    Doesn't really matter if the funds are used to by hooper, for us the outcome is the same. For what it's worth I never thought holt fitted the Celtic transfer policy either.

    No, nothing official. Just one (extremely) trigger-happy 3rd choice goalkeeper....3rd choice for the time being! :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Nothing about Ruddy going to Chelsea makes sense to me at all. If he was to be 1st choice keeper than I wouldn't blame him for going, but I doubt he will get many game time.

    And surely if Chelsea are looking for another 2nd/3rd choice keeper, they can get someone for cheaper.

    I really need a exciting signing to be announced if Holt leaving is imminent - just to make me a little happier about the situation.

    Can we pass him off as Ruddy? that way we keep the high fee too.

    If he's only ever going to warm the bench, we could charge them for Ruddy, but send Nash once McNally has his hands on Abramovich's oily roubles <ok>

    No one need know...Shhhhh!

    Wiki seem a bit trigger happy too ..

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Nash

    The thing is, he is the perfect choice for number 3 keeper. He fulfils the criteria exactly. He's English and adds to the homegrown player tally. To be fair, he allegedly has a coaching qualification and can help out with the development squad and youth team as well as being 3rd choice if Ruddy or Bunn get injured.

    what worries me is that there are some fans who seem to think signing nash heralds the end of ruddy, that this means he's being sold. i'd love to know what these people are smoking...

    Even more want us to keep hold of Ruddy! Before I got to work this morning a colleague of mine who is a Chelski fan, walked over to my desk earlier and remarked to the person who sits next to me that my Norwich cup is the wrong colour and I'm lucky that it doesn't get smashed to pieces. Well Ard!

    nothing to do with norwich but i think a few gooners might be a bit disappointed to learn that despite the infamous 'sky sources' claiming more than a week ago that arsenal were on the verge of signing gonzalo higuain from real madrid, their president has come out today and said arsenal haven't even made a bid for the player in question! egg on sky's face after they had stories of airport sightings and what-not, but also on all those silly, annoying little twitter accounts who'd claimed a deal was in progress or about to be finalised etc. as is often said, until a player is holding up the shirt of his new club, everything needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. i'd love to see higuain play on these shores though - great player <ok>

    At risk if stealing cromer's thunder as official twitter reporter but ruddy has tweeted from Austria. So people can unclench slightly.

    There has also been some banter between Johnson and Redmond, with Redomond saying that he is doing his preseason here starting tomorrow.

    Wonder if some other are doing the same?

    holt gone no more new strikers in we have rvw and becchio and thats it. we have just committed suicide by not signing a striker before holt leaves now what if we start to have trouble getting strikers in like Liverpool did last season and did not play that good.
