5 mill is a potential steal....a genuine finisher who can contribute to attacking moves as well

The rule for players coming from the SPL nowadays is assume they're brick. If they begin to impress you, keep telling yourself they are brick because they will eventually prove you right (Hutton).

I'm going to apply this rule to 'linked with Barcelona' Wanyama too. Steven Fletcher was 'linked with Real Madrid' when he was at Hibs, Hutton was 'linked with Man Utd' at Rangers - Scottish journos just want to feel like their league is remotely big again.

The success rate of these signings is abysmal even when they are purportedly linked with the world's biggest clubs. Pretty sure Fletcher is the only competent, PL-level player who has come from the SPL recently? brick like Gary Caldwell and youngsters like McCarthy don't count.

Remember the days when they had the likes of Gattuso, Larsen and even Arteta LOL!
 
So Valencia has had a loan bid for Giroud turned down. Atleast we know they are looking for strikers.

Edit. Source is Sky, and they got it from lequipe (sp?)

I've been quite impressed every time I've seen him play. I think he's gonna do well in the PL.

I agree, although Wanyama might be an exception. Only time will tell.

I think you can add Jelavic to the list of players impressing at first to later prove you right with your assumption.

A lot of people have said that, but as you say, only time will tell. £12.5m is pretty steep, can see why no bigger clubs than Southampton came in for him at that price. Yeah forgot about Jelavic.. the list goes on.

The real question about Wanyama will be if he's capable of stepping it up on the ball at a higher tempo for a side that enjoys a considerable amount of possession.

Southampton have done some good deals recently and I think they will have done their homework before spending that kind of money, will be interesting to see.
 
Humour from the Torquay United Official Website... they obviously have the same developers/operators as Spurs!

OFFICIAL site always gets there last...I get my info from the fans’ forum or Bob in the pub....grumble, groan and moan.

Hang on a minute, briefly forgot where I was.

We can now confirm that defender Krystian Pearce has passed his medical and signed all the paperwork on a two-year deal with the Gulls.

We know this has been reported elsewhere this morning but within the club, we are reluctant to speculate on transfer dealings until everything is confirmed. Now we can climb out of this pond of self-pity, the important thing is that Krystian is fully signed up to the United cause and ready for action.

How Ramos can shake his hand after that amazes me. In fact my respect for Ramos has gone up because having spit thrown at me twice including in my face I think I might have lost it on him.

He'll fit right in!
