Quiet couple of days rumour-wise since the Austin deal fell through.

I don't see Bendtner coming myself. Deal collapsed at Frankfurt because he wanted big smackers, don't see why we should scrape and scramble like crazy to satisfy his inflated demands.

It would be a different story if he bagged a bit more and wasn't a weirdo though.

Getting tricky, this striker lark.

Not to mention his recent criminal conviction Party. Can't be having his sort at our club.

But the main reason to avoid is that he couldn't finish his dinner the useless get
 
Did a great job for sunderland and denmark in the euro's though but yeh if we had him we would probably still need someone to be a bit more of a poacher
 
Did I just hear that miserable bugger on Sky Sports News, Karmeh Solakol or however his name is spelt, mention that we're interested in the Steaua Bucharest GK?
I was too busy thinking "Crack a smile, you're more miserable than Andy Murray!"
 
They have to be looking at multiple people.

Well, they don't. Judging by the article in the HDM today, he can't wait for Fryatt and Aluko to return, so I'm guessing they're going to be playing a fair amount next season (we didn't expect anything less).

There'll be targets, but they have to be able to compete at PL level and finding players of that calibre isn't easy. I think we'll see a bid for Bendtner come in, whether that's a loan or a permanent remains to be seen. We'll almost certainly see a couple of foreigners (Amalfitano?) come to us, but Bruce doesn't have the same scouts that he had at his other clubs. That said, somebody from the club was watching Izet Hajorvic so I guess we have a fairly wide scouting network nowadays.

Was it Ciprian Tătărușanu? If so, he's pretty good, but he'd fetch a fair fee if he's not out of contract and he'd be behind Alan McGregor when really he'd be looking to be a #1 somewhere.
 
Heard rumours of both Bendtner and Romanian goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu (SSN), both good players who will improve the team but can't see Ciprian coming in as number 2
 
Just seen Bendtner's name in the HDM Transfer Talk section, really hope we do go for him. He could do a very similar job to what marlon king did for us.

On No please No. His move to a german team has fallen through today so i guess its just paper talk - hopefully ?

The lack of rumors is a little strange. Normally there is a hint of who is being targeted.

As it should be. Only when the ink is dry imo.


O/T Ince has turned Cardiff down according to Sky website.

Yes he has. Cardiff not happy about it. Staying at Blackpool for now. Maybe Liverpool will take him back ?
 
Our odds have shortened to 10 on signing Dirk Kuyt on oddschecker.

No No No. We want vibrant youth Not dithering oldies thank you very much. <whistle>

I wouldn't be surprised to see him at Liverpool - they wanted him when he was at Fulham before Spurs snook in.

Not @ £100k a week they wont. Unless of course Spurs just allow him to go and i dont see that either.

I think the silence @ Hull City is the calm before the storm. ;)


As for Burnley they get what they deserve. Glad they need the money but where has all there PL money gone i ask - Offshore maybe ? :shocked: It will be annoying to see Austin leave for less than £2m and surely for that we would take a punt. ;)
