Must say will be annoyed if Tottenham manage to hold onto Kane. Man City going out of their way to fuck us over for a player they don't need but not fucking over one of our rivals for a player that they do.

Citeh have openly admitted they are still trying to get Kane.

Yeah, I saw this last night - slaphead saying that they are interested in him? Surely to fuck that is blatant tapping up? It isn't that much different to Dolly saying 'there's a player that wants to join us' in direct reference to James Beattie, surely?

The tapping up rule has only ever been applied to us.

It goes on all the time I expect but I was under the impression we got pinged because sugarbags was the only manager daft enough to say something on camera in an interview.

[cdbearsfan]

There are probably loads of examples of other managers doing the same and facing zero punishment.

Yep and Pep looked very sheepish in trying to disguise his disappointment that they mostly paid for Grealish with the money they won last season and missed out on Messi in the process…and I don’t believe a word that they won’t be pursuing Messi still (he’s got form for lying through his teeth with regards to their transfer business activity).

Anything less than a Europa league place will see Deano shown the door sadly. I suppose there might be some kind of concession for losing the player we don’t speak of, but we can’t be arsing about in 10th if we want to kick on and attract even better players next summer

[robbo1874]

Europa league spot has to be this season’s target, although anywhere 6th- 10th will be progress. Tough ask though- likely that Man City, Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leicester will be around top 5. Hat still leaves some serious competition for 6th.

We could win one of the cups! (run and hides.)

Well, it is our year for the FA Cup this time.

[robbo1874]

I’d take finishing 17th for an FA Cup win

Not for me. We have to be seen to be progressing up the league table with the amount of investment the owners have put in. It goes without saying that winning a domestic trophy would be absolutely amazing. Its been far too long for a club of our stature. 25 years and counting.

[VILLA MOLE]

Top 10 and a cup please

[ADVILLAFAN]

Can see us finishing above Barca and Inter

[Drummond]

If we can win the scruffy games we can finish top six with ease. I keep saying it, but our lack of an "Oh shit, not him" player coming on for the last twenty minutes has always hampered us. Traore and Ings will fit the role nicely.

I can well imagine El Ghazi and Ings combining for goals. AEG pinging shots in from all over and Ings feeding on the scraps.

We've got strength in depth up front at last!
