will this be animals mating?

Unfortunately, no

Im going with Mori, Lennon & Juan Munoz. How [Poor language removed] will that be.

Think that would be alright tbh

 

[zaitken]

Is this Juan Munoz any good?

Daily Mirror state Everton are close to agreeing a £4.5M fee with Spurs for the signing of Aaron Lennon.

I wouldn't , never head of him or leandro rodriguez. Just cant see where they will make squad stronger as this is what Martinez said wasn't it ? We will have a stronger squad come the end of the window ?

He's the Juan we need

Young strikers seems to be Martinez's version of Moyes' young goalkeepers.

Distin was finished and Alcaraz was megatosh - Mori is surely an improvement
McGeady out, Lennon in - definitely an improvement

Squad stronger

Juan love, Juan heart, let's get together and feel alright...

Not a bloody clue

Much prefer this to be honest.

That's how we should play it - if we have got a decent pool of cash, we should act like we haven't got a pot to urinate in. In any other walk of life you'd do that. You wouldn't walk in to a Mercedes showroom with a briefcase full of wonga chained to your wrist then try to haggle over the price.

Thats why we used to do the undisclosed bit because nobody knew what was left over. With us announcing all the fees it feels like we have a specific number in mind. All conjecture like but we will see.

Lennon for less than 5 million = bargain. Not even arsed that he's in the last year of his contract and he's been training with the kids.

If we sign Lennon and maybe that Munoz kid today and maybe even sell McGeady, you'd look at our business in the transfer window and it would be:

In

Funes Mori - CB
Deulofeu - RM
Cleverley - CM
Lennon - RM
Rodriguez - ST
Munoz - ST
Holgate - CB
Henen - ST

Out

Distin - CB
Alcaraz - CB
McGeady - RM

Ok, a couple of those "ins" are for the U21s for now, but you'd have to admit that if our objective for the transfer window is to end it in a stronger position than when we started it, we would have achieved that objective.

Having said that, in Pienaar's continued absence (and let's face it, it doesn't look like it'll ever get much better now) we have a real dearth of creativity in midfield and ability to play between the lines. Martinez said before the window even opened that a creative "number 10" player was a priority and if we don't get that player, despite the fact we'll still be stronger than we finished last season, it will feel like a failure of a window.

That one player would make the difference

I've heard Lennon is all but done, delayed because we have been trying to offload McGeady but his wages are a stumbling block. Nothing else on the horizon, though I wouldn't be surprised if we loaned a striker. Apparently Norwich interested in Naismith, he wants a regular start, but I for one would miss him.
