    19 days until our first pre-season friendly. Hopefully we'll sign one or two players by then.

    Are people excited about the prospect of Moses?

    I'm unsure. Like most, he'll play better with better players around him so maybe he would be decent for a nice fee.

    Cannot wait for the new season.

    When does pre-season training begin? 6th of July isn't it?

    He had a decent tournament but England set up like underdogs. We know he can play that disciplined role in the big games.

    Amazed with how quiet everything has been lately. Can't see us being that active this summer..

    I think we will be active. We definitely need to be if we are to stand a chance of getting higher up the league

    Isn't it always quiet on transfer front during major tournaments? Transfer activity will pick up now for sure. I'm sure you guys will make quite a few transfers I wouldn't worry about the lack of activity now.

    I'm a bit torn about this. Yes we need to replace some of the out going players and we do need more quality up front but too much chopping and changing won't help the team either.

    We've had about 3 summers in a row now where we've had massive changes each time and it seems to have hindered us more than helped.

    I definitely agree with you on that, but the quality of players we've bought in isn't going to be good enough to get us back up there. If we compare our squads to the other top teams we're languishing well behind really and are really going to struggle this season if we don't add some better quality. There's rumours circulating on twitter that Levy is in America to get investment from a mega-rich US consortium for Spurs. If that is true they will spend heavily too

    Reina must be a great team mate to have. Sounds hilarious.

    I'll be hugely disappointed if we don't sign a striker and winger at least this window.

    We need a CM too.

    Tbh I think I'm more concerned about the manager getting the most out of our players. Bar a couple of months*, our players have underperformed for the last 3 years imo. We've seen flashes of brilliance but not for a sustained period. Think it's a case of the right tactics and giving the players the confidence they need, something we've been missing in conjunction with each other for some time now.

    In German, but looks like he'll sign for a PL club by the end of the week, just need some finalising to do. Didn't state which PL club though, but most likely spurs.
