Be still my beating heart. Oh I see, it has.
The sheer overdose of inertia pulsating through my veins has caused me to flatline. As longstanding readers will know of course, a goldfish with cerebal palsy could write this blog, so you’ll be unsurprized I can continue to type.
PSB in exchange for Aston Villa’s very own John ‘Star Man’ Carew*.
As theorectical deals for the next window go this would have to a considered a ‘goer’. Pointless Shouty Bloke has been linked with Aston Villa since he was a foetus. Add to this he hasn’t run away to join anyone’s circus for months now and you’re looking at a winning combo of transfer rumour.
St Gerard of Houllier has blazed a trail of draws and losses only interupted by the odd victory since he returned to the Premership. He inherited a squad that supposedly cost the same as ours yet achieved even less. It was only a matter of time before the splat of bathwater rapidly followed by the thud, wah, whaaahh of a baby landing on the Villa Park cobbles was heard.
John Carew. A thin brochure. Described a ‘bigger than me or you’ and and having a turning arc similar to that of a very, very large ship such as the Queen Elizabeth 2.
When it came to being linked with strikers – not so long ago it was the Horse Whisperer and the Wardrobe On Wheels. Then no one at all. Now it’s Carew. I smell decline. The new stadium is an elaborate hoax and Levy has secretly a hatched a plan to merge with the Pikeys and all play happily ever after under the name Athletico Stratford.
Women, children and Hotspur first. Let me through, I’m a first aider.
BIOYC!

Oh Harold,
look what you have done,
you should never have eaten that sticky bun
The Carew deal is a good one. PSB is worth 2 bob and has lost any potential to be effective. Carew, on the other hand, is a great big lump who can be effective, as he is a great big lump.
You may not have noticed, but most fancy dan European sides, are unable to cope with great big lumps, particularly if we have some excellent ball players around at the same time.
Carew is a classic spurs player. Can hardly believe we haven’t bought him already. Almost as frequent a gout-afflictee as Anderton or King.
Still, in my opinion he would be an upgrade on Crouch. His goalscoring prowess is unfortunately similarly underwhelming. However, his flick ons are generally far better than 3MP’s, as is his all-round holdup play. He possesses the genuine physical strength that Peter lacks, as well as a fair turn of pace (once he gets moving). He is also an accomplished solo striker, having spearheaded Norway’s 4-5-1 for years. He is getting a bit long in the tooth, unfortunately, and probably only has 2-3 years left at the highest level.
Honestly, I’d love to see him as a back up to whichever world-class striker we buy in January (fingers crossed). Out with Keane and Crouch. Strike force of Crazypaving, JD, Star Man and (what the hell, why not) Suarez. Plenty of options for Harry whether we play with one or two strikers.
Yeah, yeah I know… Dream on.
Many streams on myp2p for tonight’s game if anyone interested?!
Shame on you. TV-theif.
:-D
Bit more gravy plz darling
Terrible disrespect for what was a fantastic footballer in Robbie Keane. I’m ashamed to be associated with such fans. He gave us so many good performances for many years.
So did Sol. What is your point?
