EBS1980 Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 If you think the prices we got for our departed players was good apparently Fulham are signing Ross McCormack from Leeds for £11m!! I had to double check there wasn't a point between the two ones. Now that is crazy money!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 I'm not convinced ince junior would have fitted in with us . I hear he has a bigger attitude problem than his father . Hence the reason he was taken on by a European side or a top Liverpool side . And the reason he has signed for hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 There's nothing wrong with national managers wanting their players to all play in the champions league. The more experience you get against top sides and different styles and formations the better. Its not a big conspiracy against the Southampton and ever tons of this world.

Elsewhere, I saw this on the SSN news ticker just now Another Algeria international who caught the eye during the World Cup was Yacine Brahimi, with reports in Portugal claiming that the Granada man could be on his way to Porto. The Portuguese club are reported to be in advanced negotiations over an 8million euros deal for a player who is also said to be attracting interest from Everton, Liverpool and Udinese.

Foxstone Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Spurs worry me the most now, re: Morgan. I really do not think that Spurs are up for spending lots of cash this window - They blew the bank last year and it's up to Poch to make it all work with perhaps a few modest additions. After all, it was only yesterday they were offering the unwanted Sigurdsson as a straight swap for Davies and Vorm! It does'nt seem like a club on the acquisition trail to me.

S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Spurs worry me the most now, re: Morgan. Dembele, Lamella, Soldado, Lennon, Vertonghan, Lloris, Walker - not a bad spine. The area's they probably will look to is a new LB and another striker, that's what I'd see as their priority's if I'm honest. I cannot see them spending what would need to be around £20m on a midfielder when they already have Sigurdson, Sandro, Paulinho, Dembele. Here's hoping, anyway!
