Mornin’. This is left field to put it mildly.

The Guardian were running with Arry’s interest in Rio a while back. Tottingham supremo Arry revealed he had made several efforts to land @rioferdy5 but to no avail.

Now since Sir Alex’s audacious Phil Jones swoop the story has come back with avengence. Alan Brazil said yesterday that he believed Arry was very close to getting his man.

I think this would be a historic. It would actually be addressing a football issue head on and finally acknowledging our back four can’t carry on being a revolving door of bit part players.

I’ve banged the drum on this before so I’ll be brief. Van der Sar isn’t the world’s greatest goalie as some might see him as. He’s good, but the defenses in front of him before foreign and domestic are top notch. This is one of the key elements that separates one keeper from another.

A direct consequence of this now looks to be poor old Gomes sloping off with his tail between his legs.

We have got a striker problem and it’s wonderfully exciting imagining how cool a shiny new striker would look running about in the afterglow of scoring goal upon goal, but we’ve a back four problem too.

Let’s hope this happens.

    Lots of things do indeed add up about this.. But why would he want to leave Utd and accept a pay-cut?
    Would welcome this signing, but just cannee see it

    Rio would be a vital member of our medical staff we have the knee plus groin King Woodgate back and whole body Bale jnr back Lennon no impact groins. We have a brand new medical centre on the way he must come to help Spurs to get King out for vital games like Utd did.

    I don’t know about you guys, but Im getting sick and tired of Modric saying all this BS about the transfer window closing on Aug 31st so there’s enough time for a move…It seems like he wants to go now, so maybe we should just cash in now and give ourselves time to get a replacement…He needs to be upfront with us, not deciding to up sticks and move in the 11th hour leaving us with no time to find any replacements…Just like a certain Bulgarian RAT who smelt his way to MANURE….
