I heard it in Marca. I've only heard of Diamé as some Premiership clubs were interested in signing him earlier in the season.

Wolves sign Scott Sinclair on loan.

Burnley finally sign Fernando Guerrero.

I meant Wigan

Guerrero could turn out to be a brilliant deal for Burnley, i watched him in pre season for Burnley and he looked class but then again the opposition was shit so time will tell.

Both Burnley and Wigan have spent with caution so far this summer but made so decent signings. I just think Burnley need a few more in to improve their chances of staying up.

Hull have signed Atildore on a season long loan from Villarreal.

Bassong bound for The Lane

We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Newcastle United for the transfer of Sebastien Bassong to the Club, following the player successfully completing a medical examination and agreeing personal terms.

The defender moved to St James' Park in July 2008 from Metz where he made 79 appearances in three seasons.

The 23-year-old played 34 times for Newcastle last season in his debut campaign in the Premier League.

Do you rate him? He's someone who has a mistake or two in him from what ive seen.

He's very good. Would have liked him at Arsnal. Fits in with the YBQ policy.

He's deffo a bit Rash, but our CB's were lacking a bit of speed/athleticism with King out and he was Newcy's standout performer last season.

£8m possibly rising to £12m with add-ons, not bad.

Bastards shelled out £8m, £4m more you could have signed Klass Jan Huntelaar!!!

Surprised Redknapp didn't go for Kaboul instead

Spurs spending up to £27m for the summer, they have spent pretty well with it tbh.

Spurs have good depth at the back with Woodgate, King, Bassong, Dawson for centre back, Corluka, McNoughton, Chimbonda, Hutton at right back (surley one of them will leave ) and Bale and Assou-Ekotto at left back. All they need to do is get a new left back and there defence will be very solid. I guess Bale isnt terrible...but he is a jinx.

It's Spurs Goater...their defence is never solid!

If they could re-sign Carrick then they'd have a pretty sorted and well able team. I think they need someone who can offer someone from central midfield assuming Modric is going to continue cutting in from the left.

Bale is fantastically talented & athletic, he just can't defend for shit, like how Glen Johnson was 3-4 years ago. I don't want to let him go like Chelsea did to Johnson 'cos when he does develop someone will have an excellent attacking LB on their hands, maybe loaning him to a lower mid-table EPL club would do him good.

Maybe Palocios might do it although he isnt a total DM i guess.

Im surprised Bentley hasnt been sold !

The UNIT + the P-UNIT is where the future of our future CM lies...

Hopefully.

Huddlestone and Jenas once had potential but now it's clear they're players for a much smaller team.

Well did he want to come?
There's also a matter of Bassong only asking for one fourth of Huntelaar wages (that's where the real money in football is, not transfer fees) and that we don't need a striker but certainly needed a centre back.

Send him to Hull, everybody wants to see them go down

i.e Wigan, Bolton, stoke... teams that are only in the EPL just to survive. Pompey were a decent side for the most part with Johnson there.

I mentioned this at the end of last season, but the Premier League has gotten to a stage where nearly half the division now fall under the "happy to survive" banner:

CL 4
Europa 4 (City, Villa, Everton, Spurs)
----------------------------------------------
West Ham
Sunderland with their new money
Fulham (their squad is not looking in great shape so Hodgson has a tough job on his hands
----------------------------------------------
Bolton
Stoke
Wigan
Hull
Blackburn
Portsmouth
3 promoted sides

Do people forget where Wigan finished last season?

I hope Hull go down, can't stand them.

Fulham are awesome, Kas clearly has no clue

Er, 11th. Equal with Stoke on 45 pts. I think they fit in the 'happy to survive' camp

Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn might have outside hopes of a European spot, but realistically that's about right.
