Morning.
The unmitigated cobblers of transfer speculation had a bucket of ice cold water hurled over it yesterday as Arry revealed that Spurs had not made a single enquiry about Adebayor.
I’ve mixed feelings on the definitive news he won’t be coming to The Lane. His form has gone right off the boil of late no two ways about it, but I do find him a more convincing Premiership option to 3MP. Given a run, he could have done us some good.
Blistering Bob Keane is now in the shop window. Well, sort of in the back, behind some old shop fittings. Actually, he nipped out for a Topic and a Lucozade a few days ago and no one’s too sure where he is.
But the latest is that he might be going to Ajax. And a swap deal for anyone including El Hamdaoui, Gregory van der Wiel, Urby Emanuelson….
I’d say a bookie would give a price on that not dissimilar to the one for Roy Hodgson signing him. PSB has two immediate problems. The first is that he cannot make the Spurs’ first team anymore. The second is that he is not cheap to keep.
Any sale will include the blushes saving, ‘undisclosed fee’ line and he is looking at at least a 50% wage cut. At least.
The answer lies upon the ploughed fields with white lines upon them in Scotland and he really ought grab the opportunity whilst it’s there. Bob still has his supporters. Those hardened few who see beyond his ‘boyhood club’ fiasco and his decay when he eventually returned.
I have no time for the guy. But I don’t hate him and that’s why he ought to go North and salvage some self respect. I haven’t as clue how likely a move to Villa might be, but I just see this as just another potential twist in the PSB death throes.
Aah young Wickham.
I was both impressed and interested in this prospect a year or so ago when his name first cropped up, but someone familiar with Ipswich Town then told me a few months back that Keane “was breaking him”.
Make of that what you will, but I’m less optimistic now.
BMJ has just resigned from Ajax. Sales of baseball caps in Newcastle set to rise I fancy.
And JPS, I’d imagine :-D :-D
I was really enjoying this naturewatch blog and then some bastards had to spoil it by writing about football.
We had a deer in garden this morning. It saw me and ran off but returned later. So that’s a 2 nil win for us then.
That’s a thought.
Mittens on an a venison BBQ.
Well played, sir :shifty: Well played indeed…
Agreed.
Where’s that fit sort with the blonde ringlets in a Barbour?
We would take Keane back. The problem is he is not a centre half and we would need to pay in empty irn bru bottles as we don’t have any decent players to hawk to some russians and italians this window.
Bit of a rum deal all round really.
If I could get him up there with gloves on, would ‘Reserve Goalie’ do the trick?
Please RSVP ASAP. Innit.
I am somewhat stunned at the fall from Grace PSB has had and wonder at its actual cause. According to HR he is training hard keeping a positive attitude etc, etc, so what has he done that’s so wrong as to not even merit a place on a bench when we have so few options for people who can tap-in to an empty goal.
Does anyone know or suspect anything? I recall he was instrumental in taking the guys out on the turps a few times, but if his form diminished that fast will anyone buy him? I can only speculate that he’s done something or said something and perhaps doing a Roy Keane in being a stubborn Irishman, refusing to back down or apologise.
He has to go of course, but I do question not playing him in a few of our games when a fresh approach up front might have taken a few more points.
Scott Parker is a worry for me, I was not impressed last time I watched him, in fact Luis Boa Morte was far busier and reminded me a bit of Wilson when in form.
Poor Chris Hughton, what a bunch of losers the Geordies are. This is the sort of decision that will get them relegated and if they do, good riddance. PSB to Jol’s Toon Army anyone?
I feel sorry for Chris. He is a spurs legend. And a good bloke. Probably to nice for management in the top flight though.
