Good morning ladies.
Forgive the brash approach so early in the day, but just what is the delay with our transfer activity? Levy & Co assured us that the perception that we do all our business in the last fifteen minutes of the window was an inaccurate one.
Whilst elsewhere, Liverpool are firing at will. Stoke want watching. Yanited aren’t mucking about. Chelsea will soon be going through the gears. Where are we?
The striker targets so far appear to be as nailed on as wet Sellotape. Admittedly we’ve brought in Brad Friedel, but seeing the snap of him in training yesterday he looked like an extra from the Addams Family.
Meanwhile we’re trying to get another 50p for Begbie.
If the market worth of Begbie, PSB and others has been reassessed and they are now more keenly priced, then let’s sell them. I can imagine what the hold up is though. Their agents. The likes of J**** are sitting pretty on a contract with gawd knows how many years left to go on it. Suddenly Blackburn or whoever come in and offer him the opportunity of a lifetime to take a pay cut and go and live in a northern toilet.
Players who aren’t likely to advance the cause need to have it made perfectly clear that barring an act of God they won’t be in the first team anytime soon. We see almost daily what vain and delicate little creatures footballers are. Name and shame them.
‘SSN understands that PSB has two years remaining on his contract and is unprepared to move and take a pay cut. Sources close to THFC told us, “We’d take £1 for him to get his wages off the books but the knacker simply refuses to shift.”‘
Super Roman Crazypavinchenko needs to stay but we cannot afford another season of hoping that Defoe finds his mojo and 3MP goes out of football and into Panto.
Is that we’re waiting to see if Arry gets Porridge? Is it that we need a Director of Football opposed to a hesitant cockney? Given the total absence of better ideas I was actually coming around to the idea of Scott Parker. But given the outbreak of WWIII between the two clubs even that non event looks unlikely.
Stop stalling Spurs, I really feel that this window is beginning to pass you by.
Frustrating that we have not bought anyone yet, or shifted any of the deadwood but IF we keep our key players, we only need to buy 2-3 top players to make a real difference.
Would be nice to do it before the start of the season as we did with Modric, to give them time to bed in.
Looks like our neighbours could be losing some of their better players. Shame!
the bloated squad and tied up working capital that it contains has been the issue holding us back for nearly two years now in terms of really moving forward.
we either need some mug punters or to take a hit on the sale fees.
Woodgate’s gone now as has o’hara so there’s 100k a week freed up, amazing how much we’re paying/paid out in wages/fees for players who are in fact a bit shit and/or no real use to us
This is the real problem. We clearly need to sell, so let’s start selling. If it’s true that Levy really wants more than 10 million for kranjcar, he’s absolutely off his rocker. He can’t have his cake and eat it too. I’m as big a fan of Levy as anyone, but his focus on price over value has on occasion cost us dear over the few seasons.
According to some of the wags on the internet, Jimmy Krankie was the missing link that caused our loss of CL & reason no. 2,386 for Harry’s sacking. Maybe DL just read all that and thought ‘Wow, he must be worth some big money then!’.
I reckon he’s probably trying to get back toward the £7m that was touted by the scousers. Will probably go for around £6-£7m which would still be good business.
Keep taking the tablets
We have missed out on Adam, Cruise Missile dodged. Early houses in the Merseyside region share prices go through the roof
I thought we were going to sack Redknapp for buying Adam… Or the ‘plinth’ Adam as he was known… As the deal was nailed on in ITK circles, along with that bloke from Birmingham?
:whistle:
Seriously, Adam is made for Liverpool. Chavy dirty player to replace Gerrard. Souuuuuund aye aye aye. Glad we missed that one, hope we have enough in the tank to avoid some of the others being slung at us.
Press guff is, and always will be, press guff.
As long as we don’t take hargreaves on a free! We’ve only just got rid of one crocked player!
Oh come on, Hargreves is a dream Harry signing, cheap, free, wrong side of 30, crock, triffic..
that’s what scares me! Harry will say he saw his you tube clip and he’s a triffic player :-(
International, loads of experience, winner, hes a bargain on a free! triffic. Followed closely by Upson. Id have loved Hargreaves before his injury problems, is a real shame he was a real talent. Hope someone takes a chance on him for a year.
best english midfielder by a big margin when fit, thought he might be worth a punt if we had enough glue in the medical room
there’s plenty of players we could melt down for glue…
Best English midfielder? Based on what? His over-inflated reputation bears scant relation to his actual achievements if you ask me.
