Bale and Ronaldo to Utd in a swap deal for Anderson and Zaha. Well, that's the rumour in my house. And I should know, I made it up. So far, no PL clubs have actually spent any money as the Cuadrado deal seems to be much the same amount as the Schurrle one <yawn>
A very slow deadline day so far, yet Jim White still manages to be wetting himself with uncontrollable excitement about nothing.
So thats why not606 has been a little slow these last few minutes! Its a shame that a player of Benny's severely underrated quality (at his peak) is leaving us in this manner, with a bit of a sour taste, but the events of the last couple of years have probably made it somewhat inevitable.
The media often reported he was training with the youths. He wasn't, he was working with a personal trainer at the old training ground, The Lodge, up to the end of November, basically ostracised from all other players. Sine then he has been on " gardening leave" until today's news of his release.
Sky are now reporting West Ham have bid for Adebayor. They're making it sound like an actual bid has been placed, rather than a loan deal. Based on what I've read, this deal has already been shot down so it's probably Sky trying to keep people watching.
I think, at this point, if we sell or loan Adebayor then we'd be making a mistake. 1 striker on form and 1 really off-form striker for the last 40% of the season? Not a wise move.
I think the Ade move relies on Carlton Cole's move to WBA. Whether it is a good move for us is a moot point, unless Levy, Pochettino and co. really have an ace up their sleeves.
Levy's told Wet Spam to cough up every last penny of his weekly wage or forget loaning him in. Cue speculation he's clearing the deck for a last-minute signing. Capoue turned down a move to West Brom.
