    This is starting to really hack me off! For Christ's sake Tony IF Palacios HAS signed I say STUFF the clearence crap and TELL US! YES or NO.

    Bendtner who the hell knows but, WE said this last week. T.P. WHY do YOU ALWAYS leave things to the last minute?:headbang:

    Smither's who said we will end up with those player's NO other clubs are interested in...
    Hargreaves would have been a fantastic signing for us.. We could end up with er..

    didley squat TONY sort it out please.

    Swervy,

    To misquote from Richard III - but hopefully appropriate:

    Now is the transfer window of our discontent.
    Perchance made glorious summer by this son of Newport

    Completely different to what he said the other day about wanting Crouch to stay. As long as we get 1 of him or Bendtner i'll be happy, Bendtner ideally, but I don't either will sign.

    Feeling is that the Crouch deal may still prove a bit rich for interested clubs. Saw off Stoke interest. #fb

    Sunderland have bidded for Crouch, around about £10m. They think that's a bit short.

    According to Homzy on Twitter, a deal with Spurs was agreed for Crouch and a deal with Crouch was also agreed, he just had to make his mind up.

    Too many conflicting stories to make any sense. The only thing to do is to wait until 11pm tomorrow, but it's just too hard!

    I am now getting nervous and a tad confused.

    1. I assume Palacious has signed
    2. Crouch seems unlikely
    3. One minute 'Arry says Crouch is staying at Spurs then today says they are overloaded with strikers
    4. QPR are sizing up an £11m bid for Crouch (seems rather a lot to me)
    5. Bendtner rumours have been quiet until today!
    6. Lukalu loan scuppered due to FA rules!
    7. Any news on SWP?
    8. Blackburn have agreed £5m fee for Scot Dann - not that we need him but Brum were asking £12m when we were sniffing.

    TP is supposedly still hopeful of bringing in 4-5 new signings before window closes. WP is one - who the hell else is coming?
    I will be disappointed if WP is the only new face, if so we could struggle.

    Sunderland's bid for Crouch rejected. Parker hands in transfer request, therefore waving his loyalty bonus, which should hurry up his transfer to Spurs, which will hopefully hurry up the Palacios deal for us.

    Proud Potter..

    YOU are not the only stoke fan who is brassed off mate..

    Typical Pulis, I've just heard on twitter that.. there is a problem with Peter Crouch's "Loyalty bonus" WTF does that mean?

    ALL seem to be waiting for the BEST wages they can get. In short, we KNOW T.P. won't break that cap so why not just forget it and move on.


    OFF topic.

    Anyone else having problems logging onto this site? Just spend an age and it say's "Site error's we are sorry" Or is it just me..

    SSN say Parker likely to sign tonight for Spurs following his transfer request so hopefully our long, long wait for Palacios isn't far away.

    Am I stupid for asking but....

    WHY would Parker going to Spurs make ANY difference to STOKE signing Wilson P?? Don't tell me W.P. hasn't signed yet <yikes>

    Sky Sports News ran a story earlier saying Spurs put a block on Palacios signing while they were negotiating with West Ham over Parker, so it would seem that once Parker (seemingly Palacios' replacement) signs for Spurs, Palacios will finally be announced.

    I reckon he has been signed since Saturday, since Palacios told Stoke fans that it was done. Obviously Spurs told us not to finalise it until they had a replacement.

    Spinks on TalkSport just and apparently he said the Crouch deal is 99% dead.

    Crouch is too much money and too old! Invest in someone who wants to improve their career, not see it out!
