And also as i highlighted (and i like AH - really not bashing him here) Abel has a track record of being a Serie B - Championship scorer but only getting 5 or 6 top flight. Hope he bucks the trend, like!

As i said, if he returns to the form and player he was before his injury (when he scored 15 in 33 games and some pearlers, I always enjoyed watching him and he deserved his England call up) - and he has 1 in 2 this season after a proper pre season - I think he's a much better option up front as...

Plus Abel always seems very up for ****ing off...

Really?? Wow. Really? If he returns to the form he was in before his injury - and he just scored on his return I think - JR is better for me. He also has a better top flight scoring record than Abel, AH can score 20 in Serie B or the Championship but hasn't scored double figures in a top...

Davis Marshall would be a solid signing, as would Mason and Hendrick. We could do with full back cover though too.

I read the last three pages of this but no mention of the Jay Rodriguez loan deal I just read about - he would be a proper upgrade on hernandez imo

Surely Real Madrid and Inter had to do this too though if Chelsea registered it on 2005? Can't see it being a big deal or scuppering any deal.

Gary Monk is worth a look. Some innovative attacking ideas on a bed of Bruce's defensive work.

To be fair, he's not the first foreign player to have a quite underwhelming first six months while they adjusted to life here and the Premier League - popular examples being Evra and Vidic. I agree they would have sold in summer if the right deal came in, but as someone mentioned he seems to be...

"Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!"

It wasn't just me worried about January then. Still, if we are top three in January and a few get picked off, we would be an attractive club for young, hungry 'potential-rich' players like Clucas and I'm assuming we'd have the transfer fees of Mo or whoever to re-invest for them, plus...

My 'orrible Tower story - mother and daughter. ****s sake. I had that well buried and forgotten. I was 19 and the daughter was late twennies...yolo etc...

Really, nil? What was the big fall out? I thought after he left West Ham, Mo said something like "I would have been signed by a top four club by now if I hadn't been played wide the last few months" and Sam replied with "He lost form in the middle position and didn't kick on from a great first...

I think with around 5 months of higher wages (not a few weeks) and a signing on fee they'd be looking at being better off by a 6 figure sum just 'til the end of the season and then that higher wage is guaranteed for another year or two whereas there is a risk we might not go up at all.
