Rumour is that we're hijacking the move for Berbatov He's too old, won't fit the new system and, despite his still obvious talent, I just don't want him at the club again. Apparently Van der Vaart has already left Spurs Lodge to head off to Hamburg This is a head/heart thing for me - head says go cos he's too injury prone, have to adjust the system for him etc - heart says don't go as he's probably our best player on his day. Still - if we get a good replacement in then that'll ease the pain.
Welcome on board CJ - Blackburn bleeding Rovers have a better trophy record than us over the past twenty years, it's not acceptable as you say for a club of our (supposed) stature. I am literally hopping mad ATM. Seriously, I did just jump up and down with rage a couple of minutes ago at the thought of what's happened so far this summer. I know there's time for ENIC to repair some of the damage. I'm waiting .... Oh and well said Sidney as usual. What did Keith Burkinshaw say, 'there used to be a football club over there'. Re Harry incidentally, I was neither for or against him leaving. Could see both sides of the debate. I was quite happy to see AVB arrive, and thought we were going to have our own Prague spring, 'The Tottenham summer' , when we got in GS and JV. Alas since then the 'tanks of prudence' have moved in and are now occupying Tottenham High Road. where's me flowers, I think I'll go down there and stick one in their gun turret.
Rafa is on his way to Germany for a medical. gotta be more coming in. as for Berba, is that our last resort?
Your Berba move will be bollocks mate, Fergie obviously said what he said with tongue firmly in cheek!
would love berba back, i disagree he wouldn't fit in the current system i think he would get the best out of player playing off him. (doubt it will happen tho) as for VDV gutted he going but can see why in ways, just hope it works out for the best
The only issue I have with Rafa is that he never seems 100% fit. Disappears in the second half until he is ultimately withdrawn. Still the best finisher at the club though.
I think Berbs could fit in our current system, he can play lone striker. Question is would he be happy as back up?
jenas to sunderland in permanent move comon if we can shift more dead wood maybe a big signing could happen
agreed. and still quality. will genuinely feel sorry for Fulham though if we nick him at the last min. lotta love for BMJ. buckle up lads. moutinho rumoured to be at the lodge at 1pm, according to twitter!!
About 8pm last night, I was really excited for today - possibilities of Lloris and Moutinho and hell, even Llorente (a man can dream right!) Now it's 10:30am today, Van der Vaart's all but gone, Lloris deal looks dead, Moutinho is all but a no-go too and the only player remotely possible today is f***ing Berbatov. Think I'll go back to bed.
you'll regret that comment at 11pm Moorph! players are going out this morning, ready for the arrivals later. we're making sure the outward deals are done, so we're sure of the money we have to spend, IMO.
We could be left in the **** playing that tactic. Luckily I just saw Affellay, Dzagoev, Lloris and Llorente walking down the High road together after leaving the club shop with new shirts, I can only assume they were going to get their names put on the back.
Then you will have less players to pick from as your goalscorers in the prediction league and therefore more chance of getting a point or two.
