My theory

We get hooper, sell remy, get Austin and sell Mackie.

Now we have Aj and Zamora as a tandem and have hooper and Austin.

We just need to offload Barton, Adel and traore. Assuming bosingwa is gone we are left with a quality team that we can be proud of! And still have money to sign one more key player.

Personally I think Granero is going to be our gem this year!

A few others are tipping him for a big season too. The playmaker to replace Adel perhaps...with Henry/Barton as his minder

[qpr]

I too think Granero would be really good if he stays

[mkoss22]

I just have a hard time understanding how fans support Adel and Armand when they leave the ground while game is still being played. If Tom Brady did that he would be black listed from every nfl team. Is this normal behavior?

[Rebel R's]

I hope we keep Remy,Austin is a decent player but not in the same league

[gaza09]

Tom who?

In a word 'no'.

Trouble is he has too many apologists. He also knows he's by far the most naturally gifted player at the club and has relied on that to get him out of trouble on countless occasions. It's all caught up with him now though as Harry has finally lost patience with him.

You have to admit, this hooper signing makes things exciting again, like last summer. I would love to keep remy but my money is on Newcastle getting him and us using that money for our boy at spurs!

I'd like to think the same about Granero as he's a superb footballer but I'm not sure he'll enjoy the blood & thunder style of the ccc where most games are battles & not won tactically.

As I said a while back he's the right player at the wrong club. Personal opinion.

From what I've seen so far, I think Ale is going to be back to his old self this season.
