Are you saying we should be signing the likes of grant holt?

Best of listening to a word ol colonial has to say, he spouts verbal diarrhea at the best of times.

On Sanogo not sure what rating L'Equire gave him but he did manage to be France top scorer with 4 goals and didn't look bad anytime I seen him.

I seen him play a few times in that tournament and thought he was very good too.

Trying to decide whether or not Setanta is worth the 20 euro a month be nice to watch today's games but I'm already paying 107 a month is adding 20 worth it. Stupid BT and Setanta.

If you do subscribe to the setanta pack, doing it online has no connection fee & enter 'DEAL' in the promo box & you get two months for 12 something.

you should try plus1HD though, about €8 a month and you'd get the first 3 games of the season & the CL games in that time too if you do it tomorrow

What type of quality could one expect when streaming through this VPN?

I would imagine that a lot of people would have the same idea when the sub is only €15 a month + whatever the VPN costs. Could the VPN handle this at peak times?

I've tried a few services and they are usually great until the football starts and then they fall over under the strain.

the issues wouldn't be the VPN's or site themselves handling it, it's more your connection speed thats being slashed using it, so the better connection you've in the first place the better

people on here have sub'd. to another middle east service using overplay as the VPN
you only need their VPN to sign up, then you use their smartDNS service the rest of the time so you're not going through the VPN after the initial signup, it's about $5 a month
there's a guide in the online sites thread about it or on digitalspy somewhere like thay

a few had issues quality wise others didn't

Trying to work out the lack of activity in the transfer market this Summer and I'm beginning to wonder whether our acquisitions team (Dick Law?) have been completely blown apart by the prices at the.top of the market.We had our targets - Jovetic, Higuain etc and what we thought we could get them for. The fees have been in excess of what we expected and we haven't been able to compete. Perhaps the board are not giving Dick enough flexibility to negotiate.

I understand there was a board meeting yesterday. Perhaps they looked at what's gone wrong this close season and how matters fan be remedied before the window closes.

He was right on Higuain, not worth that kind of money. 15 million at best. He didn't look that special the few times I've seen him at Madrid or that Napoli game. People mentioning Holt, you know you're wrong, Norwich didn't even want him. Championship player at best.

I'm pretty sure we will sign a World class Striker and a one or two others.

Even if we win the league I could see him leaving in 2 years

If he gives us three years and a lot of goal's plus a few medal's in that time. Then it be worth it really.

If we did sign Suarez, where exactly will he play? Will he automatically take Girouds spot up front or will Wenger play him on the wing? Or just behind Giroud?

He'll be Gevinho's replacement.

This is why we did not go for Higuin for 35m because he is just an out and otu striker and knowing wenger, He likes to play our players in different positions.

For the 100th time asking, ANyone going to the Emirates cup?

im going

I'd be fairly pissed if we spent 45m on him and then stuck him on the wing. He's been bought to score goals

Talking to a few Spurs fans last night and they were of the opinion of that De Maria and Contreau were coming part of the Bale deal hopefully thats not true, I would love us to get De Maria he would be a great signing for us. With the likes of Gerv and Chamakh gone as well I am very confident that we will do quite a good bit of business in the next few weeks, maybe 4 or 5 new players coming in.

There is no way thats happening. Swap deals never work out. Nevermind a deal involving two players

I'd go for 3 but 5 would be amazing. I do think the team need depth, we're not far away from winning the title. De Maria would be a great singing.

I think 3 players to come in that can go straight into the starting XI and maybe 2 or 3 that would be more squad players that have the potential to break into the team. There is no way on earth we can even think about competing if we don't bring in players the squad is way too bare now the club couldn't be that naive to think we can challenge with such a small pool of players.

I agree he's a disgrace but obvious talent? His ego is writing cheques his (lack of talent) can't cash. He is Sunderland or Stoke level at best. He was useless at Juventus last season in a team with some fairly ordinary strikers at the time.

When has he ever really displayed obvious top level talent? At Birmingham in the Championship when he scored 11 in 42? Or when he struggled to 8 at Sunderland when he was playing every week.

I didnt say top level talent. He'd be a good (not great) signing for a mid level team but he isnt interested in that because he'd have to take a pay cut. Considering his age, he should be just coming into his prime instead of wasting it counting money. If he applied himself he could still have a good career.

Talk (ok The Sun) claiming that we've agreed terms with 19 year old defensive midfielder/central defender Ginter for 6 million. Anyone know anything about him?

Just reading a bit about him there. 19 y/o played 26 times for Freiburg last year. They finished 5th in the Bundesliga. Sounds promising
