Helicopters & Last Minute Machinations

Good evening crouch potatoes.

This has got to have been one of the funniest windows witnessed in recent seasons. Largely as the big boys have got involved we have some proper comedy opposed to the online religious cult. Bellamy in a helicopter. Benayoun fleeing Israel by unspecified means and David Bentley travelling to Upton Park on a Boris bike.

Begbie is off to Villa is done. Big Eck is creaming himself at the prospect of eventually landing the Generalissimo. Jenas & Crouch are in a holding pattern.I say holding pattern, 3MP did end up in the van and is currently shaking off the aftereffects of some heavy duty sedatives.

What will this trigger? Not much is my prediction. The tangible impact of both departures would be wage bill orientated rather than funding a crazy megabid for a household name.

Killjoy? Pr’aps, but work it out, all we could realistically generate is enough to pay for the Scotty Parker and a yet to be naffed up Cahill deal.

More as I don’t get it.

    Excited … Oh yes, Rossi supposedly at the lane and SkyBet have dropped the odds to 4/5 of him joining. We have lost Crouch so who know, Rossi make sense but looks like Defoe will be on the bench. Also if Bentley goes, we need cover for the right wing so if Kaka arrives, Im gonna come in my knickers !!! Roll on 11pm ….

    • Phil McAvity says:

      Kaka?? Good luck with that one!!

      If you knew anything about gambling, you would know that the odds offered by Skybet are designed to pick the pockets of mental retards.

      Can you bet on him not coming? Ithanku

      • SpurredoninDublin says:

        No. And you can’t bet on him staying put either. You only win if he moves, and you have chosen the right club.

        If you know what an ‘over-round’ book is, then you will understand. Usually the book is 150% over-round or worse, and then you don’t have the chance to back all the options, including the most common, they stay where they are.

        • SpurredoninDublin says:

          I should have added, that as most of the transfer rumours are started by the media and often have no foundation, getting you to bet on a player that is not seeking a move is a “sucker bet” if the player has to both move, and go to the club you are predicting.

          Skybet will never bet on whether a player will still be at their current club by the next window.

    I was watching Sky and a huge refuge truck was leaving the Lodge, then suddenly Bentley, Crouch, Bassong, Jenas Hutton and Wilson are possibly leaving!, co-incidence, I think not

  • Cahill would be a god send, but with Van der vart out hamstrung, another half decent striker would also be needed.

    I have a horrible feeling we’ll get neither.
