Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

True Moe

Though I think there's smoke here, plus I don't think even the Daily Mail, who despite being an xenophobic rag who employ muppets like Adrian Durham, wouldn't be so categorical in their article unless they've seen or been informed of something by someone in the know.

4) Why is it that a mid 30's keeper, who was very good as few years ago, is thought to be a better bet than a 22 year old now good enough to play for Italy. If we had this year over again knowing what we know - who would you start with as DM, Arteta or Coquelin?

5) Yes De Gea had a dodgy start but it doesn't mean anything. Di Maria has had a dodgy start for Utd but Sanchez has been superb for us. Lloris started well for the Spuds, you can't NOT buy quality youngsters incase they don't start very well - you would only ever buy older experienced pro's in that case.

6) That is your opinion - not mine. Can't possibly have the reflexes he had a decade ago & his head injury has affected his decision making.

1) Perrin only has one cap for Italy!

Sure he's talented and I've heard a lot of good things about him but he's way far from established yet.

Besides, we've already got two talented young keepers at the club who have a lot of potential. We don't need another one.

2) It's means a lot as it reinforces the generally held belief that it takes time for younger players to develop and fulfill their potential, something we can't really afford to do in a critical position like keeper if we want to mount a serious offensive for the league next year.

And no it doesn't imply the last bit. You can buy talented youngsters, but you usually play them alongside experienced pro's - you don't throw them in the deep end by playing them weekly unless you really have no choice or unless they impress consistently (see Bellerin).

3) I'd speculate it's opinion of a majority on here and of general football fans who don't support Spurs.

Cech did go quite dodgy for a while a few years back, but seems to have got over that somewhat.

In any case, even if he wasn't as good as he still is, he'd still be your best keeper for like the last decade.

He is not world class anymore but as mentioned he is the best keeper we could realistically hope to sign and that will probably be the case for a while in truth. Chelsea fans don't seem to be treating it as him being a 'reject' incidentally.

Ornstein has spoken!

No deal yet.

Well, now we've signed Bogdan anyway

I actually prefer someone like Lloris too. On one hand, Cech's more of a calming influence, a better organiser and a better shot stopper (although I rate Lloris as a stopper too). And he'll be fired up for beating Chelsea and proving Mourinho wrong for dropping him for Courtois. But he's nowhere near as good as he used to be and I think Lloris suits us more.

He makes more mistakes but that's partly because he plays more aggressively, and has to because his defence plays 10 yards further forward than some other keepers are used to. He's great at one on ones and anticipates when someone is going to get put through on goal very early. We need a keeper like that with our high line system. He also regularly gets exposed by the terrible defence in front of him, unlike Cech.

There's no chance of Spurs selling him to us, but a keeper of a similar type and calibre would be perfect. I won't be complaining if we sign Cech though

Nicely done if it comes off....

And Kondogbia to Inter!??

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well, now we've signed Bogdan anyway

He's the best ginger in footballing history.
