I see a rumour that Spurs have “agreed a four-year deal” with Sevilla for Diego Capel by meeting his buy-out clause of €12m. IF it’s true, he will bring some much needed heft to our left side! I hope this is not more summertime transfer bollocks.

Giovani Dos Santos nearly signed? The Daily Mail, the most reliable source of all has said we’ve signed him and just about every sports website has jumped on that story. Still not convinced, but I think we might get him using a combination of Juande, UEFA Cup football and a place in the first team.

I think Zokora is a solid holding player, contrary to popular opinion. He cost us £8m, wasn’t the best buy but he rarely makes mistakes unless in front of goal and I’ve always seen him as pretty solid. If he doesn’t make it into the Ramos Select XI, I still think he should stay a backup.

Miguel Veloso anyone? Has looked good on the few occasions i’ve seen him play and I believe he’s likely to make the Portugal squad for Euro2008… latest rumours place Bolton (stifles laughter) ahead of Man U in the race to sign him…

In other news, I don’t want to jynx it but Giovani looks a done deal. Another mumbled ‘good signing, mate’ to Comolli if it goes through.

Anelka reminds me too much of Freddie Kanoute, but anyone shy of Sol Campbell I’d take if he’d do us good.

Bagel, whatever happenned to the Gattuso rumors?

I do not think our defense is going to be as poor next season, or at least our defenders. With Leds, Woodgate, Hutton, and Bale to run the show I’m just not too worried. Decent backups in Safety first and Chimbondage wont hurt either, especially since 3 of the 4 starters seem to prefer injury to playing.

That having been said, Our midfield giving it away like a drunk girl on prom night doesnt do us any favors. Modric can help, bale playing mid when he feels like helps, JJ maybe growing up helps, but we’ve been waiting for that awhile. Zokora probably needs to go. Teemu does as well, but that kid worked himself silly for us, with his time wasting penalty one of my favorite highlights from the carling cup final. Aaron Lennon might need to go too. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard the words “flashes of brilliance, but little effect” utterred about this kid. Malbranque might be good enough, or work hard enough. I’m sure Juande knows all this a lot better than we do, but if we didnt talk about it we’d have a pretty boring transfer season.

I’m looking forward to the day when the shelf starts singing Ian Wright, Wright, Wright !!!!

I’d laugh til I macarone’d my pants - then laugh some more !!!!

Interesting how manure’s drunken tramp manager is complaining about the tapping up of the stepover kid - obviously dementia has hit him hard, he cant remember manure using exactly the same tricks to get owen hargreaves !
