this is so depressing. United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have all strengthened. Currently we are a lot weaker than last season ie no Modders and no Adebayor. I thought we were supposed to improve each year, cant see us getting 4th again, more like 6th.

They're not reporting it as breaking news or anything, it's just in their round-up.
Liverpool have strengthened, but not by much more than we have (2 players). I think Allen is a tidy player, but he was second choice to Sigurdsson for them and we got their first choice target. Borini is ok, but not world-class. He's a prospect, could go one of two ways. Not sure they've bought anyone else and possibly look like losing Agger.
Arsenal have bought 3 players, but lost their best stand-out player by far. The 3 coming in are unproven in the league. Again those signings could go either way. I'd say looking at their squad they are actually weaker, just because they don't have RVP. Giroud and Podolski aren't 'other level' players like RVP is. Carzola is a very good player, but again he generally doesn't get anywhere near the Spain first XI and is really a downgraded replacement for Fabregas a year late.
United - always going to have more pull than us with CL and them being United - can't really compare.
Chelsea - well we can't really compare ourselves to them in terms of ability to strengthen, so why bother doing so?
All depends on how Arse's three signings settle in compared to what they lose when RvP leases. If they settle in quickly then 5th/6th is likely. If they dont they we could get 4th however that depends on us getting a sensible CF and Modric replacement in
The fact that Ade is on ridiculously high wages at City is an anomaly. It was the product of a middling but suddenly nouveau riche club desperately in need of players that would otherwise have been well beyond its reach. Adebayor will never again receive a contract offer that is remotely close to that which he received from City.
What Spurs are offering him is probably as good as he is likely to get anywhere - unless he wants to move to Anzhi Makhachkala - especially since, reports suggest, City are prepared to make up the difference for the next two years.
I think that, come midnight on August 31st at the latest, Ade will realise that.

Plus King retired and Parker out for GHod knows how long? I f'ing hate this transfer window.. 2 weeks to pull some big things out the bag... even then they will have to take time to gel!
Edit: Bugger, beaten to it, by a better post too grrr!

I dont think thats true at all, Allen and Sig for Swansea equate to Modric and VDV for us - totally different players

Apparently Agger showed up at training with ynwa tattoed on his knuckles this week. According to norwegian newspapers anyway, so I doubt he'd leave unless he's forced out.

forgot about King, and Parker. whoops. Good job im not going to be able to watch the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game as I think we will get done up there. We dont normally do well up there anyway do we...

Playing a system that requires a lone forward, with only one player who can play as a lone forward?
It would be like starting the season with only one goalkeeper in the entire squad.
Give me Pav or Saha back ahead of any of those alternatives.
You have a point, but it still remains their no. 1 target they went for this summer was Sigurdsson and we got him. I wouldn't say they are much stronger than they were last season and are in the same boat as us in terms of being able to do all the business they want early on this summer.
It's a good word, isn't it?!!

Is Lucas fit? If so, I see he and Allen as a significant upgrade on Adam/Hendersen.
I think their second choice to Sigurdsson appeared to be Dempsey, but that one has gone quiet as well.
Ive no idea how good Borini is, which is the real catch because finishing was their greatest issue last season
First of all, how on earth have you come to the conclusion that ade wont play on saturday, and 'two games after'. He has been training with city's reserves and played 45 minutes for togo last night, you clearly know jackbrick about his fitness so dont assume.
Ade may not be a natural finisher, but he scored 17 goals and made 12 assists. He doesnt need to be a natural finisher. VDV is one of the best finishers in the league.
You clearly neglected the fact that i said it would be fine UNTIL january. Then i would fully expect another striker.
If you dont agree with MY opinion then fine, but dont make sarcy comments about it. Sorry for being realistic on what our transfer situation likely is at the moment.
You can fill in rest . . .

This thread gets more pathetic by the day. Several posters now pining for the good old days of Pav & Saha.
Get a grip.
