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.

    For Crouch and Palacios we will get +- 16 million +2.5 million from Keane 3.5m + O’Hara 5m less Parker 6m. That is 18.5m. We also have funds in reserve. So what crap is your indication that we can’t afford Cahill?

    • Benspur says:

      Not we can’t afford. Valuations also not completely different. Personal terms are too sticky. Sorry to be bearer of bad news. Wait, though.

      It’s too simplistic to assume players leaving = money to spend on new players, if players don’t ask for move they trouser about 10% of the fee plus you end up paying them bonus’s etc to go.

      we’ve left it too late by the look of it and if we get rid of bassong without getting cahill, we’ll be short of defenders in no time

    they say stoke in talks with A.Johnson,i’d snap him up if he was going

    they gave us adebayor,why not johnson

  • Totspurs says:

    Out – Bassong/Palacios/Dos santos/Hutton/Crouch/Bently/O’Hara/Jenas

    and all we have spent is £5 million on Parker and Adebayour on loan wtf where is all our money we should have about £80mil to sign……

  • LLL says:

    Oh well. Keeping hold of Modric will be like signing a new player. A sulky, disruptive one who doesn’t want to play for us :ermm:

  • Benspur says:

    No Cahill (boo) and no berbarat (hooray).

    However, one signing may surprise you all. About 9.30 – 10. Tonight.

    Live you all.
