I like Big Mick's idea of Tuncay as cover for Torres and would also like to propose Downing... proven Premiership player... there was talk of Spurs putting a bid in for the pair in the region of £18m... I think that is reasonable value for two decent players who would add depth to the squad and the team.

i dont think Tuncay has the phsyical attributes to cover Torres because I think that in that lone striker role you need a player strong, quick and athletic and Tuncay is certainly not a physical player. Of course we already have a player like that in Babel but unless he gets his head together and fullfils some of his potential it'll be another season of frustration for us all at the big Dutchman, unless he gets shipped out somewhere else.

Downing is out injured until Christmas, otherwise I would have been all for it. However in January he will be available at a cut price I would imagine. It all depends where we are then I suppose.

We definitely need a CB and a striker. Has anyone heard anything regarding Arby as things are suddenly so quiet....If Alonso stays, does this mean Arby is staying also?

I really hope Johnson isn't our only big money signing, we need a striker and a winger.

I don't think we're done in the transfer market yet this summer, but in answer to the thread opener I'm not overly enthusiastic about our business so far.

Pennant has gone on a free as expected and we got a few million for Leto which I suppose is alright.  The only major deal obviously is Johnson for an extortionate fee of 17 mil (which I think everyone can admit is over the odds).

I hope Johnson is as good as Mick and a few others think he is, I really do.  My gut feeling though is that we'll get poor value for money and while he'll look good against the also rans in the league, defensively he'll cost us in the big games.  Hopefully he'll prove me wrong though and I'll give the lad a chance to prove himself before writing him off.

The speculation over the futures of Mascherano and Alonso has for me put a real dampener on this transfer window and we still have not had either player come out and tell us they're staying.  I also think that it's essential that we bring in another striker because when Torres doesn't play we're really stuck for options, we have to do something about that in this window and it's been very quiet on that front so far.

For me the main positive is that our rivals seem to be struggling to strengthen too.  Valencia and Owen are no Ronaldo and Tevez, while Chelsea have not really strengthened and Arsenal have added Vermailen, a good centre half by most accounts but unproven in the Premiership.  City will be stronger, but they still haven't sorted their defence or the wide positions which were their weaknesses last season, their squad is completely unbalanced at the moment and I can't see them challenging for the title.

Benitez said no more big money signings but that doesn't mean nobody else will come to the club. That could mean we will sign players of Riera's quality.

Real Madrid Receive €20million Offer For Negredo From Premier League Club - Report

An unidentified English club has submitted a bid for Alvaro Negredo, but the smart money is on Liverpool or Tottenham...

11 Jul 2009 20:03:39



Alvaro Negredo has started training with Real Madrid, but it remains unlikely that he will still be at the club next season.

Los Merengues have exercised their buy-back option to bring him back from Almeria, but it seems their intention is still to sell him on.

According to AS, the club has just received an offer of around €20million for Negredo from an unnamed English club. Liverpool are interested in the striker, and Madrid are trying to include him in the deal for Xabi Alonso.

Tottenham have also expressed an interest in the past.

However, Negredo has options in Spain too, with Valencia, Villarreal and Sevilla all considering making a move if and when they lose one of their strikers.

Negredo was also reported to be a target for Porto recently.
