Honestly think there'll be a few more out/in before the window shuts. Happy with our business so far and think we could be a bit of a surprise package this season. Obviously there is a danger with all the new signings that we may struggle again this season, but I'm optimistic and backing us to surprise a few people with our results.

I agree on Gestede, he looks made for the premier league, I think he is a good bet for 12-15 goals this season I really do. Big, powerful and seems to get in there where it hurts.

I do like Aaron Lennon as a possible signing though, I said a lot last season that unless Gabby was in then we are too slow at times, Lennon is quick and would give us that dimension, and was good at Everton last season on loan. For the right money I think he would be decent enough.

I agree on both these points, but with regard to the latter, that's why I would be quite happy should Andros Townsend arrive.

I think the problem with Lennon would also be Levy wanting too much + a question of wages. I just don't really think playing brinkmanship with Levy is worth it

I think Levy thinks he has Tim Sherwood in his pocket.   I imagine he has been rather surprised at the hard line he and Fox have taken.   I also imagine Levy thought the Benteke money would go the same way as the Bale money.   Pissed up in the air.

In my humble, Lennon is definitely not worth it.

In all honesty, I quite like Adebayor as a player. If fit, he'd be a very good striker for us. I trust Sherwood's judgement, though. Lennon would be better than Bacuna as a winger, for example.

Well it appears that Adebayor wants to cruise up the M40 daily, turn up for training at around 10AM and then get back to his palatial residence as soon as possible thereafter. Tim Sherwood wants them ready for training at 9AM sharp. In the past (as Roy Keane confirmed) certain players
were somewhat lax about timekeeping. Well boys the times they are a changing!

Tedious links to this Tottenham trio are getting boring very fast. Adebayor, Lennon and Townsend simply aren't worth the hassle haggling over when the scouting team have already proved this summer that we can find better quality and value elsewhere.

Every time I hear Lennon's name mentioned I think of those photos of him signing for Everton

That's pretty funny. It kind of reminds me of when N'Zogbia signed for us, but that of course was less funny. At least Lennon played quite well for Everton.

Are you displeased to see us or is that a bad case of wind?

Every time I see an underwhelmed looking "just signed" player, I always think of the look on Anelka's face when he joined the Stripeys

This picture was tweeted at the time by someone with this brilliant description: "An ecstatic Nicolas Anelka, holding the WBA shirt like it's a dead pigeon covered in sick."
