The only thing thats quite obvious is that we'll be spending more money. Looks like another 2 Full backs will be done fairly soon and ill be pretty confident saying before the window closes more money will be spent on a striker regardless of Borini still being here or not.

I'll be happy enough if we get Bony. As great as Sturridge is for us the one thing you can pretty much put money on is he'll pick up injuries and miss games. *Fingers crossed it doesn't happen* So having a player to come in and be a real goal threat for us rather than Lambert or Borini that might possibly, maybe, hopefully do a decent job.

does he play for Southampton?

He's just big boned.

Collymore is a good shout as he should have been boss but his attitude stank. But making a call I'd say Kewell I remember being so pumped by his signing getting his name on the back of a jersey. Last time I ever did that as well. I guess I probably jinxed him.

The spurs game we had an early sending off & skrtel was RB both bale and modric ran amok. Painful stuff to watch.

did you not say we won't be buying remy. Something about fake scousers & liars?

As music has I'd like it to be true that anfield oracle twitter account is the greatest load of shite I've ever seen.

agree with all that apart from cavani as I don't think he's all that. But everything else you said in particular about going for proven talent is spot on.

does that mean we end up getting him and he turns out to be fucking shite.

theres no need to worry unless Southampton sign him. Then worry.

Not really a fair comparison stig. The players don't play in same positions. Also Lambert was bought in as a back up option up front not as a first 11 player.

fingers crossed he takes that form into playing for Chelsea

Zlatan?....*runs for cover*

i would have thought he mostly would be fighting it out with couthinio in the no.10 top of the diamond poisition. But the big advantage of him is he can play a deeper roll as well as also playing out wide in a front 3.

This is true but I have noticed a slight change in the media perception of him towards the end of last season. (After 1 match in particular i think the villa one Redknapp had a real go at his cuntishness) It's funny how his antics and behaviour is acceptable when they win trophies but when they don't the boot gets stuck in. Hopefully touch wood they have a poor start to next season and that combined with the absolute shite football they play will put Jose under huge pressure.

Although in saying that. I'd prefer if we upgraded Johnson instead. The useless lazy twat.

Even though he had a good season I hope we upgrade on him in the first 11. And have him as our cover CB.

@BenSmithBBC: Adam Lallana has told #SaintsFC he wants to leave. No formal transfer request, yet. More @BBCSport

My initial reaction was "Rickie fucking Lambert" but after reading through some posts and opinions & having a think about it i've changed my mind. I'm well on board with this a player for a decent fee who will give his all either as a sub or to cover for injured players. Also i didn't realise that his Goal & Assist ratio was so high which is even sweeter.

He has talent but not worth the baggage. He seems to always get involved with not only his own team mates but most people he comes in contact with. Take away the penalties he scores (which he does pretty well) because stevie will be taking those. Does his goal scoring record hold up? Seems to me he would be the exact type of player Brendan wouldn't take too he likes his players to have a good work ethic and be all about the team.

Lovern is he any use? Would he be better than Skrtel?

ill be heading with the kids later was well. Hopefully Ibe & Borini get a good run out.

brilliant.

wasn't sure if I wanted Agger to come back in or not. After reading that now I want sakho to start. He seems to have a real winners mentality as well as proper channeled aggression.
