Pipe down, Danny. You'll never 'ave it so good! Having to google signings...mate, you want to be a Villan circa 2013. Tonev and Bowery had every search engine known to man stumped, we even had to ask Jeeves!

Quote

Full-back Danny Rose has questioned why the squad has not been strengthened.

But Pochettino told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's not easy to find the right profile but I'm sure we'll add some players in the next few weeks."

In an interview with the Sun on Thursday, Rose, who joined from Leeds in 2007, said he would "love to see two or three well-known players" arrive, adding: "And not players you have to Google and say 'Who's that?"

He also said he would consider moving "back up north" but specified: "I'm not saying I want out, but if something came to me that was concrete, I'd have no qualms about voicing my opinions to anyone at the club."

The interview with Rose was from a few months ago, it's only a couple of days before the Prem League kicks off that the papers put it in print.
Ulterior motive? Possibly.

Spurs are better keeping to the tried and tested Deli Alli format rather than the Bale money spunkathon

Sun Sport editor must be a Gooner. That Lewis chap at the Mirror is a big Spurs head, lots of them tabloid fellas probably are.

Exactly what Talksport were saying earlier. I think Cascarino was one of them saying it. Suggesting the timing was a combination of the interests of the player, his agent and whoever is interested in buying him.

Nothing wrong with that. Why we're talking about Spurs is odd. Must be no scraps of speculations anywhere.

We now need a left back, winger and a striker before the window is out.

Evening standard credited us with an interest in Snodgrass.

Can see that being an 11.59pm August 31st move.

Would like it if it's just a loan move, maybe with a small loan fee. No thanks if it's a permanent.

He made a decent impact for Hull in the topflight last year, so I'd say at least one of the recently promoted/ likely relegated sides will take a punt on him.

He's only made the top division in the latter stages of his career, so don't think he'll be looking to take the drop down again so suddenly.  Whereas a younger player with time on his side might chance it.

Not sure that really comes into it any more and it will be a case of where offers them the most money.  He's played for Bruce before so that might factor in.  Read a couple of reports that suggest we will be after a season long loan.     

I would definitely go for him, whether on loan or on a permanent basis.  We need a left winger and also badly need a bit more quality in the side.  He would bring both.

Well he wasn't shite at Hull up till then, and we've already got players being paid more or less that.
