So far, we have... IN: Sagna, Fernando (rumoured), OUT: Lescott, Barry, Pants... So where does that leave us with the first team squad at the moment, and what do we still need to strengthen? GK: Hart, Wright RB: Zabaleta, Sagna, Richards CB: Kompany, Demichelis, Nastasic, Rekik, Boyata LB...

Get the lad on board for this alone ;) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/worldcup2014/article-2652183/Arjen-Robben-clashes-teammate-Bruno-Martins-Indi-Holland-World-Cup-training.html For reference, he's a 22yr old 6'1 centre back from Feyenoord, and NO, I'm not seriously suggesting we go in...

With all the troubles at Leeds, and the (getting higher) chance that they may 'do a Rangers' and not be able to pay their players for 14 days, triggering all of their squad to be able to leave of a free, is there anyone we might take a gander at? For me, only Sam Byram would be anything like a...

Only 34 (heh!), capable of howlers and heroics is nearly equal measures... Will be priced out of QPR shortly. Worthwhile as a number 2 if/when Pants leaves? Or a number 3? At least he's English.... ;)

Mail reporting our apparent interest in their 'Football Grapevine' (translation: complete bullshit) column. At 25 is the right age to grow with the team, but also be experienced. Is a seasoned international (with *snort* New Zealand!) and is a solid 6'3, but surely not?

I seem to remember a bit of interest in this lad a year or so ago. 25, had some injury issues, but bizarre ones - he was run over by his own car for example - rather than chronic. Looks like he'll play a reasonable role for Argentina at the WC, and is a pretty decent midfield fulcrum with a...

Mail this morning reporting that Javi is to be leaving us in the summer for one of Fernando - who seems to have signed a new contract with Porto for the purposes of making them a few extra bucks on the transfer, seeing as his agent is apparently saying he's nailed on for a move to the...

Did us a BIG favour tonight. Puts some of the hysterical "it's all over" posts in the post-match thread into perspective. Now for the Arse and the Rags to scrap out a stalemate and for us to grind out a win against a tricky Sunderland and we're laughing again... Funny what a difference a...

24yr old, 6'1 RB; Daily Express reporting that he's stalling on a new Feyenoord contract ahead of reported interest from the Arse in June. To get in ahead of the FM jibes, I'm NOT saying we ought to sign him, but simply interested cos he's a new entry into the journo merry-go-round. Has anyone...

I say this with some trepidation, but any interest? The trite answer is "not good enough for Spuds, not good enough for us", but IMO it's never quite that simple. He's only 23, former German U21s captain and a full international, and he plays in the centre of the park. It may be that he's...

Harry Maguire (Sheffield United) is a 6'4, 20yr old local product who's been capped once at U21 level. Apparently being looked at the Gollum for the Scum. One that maybe gets overlooked is Eric Dier (Sporting CP) because he plays in Portugal. A 6'2 Cheltenham lad who's turning only 20 in a few...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2341489/Isco-close-signing-Manchester-City.html All you need to see is the headline, the article only references the fact that Isco has a £30m buyout clause and that we've already bought Fernandinho and Navas for somewhere around £45m. What...

Pellegrini's wish list according to the (*sigh*) Mirror... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfers-luis-suarez-manchester-1911921 For those who dont obsess over this: Godín is a 6'1, 27yr old CB; Rami a 6'3, 27yr old CB; Mario Suárez Mata a 6'1, 26yr old DM...

All 'linked' to us by WUMs, media bullshit or posters having a fap. Have at it.

Last one (for a while), I promise. Diego Ribas da Cunha? On the massive outer at Wolfsburg. 28, so not young, but worth a go. Huge ability? Great passing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Ribas_da_Cunha EDIT: only a couple of months older than Fernandinho...

With Reading going down, and considering the oft-proposed hypothetical on here that Džeko goes in [your] summer and Guidetti is loaned out to a PL club for top level experience (or sold), would this be worth considering? He's proven at the level, probably ok with the 'super sub' role and a local...

Been doing a bit of reading in respect of young playmakers outside of the obvious. A name that has popped up a bit is Ruben Pardo Gutiérrez from Real Sociedad. He's 20/21year old 6footer midfielder, capped in the Spanish U/21s, who posters on other forums, Sociedad fans and random media are...

Both 23, both 6ft midfielders who have a strong passing range. Sven spanked RM in the semi, Lars is more-capped by ze Germans. Would either be gettable?

The Mirror (I know, I know...) reporting we're keen. Would you take him? Always rather rated him at Arsenal, despite the Barcelona experiment being an abject failure. Versatile like Garcia, but not slow like Garcia. Only 25, PL-experienced. Barça would probably be happy to lose him on the...
