to win it anyway but in the early rounds, play the best youth prospects and bench and see how we get on, they should have enough about them to get through the group stages, hold back he seniors for the league and latter stages of the EL.

We seriously need a CM. Drinkwater is gone, Baka should be kept, Cesc is on his last legs. Kante is the only one who is good enough to start every game. Jorginho and Fabinho were 2 good targets that we appear to have missed out on. That leaves the likes of Sarri, Savic (can't spell the start of his name) from Lazio and not much else. Liverpool are really pushing on it has to be said.

I always liked Derby. :pac: I'd expect he'll be knocking on the door for a loan or two from Chelsea, I'd send Mason Mount there see how he gets on in the Championship for a team that should be pushing for promotion, Lamps could be a huge influence on the lad too.
