Just to clarify - Parker IS NOT 5/6 to be a Spud - he is 5/6 to be a Spud IF we sell him and that's a very big if..................

My team for the start of the season at present would be;

.............................Green...............................
Faubert.....Upson...Da Costa......Illunga
.............................Parker.............................
..................Benrami.......Hittz......................
Barrera..............................................LBM....
..............................Cole.................................

Subs;

GK (whoever!)
Ben Haim
Daprela
Noble
Diamanti
Dyer
Piquionne

That still leaves Tomkins, Collison, Benni and Junior to come into the team at any given point.

Parker IS NOT a spurs fan - not sure where that rumour comes from. He has never, to my knowledge, EVER expressed any comments of Tottscum loyalty.

For all your 'expertise' CH, sometimes you miss the simplest things.
35,000 paying on average £40 per ticket = £1.4m
50,000 paying on avergae £30 per ticket = £1.5m
No real differecne you say.........
So when you go to a game, you clearly don't;
Buy a programme
Buy any food or refreshment
Visit the club shop
Purchase something from the club shop
SPEND ANY MONEY WHATSOEVER!

It's not just the gate receipts that make the club money..........

Any one else think that the squad is still a little unbalanced?
Where's the new CH we need?
Who's playing down the left wing?
Who's covering for Greeno when he ineviatbly throws one in?

I'm delighted that we could soon have 4 quality strikers at the club - Cole, Remy. Sulejmani and Benni (as well as Hines) but you can't win every game 5-4!

Chris - abandon ANY hopes of Euro football next year. That is not the target and beside we have far too much distance to make up with Villa, Everton and Fulham who i think will occupy the Euro League spots behind the top 6 of Citeh, Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelski and Spuds.
The target for this year just has to be a mid table finish - (10th would be great!)with a decent cup run. If we can achieve that then we can grow from there - look at what can be achieved at places like Stoke. No one wanted to go there 2 years ago and now they can attract quality players due to their top flight position and stability. We are and always will be a bigger club than Stoke but we NEED 2 years of solid league position to cement our reputation.

According to Newsnow, we've got more fingers in more transfer pies than i can keep up with.

in no particular order;
Loic Remy - new bid made and accepted. Nice want Liverpool to match or beat the offer otherwise he is on his way to the Boleyn. PLEASE GOD LET IT HAPPEN!
Miralem Sulejmani - offer made for 1yr loan. Player wants to come but blocked by club mgmt. IF JOL MOVES TO FULHAM AND REMY FALLS THROUGH THIS COULD BE BACK ON?
Francois Clerc - done deal by all accounts. Free transfer on a Bosman for the French international RB - YES!!!!!!!! Is this the end of Spector?
Milton Caraglio - further reports that a £5m move has been agreed AND completed! Little known about him - either a very shrewd move or a complete mistake!?
Tal Ben Haim - all gone quiet on the Isreali front - alleged inability to agree personal terms look like scuppering the deal.

So - 2 more strikers due to join the club and a much needed RB - that would make 31 pros at the club with a squad size limited to 25 by PL rules - looks like 6 players at least would have to leave...........

Great post SJ - i think you are bang on the money! Get the deal done and we may have a half decent season to look forward to.
If the deal does fall through then Eduardo is a defo NO NO - 27, never recovered from injury and even when fit, never completed a full season.
I think Matt Derbyshire would be a better bet - he never got a fair look in at Blackburn, scored goals for fun when coming off the bench, is still young and could be available for as little as £4-5m.

Old, slow, expensive, looking for a final pay off - are you mad?

Chris - Hines is a great prospect but no more than that. He could do a job for a middle to lower PL team but if we aspire to be more than this then we need to buy better players. Every one talks about how well hines did at the start of the season - indeed he was excellent against Liverpool BUT my abiding memory of that game is of Hines hitting the post when he SHOULD have scored.

Another mystery solved, just Shergar, Lord Lucan and Area 51 to go.........

Good luck CH (Reece Bateman doesn't sound particularly Celtic?!), i think you will need it!
