Guzan is more than adequate for mid table in this league. Begovic is better than him, but £10m better? No chance. I think you also have to question why Stoke seem happy replacing him with Butland.
I don't think they do.

He's got 12 months left, not signing a new contract so they might as well bring through a new young keeper just like they did with Begovic before him.

It's not a case of happy, it's a case of making do with the situation that they've been handed.

In goal, maybe not, ( following the latest debate) but otherwise I think, why not.
Unless Tim has other plans for midfield.

Back to page 1 of this thread, though, full circle!

Short memories n all that. His kicking is shit but what's new there, he kept us up season before last.

I think we've got so many number one priorities, I'm not sure which is the real one.

Amen to this brother. I change my mind around 3 times a day.

Sakho looks a bit of a 1 in 4 player. Better than NZogbia and very direct though, so welcome option for decent wages.

Is it worth selling Benteke for 25m to get Austin and Begovic? Would we be better off?

Absolutely yes to this if,

1. They would both want to come
2. Tekkers goes abroad to play
3. There is going to be no money in pot pre season

I see Tyrone mings is joining Bournemouth for £8m. Not that I know this player in particular, but that's pretty depressing. I couldn't see us doing that, at the moment at least.

No. The new television deal means we should be looking to invest more than we receive, not just break even.

He seems like a decent bloke, but £8m? Don't be fooled by the price tag, remember when we signed Curtis Davies, that's why we wouldn't be doing that.

I understand the point Matt is making but £8m for an unproven championship full back is madness.

I wouldn't mind us spending £8 million on a lower league player as we did with Delph, when we're safely ensconced in the top six, with lots of top quality players in and around him or indeed, in front of him in the pecking order.

When you're fighting relegation, as Bournemouth will be doing, its a big risk to bring that type of player in.

The risk can cut both ways of course.

I would argue that you can only ever have one priority! Mind you, I agree completely...

Is there new news on Sako that I've missed?

If we sign him I shall be calling him Bak Sak.

Evening Standard reckon Sherwood is making eyes at Adebayor.

I really do hope this is very lazy journalism.
