Absolutely not - that's ?8 mill more than Torres. Is that want the Chavs want for him?

[Keef]

Torres was a total bargain though really. What do you think we'd get for him now... Think it would be a hell of a lot more!

Not that I want to sell obviously, but you get my drift.

In today's market...absolutely. You'll soon get to love him. He is pure class. I'd have rather kept him and Keane and Defoe. It seems to me that Spurs, just as we start getting a good squad together we sell our best players. This started with Carrick going to Man Utd a couple of years ago. We're serious danger of becoming a feeder club to the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool. Bah!

[Sandperson]

I hope you are right Jah but we've 'cursed' our fair share of great strikers.

Sorry but that horse has already bolted! :))

Three days to go!

Someone's got to start this off and it might as well be me.

Who was the last player we sold to Liverpool prior to Keane? Ruddock???

[Jah Lush]

You've got me there. I'm stumped for answer.

"We're serious danger of becoming a feeder club to the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool. Bah!"

"Who was the last player we sold to Liverpool prior to Keane? Ruddock???"

It's a sign of improvement - you've actually got some players good enough to interest them. And this is not meant as a dig - every club outside the big 4 will be able to tempt any player at any other Premiership club with the offer of near guaranteed Champions League football.

[bon3yard]

...as for Cole, he was inevitably linked with Spurs today too...I'd love to see him at The Lane. Cole and Wright Philips.

Glad I didn't bother watching any footy last night! Just sat outside a pub smoked far to much, and earnt this minging hangover!!!

[mockney piers]

I'm loving everyone's confidence but I should probably point out that we haven't beaten Wigan at home since 2003 and have lost 3 of the last 4 home fixtures.

We're much better on their turf.
