Good afternoon.
Since taking over at Queens Park Rangers the back pages have unleashed a cavalcade of potential transfer targets for stone faced supremo.
The Mail among others have suggested that Heurelho Gomes and Steven Peanut are in the mix. Let’s hope this is the case.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly brimming with contempt for Gomes. If you’ll indulge me lapsing into pop psychologist mode, the guy is guilty of nothing more than being a man who is perceived as weak.
You’ve heard the line that ‘goalies are a different breed’? Well that is 100% true. And no more so in the manner in which they are perceived. A goalie makes a howler and no matter how many great saves he makes afterwards, in the subconcious of most people it’s all about simply waiting for him to revisit that state of fiasco.
But your striker. Ah, your striker… No matter how godawful he has been, all he has to do is hit a screamer, shin one in when it’s needed the most and the elevation from bum to born again folk hero takes anywhere between 1.3 and 3.3 seconds (depending upon alcohol consumption of the supporter).
With Peanut I’m equally unhurried to hurl abuse. His problem is that it isn’t his fault we insisted on buying him. The double negative is clue to the daftness of that situation.
Spurs fans seem pretty much split on him. Some see him as a potentially useful squad player. Some see him as being less useful than a marzipan ironing board cover. A few fun seekers are calling it a cheeky bit of business by Levy & Co. Mmmn.
The hope is that we flog them and that their fees can go towards a striker that works. Pav’s agent has recently said that he’s had 4 enquiries him. But these are worthless unless they come anywhere close to THFC’s valuation. One figure being bandied about was a bid of £7M. Utterly pointless in even reporting it. As per rumoured interest to deal on Andrey Arshavin at €8M by some interested parties. He cost twice that.
Defoe’s sale to Liverpool is fantasy. Arry had a gun put to his head as it was over 3MP. It’s only the fact that Adebayor is on a loan that’s keeping him in the Lilywhite as far as Levy & Co are concerned.
Spurs have very few options to realistically raise raise cold hard case this winter and it’s vital that if there’s a whiff of truth in people like Sparky being interested we vend asap.
The alternative is to save a few buttons by loaning them out ala Bentley and J****.
Thats the trouble with red sea pedestrians always want the top dollar available. You can keep em both not good enough .
You’ve got a cracking back four already – haven’t you? :ermm:
Will ave pal dont fret
We ado need someone to buy someone to start the merry-go-round.
As they said on TV the other night…QPR are perceived as having money and we are upping the ante when it comes to value.
Peanut was bought for peanuts and will go for a tidy profit.
I’d like to see some swap deals involving Gomes, Bassong and Peanut.
Swap ’em all for that Adel Taraabt kid, he’s a bag of tricks isn’t he… Hang on…
Chris Samba and a striker please. I wouldn’t mind Azza fucking off too.
Yeah, that’d work, because we always look so good when VDV plays on the right… Hang on…
Why would you want to sell azza? He has scored some important goals this season and his crossong is better. Anyway unlucky we have just opend contract talks with him and i for one am very happy about that!!! :-) COYS!!!
Where I completely agree with your sentiments on Azza I was just wondering what the hell is a Crossong, is that like a french bread???
Haha and i went through that twice to see if there was any mistakes :-/
Isnt it Bassongs angry brother?
Hat-chaaaaa.
I’d like Azza to ram a large cucumber up your……You dick we need Azza to give us balance
Maybe we could throw in Bassong free with any other transfer?
Feel really sorry for Gomes – can’t believe he’s behind Cudicini.
It’s annoying that the one that is most likely to leave, is the one with the most mileage in him. I still think he’s a class act and very much a victim of circumstances as well as a poor and often makeshift defence.
Friedel’s not exactly been blessed with a regular back four in front of him this year either, but (unlike Gomes) he’s delivered the goods. He really won me over this year when he clattered into a post during a game and got up and continued as if nothing had happened. A bird farts on the Seven Sisters Road and Gomes immediately starts signalling to the bench. He may well be one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, but even at 108 I know which of the two I’d rather have in goal.
To put it succinctly: Fuck Man City. Fuck Them Up Their Stupid Asses.
Succinct and subtle too :angel:
nope, dont get it?
