Tomorrow is the day we finally free up a certain area of our wage bill that has been wasted for the last 4 years. Jenas and Bentley should finally leave. Townsend on loan too. Thanks Arry!
The Townsend one I can see happening, although I'll be gutted if we loan him out and don't get another winger in. Jenas and Bentley though? Maybe he might fancy a punt on Bentley given that QPR will set up rather differently to us but I'd still be surprised and frankly gobsmacked if he goes for an injury prone Jenas after he failed at Forest.
Harry seems to be going for quantity over quality! Maybe he thinks if he can play a different team every week, they won't suffer from fatigue, and will pick up points towards the end of the season! haha
Jenas, Bentley, Huddlestone and Townsend out in one day, with Livermore still being linked with a loan, too? Levy playing his game again, it seems.
Potentially big news regarding Moutinho (f*ck knows if we're even still trying for him, but nevertheless...) They have tonight announced that they have bought the 15% rights to Moutinho which were previously owned by 3rd person groups. This means he is now 100% Porto's player, and would make any sale a lot easier to complete from our point of view. That is, of course, providing we still even want him. The ship may well have sailed.
Deals for Diame, Moutinho, Willian and NEW STRIKER all fall through at the end of the window leaving us ****ed If it's true we've got rid of those players then I'd be shocked if we're not straight in for Diame. If ever there was a move that had Levy written all over it, it's signing Diame cheap and on deadline day.
The twits are out in force, putting 2 & 2 together and looking for every link possible with our previous managers and current out of favour players, hoping to fluke a transfer and claim they are ITK........law of averages they will get one right....(this window or in the summer). As for Moutinho, Porto are asking for near to 24 million? Levy has just pushed forward a deal to bring in a midfielder for 1.5 million, so if he parts with 24 million for a midfielder on transfer deadline day then it would be the biggest shock since he arrived in terms of transfer deals. Also Dembele, Moutinho, Parker, Sandro & Holtby, plus Dempsey & SIggy all on the wage bill, while still having high earners as Jenas & Bentley? ....Redknapp isn't a big fan of Bentley so to bring in an injury prone slow winger would seem strange.
Wow. Negredo. Everton. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21271211 If this happens, and we don't get a striker, I shall be pissed!
QPR want Bentley!!! No, I'm not joking!!! @SkySportsNews: Sky sources: QPR interested in signing Tottenham midfielder David Bentley #skydeadlineday
Apparently QPR want 3 of our players and obviously there's Fulham who want hudd - and possibly Livermore too. Jeez, if we shift out those early today, sorting the wage bill out, who knows what might happen. Especially if these ownership rights have been sorted with moutinho
And so it begins!!! Rumours of Everton bidding for Negredo is a bit annoying for me. I really hope that if Negredo leaves Sevilla, it's for us! As some have already mentioned, Harry looks like he's doing us a massive favour if the links with Jenas and Bentley are true (plus the loan for Andros - great move for him to get some Prem game time). I'm still expecting just the one in, praying it'll be Negredo or someone on par/ better. MAYBE a new CM when/ if Hudd does go. Diame? At £3.5 it's definite value for money. Expecting Gomes, Hudd, Jenas, Bentley and one or two loans out.
maybe Negredo has been a smoke screen as we're going back in for Damiao? LOL harry in for Bentley and Jenas... it's like Levy's paying him on the side to help us out! I'll be annoyed if we let townsend go out, he's the only other pacey winger we have. We'll completely lose our shape if lennon and/or bale get injured. Dempsey and Sig are not the correct men for our style if they are put on the left or right, respectively. I reckon we could see 2 or 3, but it'll all depend on who we can get rid of. Striker and Diame, then possibly 1 other surprise. optimistic!
looks like Danny Graham will be going to Middlesborough... Jenas and Bentley medicals at QPR! great start!
To be honest mate I get the feeling AVB doesn't entirely rate Townsend, or at least have confidence enough yet to be making him back up for Lennon/ Bale. Sigurdsson and/ or Dempsey have either come on for the likes of Lennon OR started when we've rested either of the wingers. I would love for Andros to have more of a chance but so far, he's only featured off the bench about 4 or 5 times and hasn't played too much in the cups either and for somene of his age, he needs more time on the pitch for his development, hopefully QPR will give him that. I'd be chuffed to bits with a top striker and Diame. Fryers, Holtby, Diame & [insert striker name here] would be a successful window for the club for sure.
If Everton get Negredo to go with Jelavic (another one we should have been in for at that price) then they'll deserve 4th when they get it.
Oooh! All of this outward activity gives me Moutinho hope. Letting Harry go is now looking like a masterplan on Levy's part.
