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.
The summer gamble on the strikers failed. Harry wanted a striker in the summer but the club refused and we are losing points as a result of that choice and now all see our failing strikers and will hold us to ransom in January. Does anyone expect to see Spurs admitting the mistake and paying through the nose for a striker in January as a result?
So unless we have another VDV like surprise the most likely is no striker or a teenage prospect. How long will our midfield stars stay happy while all their hard work is wasted by those in front of them?
Perhaps if Redknapp hadn’t spent over £30m+ on cack strikers in the first place, Levy might have been a bit more willing to loosen the purse strings in the summer.
I’m praying they have one or two lined up this window. :angel:
I havent seen any animals this morning save the freaking cat which drives me flaming hairy. And it takes a lot for me to get flaming hairy …. guess that means the score will be 1-1-1
I think I saw a small stoat whilst walking my daughter to school this morning – but it might have been Peter Beardsley.
My teabag inclined slightly to the left this morning (first cup you understand) – that’s a sure sign of 4-1 to the Yids with Sgt Wilson nicking one of them
GLORY DAYS
“I’m Jake the Peg, deedle eedle eedle um,
With my extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um.
Wherever I go through rain and snow,
The people always let me know”
wouldn’t it be great if we had a three legged player and that xtra leg had a little trolley wheel thing on it, thing how quickly they’d go through defences …. as long as there were no divots of course
