Anything to these Luis Henrique rumours?
he's been linked to everyone in the past week or so.

Apparently, Spuds are in for Diaby. He wants champions league football. I reckon he’d get 2 games max.

Why would you let Johnson go to the sign Diaby. Spurs have enough attacking options they need a midfield.

I'd love his pace back in our side, but don't think we'll be in for him.

We've been linked with Henrique before he went to Inter I'm sure.

Diaby is miles better, for one.

I can't even believe it's a question. They're on different planets.

Are they? Diaby had amazing pace, but missed a lot of chances and was very quiet for a few months. Johnson scored the winner in the Europa final and generally had a decent scoring record.  Diaby is probably a bit better, but not so much as to make a huge difference at Spurs with what they've got.

Someone suggested that we were recalling Nedelkovic: is he still on loan and has a recall been made?

Bild are reporting we're favourites to bring in Danilho Doekhi, Bogarde's cousin from Union Berlin. We were linked with him earlier in the month and his contract ends in June so should be cheap or on a free in the summer.

If we have any money left to spend, it needs to go on right back cover.  If something happens to Cash, we're in trouble, and he's going to be knackered in by April if we run him into the ground every game.

Bogarde is not a right back, he's a good central midfielder.  Putting him at right back weakens two positions.

Yes. Yes they are.

It might have been credited to Johnson, but that was because UEFA didn't want the worst goal ever scored to win a final to be credited as an OG.
