There's a massive contradiction in there which Spurs ought to be made aware of. No £25 million, no deal.

If that's true, and if we can even get £10 million for the two, we should go all out to get Charlie Austin still.
Did I mention Charlie Austin?
Charlie Austin.
Berahino, Austin, Lambert, Rondon.
If they can't fire the goals we need in the Premier League, we ought to give up.

I am confident of completing a deal to buy this:

but am unwilling to meet the £6.5m asking price or live near Harry Redknapp

Amalfitano would be a no from me as well, obviously there was something going on between him and Brunt and we don't need any more divisive characters in the dressing room. He is 30 now as well and yet again I find myself mentioning that we don't need any more 30+ players.
Ideye and Anichebe would both walk into any Championship team, personally I wouldn't sell both as we need 4 strikers if we are going 442 and either would be a capable 4th choice. There is no chance of getting in someone like Austin if we sell both of them because not one of Lambert, Austin, Rondon or Berahino would accept being 4th choice.
A goalkeeper, left back (probably another left-footed centre back), box-to-box central midfielder and a left winger better than McClean are, imo, what Pulis should and seems to be targeting.

Aries, do I get the impression you're a Charlie Austin fan or am I reading the clues incorrectly?

I'm also largely in the no-to-Amalfitano camp. He scored two of the best goals I've seen from an Albion player this century, and we might well have gone down without him that season - I'm not blind to either of those points, and I do appreciate what he contributed to our campaign when he felt like it - but I haven't forgotten the months of him loafing around and sulking between flashes of inspiration; or the photo in a local paper of a training session when Pepe Mel was literally grabbing him by the arm to make him participate, and Morgan was wearing an expression which can only be described as "petulant toddler"; or the flare-up with Brunt in February. His gradual fall from grace at West Ham just illustrates the problem further. He has a ton of attitude for every ounce of talent, and unless you can be damn sure you've got a way to handle that, you're only bringing problems into the dressing room.

Saft you are right of course, just struggling to find somewhere for the staff to live as the West Wing now being decorated.
Seals still stuck trying to get off the roundabout heading away from the ground

I've no idea how you reach that conclusion, Baggieman!

Please please sign all 12.
Spurs's Emmanuel Adebayor, 31, and Manchester United's Javier Hernandez, 27, are two of a dozen strikers West Ham are considering signing. (London Evening Standard) The wide boys pushing season ticket sales again.

A special request for JP:-
Can we now please sign Eva Carneiro as she has clearly fallen foul of Chelsea's beloved 'Special One'
Might result in all remaining season tickets being sold.
