London Saint

Spurs fans I have spoken to about Falque rate him very highly from seeing just a handful of Carling Cup performances and were pleased to sign him permanently

Middlesbrough were crying out for a decent target man and now they have got one in LJ watch them finish above us Meanwhile we sign some Japanese striker no-one has heard of who could take months to settle into England and the English game in general In Nige we trust eh?

Doubt WHU would sell anyone half decent to their main rivals for the league title!

If he is a free agent then we may well be bringing another striker

But he is better than Sharp, Maynard or Juketiwicz? Only time will tell but I would have rather had someone that had at least played in English football before We all know how long some foreign players take to 'bed in' to the English game and style of play

Definitely need Chappers energy, drive and commitment. He sets a good example on the pitch for the rest of the team and I agree we dont look as strong when is not playing...

Two winnable home games coming up followed by a trip to Brighton should see us through nicely into 2012 at the top too... Still need to strengthen the squad though - and a new striker would be top of the list Cortese will realise this might be our only chance for many years to get back to the Prem so he should really pull out all the stops to give Nige the money he needs

Doubt we will lose 9 of our remaining 14 away games !!! thats more like relegation form than promotion material.... Apart from that I can see your argument in that we are ahead of schedule for automatic promotion I dont really care if we finish 1st or 2nd, as long as we can maintain that gap between ourselves and 3rd...

Is he Johnno quick though? ;-)

Get off our bus!!!

We have 32 games left to the end of the season We already have 30 points and probably need another 56 points minimum to secure automatic promotion So 56 points from 32 games is definitely achievable - even if we only win half of those games that would give us another 48 points and so we would only need to draw half of the other remaining 16 games, and so could still afford to lose 8 of those matches. Of course if we maintain our current form we will end up with 98 points and so will walk this league back to the Prem...

please dont say things like this...its just asking for him to score against us

They are a better side than a lot of the teams occupying the lower places in the Prem so i am fully expecting a home defeat! Anything else is a bonus

Anyone know what our record is like for the game that follows the international break in the past?

Of course he is signing for us over LCFC Who the **** wants to live in Leicester??

Am surprised Arsenal are taking the risk on someone unproven even at Championship level, let alone the Premiership As Saturday proved though, we can do quite well without him! Just hope it gives Nigel the chance to spend some of that money to strengthen the squad in key areas

Spot on. I would go with the experience and power of Jahdi tomorrow, esp in a high pressure situation like opening day of the season and live on TV.

It doesnt bother me that we are letting Gobern go to Huddersfield. Im not going to lose any sleep over that. What bothers me is that we are SELLING players when we should perhaps be BUYING players?!!

Possibly better than the senior Englad defence!

This. And, the fact that he's not playing Euro U21s means he isnt going to be in a potential shop window for other clubs to pinch him!

Please god let this be true - £2.5m would be dreamland money for Puncheon! That would defo fund the signing of CMS from PBoro, and maybe leave some change for a top class CB!

Onwards and upwards. COYR!

It could be squeaky bum time when the tannoy announces Huddersfield are winning 9-0 at half time!

Team: Davis Harding Fonte Jaidi Richardson Lallana Chaplow Hammond Guly Lambert Connolly Only change from Saturday is Chaplow for Stephens who I thought looked very average and Jaidi for Seaborne as Jaidi has had his rest now...
