Only that isn't what he's said now is it
The next few days will tell all I'm sure.
Sam
Otamendi stuff is back. Valencia are apparently bringing in Garay, which is seen as Otamendi's replacement. We'll see.
.verse
Wish we would sign some fucking players though, it's been a painfully stale looking pre-season and start to the season thus far.

Pedro seems like the usual transfer saga that won't go anywhere, this season's Gaitain/Vidal/Sneijder/Garay/Thiago etc... and I don't think we're interested in Otamendi at all (which actually makes a lot of sense as long as you apply Van Gaal's weird concepts of squad building to it).
Number 1
I thought when we sold Juve Boumsong they'd just been relegated for their role in Calciopoli, he then barely played, and it took him to finding Panathanikos to actually be a coherent defender. Maybe. Could be crossing my wires there.
Meanwhile, a Chronicle poll said over 70% of surveyed want Joey Barton back after a deal to take him to West Ham fell through. Hmmmmm. Not sure about that one. Also not sure about one or two Tweeters implying we should re-sign Jose Enrique, given he's spent most of his time at Liverpool rusting in their reserves.

What a day to be alive.
Sam
I think Pedro is coming. Otamendi not so sure, but I can see us getting two more players in.
Ninja
Pedro just stinks like all the other transfer sagas.
Deal imminent between the clubs, apparently, but yet a new excuse every day for why it hasn't happened yet and then another date that its apparently scheduled for.
Sam
I read rumours weeks ago that Barca wanted to hold onto him until the Super Cup, so I wasn't surprised to see him stay until then. I think it'll happen, we're just being petty about a fee.
Marca say City have bid for him too, and that they've offered €2M more than the asking price. So, you know, probably bullshit.
Number 1
Mail claims that Gouffran, Abeid, Vuckic and Bigirimana can also leave. There's also a claim we've approached Brighton about a swap deal with Lewis Dunk moving to the North East.
Bit of a shame about MA, HV and GB, who coud've been decent growers in another world. Not sure about Dunk, but he's meant to be alright and does score a few.

None have progressed the way they should have tbf.
Whether that was due to the poor coaching team we've had or just not actually being that good who knows?
We're still in need of 3 quality signings so hopefully this is making room for them. We've had a good start to the window but it'll mean nothing if we don't get the rest.
Number 1
Probably a bit of both tbf. Abeid and Bigi showed flashes of it but never really played enough. GB definitely stalled after being decent in patches in 12/13, while Abeid was alright at the start of last season and poor in the second half. Although that description can be used for a lot of our team.
And yeah we still need a few improvements. I still think we could use an extra full-back (maybe one that can play both RB/LB as a back-up to Janmaat), although I'm not overly certain Charlie Austin is still a requirement. Even if the media still seems to think we want him, after rumouring it for about 60000 years.
bluemoon.
Shola's going to be fuming.
Sam
But as proven this summer Sky sources are fucking useless. Irrelevant.
Franck
BR.
Played for us for a couple of years, showed flashes but was often isolated in Big Sam's lone striker system, I trust Fiorentina and Sousa will play more to his strengths. Must have done well at Dnipro too.
Shola
I'm not particulary pro-Williamson. He's just a very easy scapegoat, by people too stupid to understand a simple game. He's been fucking miles better than most CB's I've endured. Martin Demichellis would be a good comparison imo.
If Newcastle end the summer with Taylor/Mbemba/Colo/Another good CB I'll be happy. Although history suggests they'll sell Williamson for £400k and buy some 5'7 jabroni who won't get a look in for £6m.
And Wiliamson has been available all summer. People just love to moan about how he'll be the first name on the teamsheet.
Sam
Imagine City sweeping in and grabbing both due to us haggling.

Sounds like us, we've done it far too many times

Great character.

I don't think he is what Spurs need right now but then again I could be wrong. His end product needs improvement.
Oh, and we just signed Anders Konradsen from Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Sam
My god, who saw this coming?!?!
bluemoon.
Sam
Daniel Taylor and others say we were never in for him, meh.

Still only 2 games in, mind.
