    well guys, I do not like the look of this at all. Whatever you think of Stephens, and I am not sure, have not seen him enough, of this I am sure: there is no way that it is part of "Plan A" to sell him three days before the window shuts. or put it another way...you think SCP thinks this is a good idea? Now, 3 days before 31.8?

    And if Solly goes too, well all my worst nightmares, which many scoffed at, are coming to pass.

    That said, looks like neither has happened yet. Lets hold fire unless and until it does.

    A perfect example of a hypocritical football fan. Perfectly OK for us to look at signing players but when a club looks at signing one of ours, then its armeggedon. Every player has a price & I'm sure Powell & any other manager accepts that. Of course selling Stephens isn't part of "plan A", whatever that is but all successful teams will have suiters for their better players & if DS goes, then I trust our scouting network sufficient to bring in a decent replacement. Do you think selling Modric was part of Spurs "plan A"?
    stop shouting, don't think you are reading deep enough into PA's post.

    I'm only commenting on what he said, rather than what I think he means.
  • How dare people post speculation on a thread called Rumours Rumours.

    Disgusted.

    It was on Stephens' wiki page, but has since been removed.

    The thing is, with Stephens our midfield is lightweight.

    Powell and his staff will know this too - but no doubt they can't bring anyone in unless someone goes first.


    Stephens has great technique and an eye for a pass, and is often the fulcrum of our passing game building from the back.

    Powell likes to play him quite deep. In that position, however, I feel we need someone more physical.

    Perhaps Powell feels the same?

    I don't know where to start, and haven't got much time right now, but for now

    1. What part of "transfer window closes 31.8" did you not understand?
    2. Modric leaving has been publically discussed since May

    Unless both clubs allow it to happen alongside the negotiation. I believe this happens quite often..

    Officially ... but we all know how these things work

    "I'm from "so-and-so" club ... but in an unofficial capacity ... would you be interested in £20k over 4 years ... off the record"

    Its been like this for ages here in the UK .. and for decades on the continent

    So you think Modric would have walked out on Spurs if he didn't know what RM were offering him, or Parker to Chelsea?

    not true, if selling Club believes a deal can be agreed they will allow player to speak to the buying Club to agree terms to speed things along. Anyway these days agents are contacted, sounded out, wages agreed etc before bids are put in. Not right but that is how it works. That is why you very rarely see deals fall through on salary issues as it's all done and dusted prior to bids being made.

    Not quite, Bill.

    Seems like the SLP get all their stories from Charlton Life.

    Indeed he is.

    However, IMO, Sullivan is not up to it as a replacement and at Champ level you need 2 decent keepers to push each other.

  • Button coming in doesn't surprise me at all. SCP has already stated that he wants Sullivan to go out on loan and for that to happen we had to sign another GK.
  • Not looking good with tweets like that
