Patience is a virtue they say
Not always at the forefront, though,
Of the minds of fans and other good folk
Who follow transfers, blow by blow
Manoeuvring transfer pitfalls
Is worse than the Hampton Court maze,
Not paying too much, but getting your man
Is an art in itself these days
And I dare say, behind the scenes
Much work is continuing apace,
To bring any number of names so far linked
Our way, so they´re quickly in place
Not leaking any ´pre-news`
Is good, and how it should be done,
The `Redknapp Manual of Transfer Business´
Is definitely one to shun
But like several others on here
With barely a month now to go,
Before we entertain Pardew and his flock
I´m hoping our squad soon will grow
And also some of our dead wood
Would be very nice to offload,
So that the picture becomes clearer still
Both at Colney and Carrow Road
The ´Wolfkin´ does here, spring to mind
But Lafferty and Hooper too,
As some who seem unlikely to play much part
When the season restarts anew
So still much then, apparently
To be organised, here and there,
If we´re to be sharp on Neil´s PL debut
And not get an opening day scare. OTBC - INIT
