Dembele to Spurs and Hudd to Fulham on a season long loan, sounds reasonable to me. NITK. Defoe only if we have someone else lined up as I think he's a square hole in the land of round pegs.
I agree on Affelay. He's is pretty decent but might struggle to oust one of our starters, though when you think of that is perfect as he'll be a squad rotatenator probably. Not paying big bucks for Willian means we could save some cash for someone else....cough... Llorente.

It's alarming to me that making observations about Friedel should cause so much consternation and lead to him being called a 'spacegoat'...but anyway...I agree, this team does not need major surgery providing AVB gets EXACTLY who he wants to replace Modric...we are all about to discover life in a post-Modric/Spurs world. He is a fantastic player, and anyone who thinks we won't miss him is about to learn a hard lesson IMHO. Again, I only hope AVB gets exactly who he wants (I'm guessing Moutinho)...

Gio is out of contract next summer, so can sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January.
Unless we have one of our +2s we can enforce, it's now or never in terms of getting a fee for him.

I don't think replacing Friedel is going to wave a magic wand. I saw you were highly critical of the goal he conceded on Saturday. Agree 100% he could've dealt with the cross when Gallas ended up heading off the line but there's no way he could've got down to the shot from Morrison. It was from the penalty spot and he side footed it right into the corner. By that measurement he should also save all penalties?! He also made two fantastic saves earlier on to keep us in front. I think LLoris will be equally susceptible from crosses...in which case we've paid £15m for a goalkeeper with better 'feet'!

I can see why Friedel is questionable based on age etc...I thought the same thing last year. But I really don't think he will decline to such an extent in 12 months. He's fine to me, did a very good job last year and I can only see him doing the same again this year. One thing massively underestimated about him is his calmness. He doesn't get overhyped or excited - he treats every match like its a training session which enables him to perform at his very best. Gomes' achilles heel was getting too stressed in games and caused him to flap at crosses or make errors of judgements...a real shame because ability-wise he's right up there with the very best.

I don't know if this was mentioned in the OMT but IMO Gallas should take some part of the blame for the goal. After heading away he stopped to rant.

It's a bit of surgery, but necessary.
King retired so Verts came in.
Sig replaced Krancjar.
Ade has become permanent.
Moutinho (or plan b i.e. Dembele or M'Villa) will replace Modric.
That's all like-for-like and essential (other than Sig maybe).
Of the others Friedel is creaking and does need to be replaced and all last season people were crying out for cover/competition for Bale and Lennon (Willian) and Ade (Leandro).
AVB inherited a squad with a lot of holes, and a lot of players on their last legs (King, Saha, Nelsen, Friedel, Cudicini, Gallas and Parker).
Hopefully after this big initial blast, things will settle down and we can grow more organically.

Parker should be good for one more season if not two. One of the fittest we had last season bar injuries.
but agree with your post otherwise
I think the big surprise will come from Emirates Marketing Project.

A big late bid. I hope it's not one of out targets, or worse one of our players!
