The Happy Rumour Mill (Takeover bids, transfer talks etc) Part 2

Tottenham could be about to sign Van Der Vaart on loan.

 

Either him or Hleb on loan would have been useful for us.

 

Why? We needed a striker.

[Toddler]

Just heard the chimes of six o'clock on the news next door...no new striker for us then! (not til January anyway)

[Toddler]

Presumably Redknapp will sign van der vaart some time this evening and swear blind the fax was sent before six - not that he's corrupt or anything!

[fowler9]

fucks sake

[redfromtubebar]

Why? We needed a striker.

 

I agree, but our squad is paper thin and especially short on quality outside the starting eleven so either of them would have been a nice addition to the squad.

[Carra_is_legend]

Some deals actually get done before the deadline but announced later.

 

Not saying we have signed someone but saying like....

[mht1892]

another day of disappointment.

 

what a wank club we are.

[RedEagle]

So, can English clubs sign nobody now?

Or can we still sign players from foreign leagues?

If so, why are Sky making out these foreign deals have been done on "the wire"?

[mht1892]

Also all the people who claim to be "in the know" are full of shite.

[seven of eleven]

what a boring window it started so well and ended bad.

[JaminKibbler]

Fulham have had the best 'luck' in this transfer window.

 

On another note, Meireles and Konchesky + (around) 4 million for Mascherano is a great deal. Hopefully sending out Insua might get him used to first team football, who knows, he could come back a new player.

Insua doesn't have a contract past next year, he'll leave for free.

Do you know that for sure, people seem convinced otherwise and I can't find anything one way or the other?

[Torvald Utne]

Pennant gone to Stoke along with Gudjohnsen.

[Trucker Paddy]

Insua doesn't have a contract past next year, he'll leave for free.

 

Theres confusion over this 1 mate, i'm told he has at least 2 years possibly 3, apparently there was a renogotian that sliupped under the radar when he broke into the 1st team regularly which involved an extention

[paddyberger15]

Another window, another profit, another 10 pounds of Horseshit in a 5 pound bag. Welcome to LFC 2010.

At least this time when Purslow comes out and says "we've had the usual transfer budget" he wont actually be lying, we've had fuck all, like we've had for the last 4 windows.

No new stadium, no proper investment and over 3 times more in debt than we ever were before these bastards arrived.

Well done Moores you stuttering, bed wetting, depressed cunt.

[Randy Marsh]

Shocking that it's been glaringly obvious to everyone with a hole in their arse for the past 12months that we are in dire need of a striker to back up Nando, yet here we are stuck with only 2 recognised strikers for the next 4 months atleast. Why on earth was a striker not made fuckin priority in this window? Why have we spent money on Konchesky and Jones when a striker is quite clearly a more pressing need to us?

 

Torres NEEDS quality back up. Look at his first season, Rafa slated for his "rotation" of him but he didn't have one injury all year. It's no coincidence that his fitness has plummeted with our lack of striking options. He has been overplayed, but that's because we have fuck all else to step in. Ngog works hard and scores goals, but when we don't create many chances (which tends to be most of the time) he has little else to offer and cannot make something from nothing. I fully expect another season of patchy fitness from Nando now because it's looking 99% sure that he's not going to have the partner/back up that he needs.

 

It's a fuckin disgrace, as is fuckin usual from this club.

[shaunstrudwick]

very fucked off that:

 

1. Fulham have now had 3 decent 'propects' off us now

2. no new attacking additions today

3. the owners never came through on their promise of £12m for new players for Roy

4. yet another window passes where the yanks have made a profit

[Il Fenomeno]

If that's true then it's not such a bad deal, if he plays well next season it gives Hodgson or whoever money to play with, because I can't see him making it in the PL so might aswell loan him out to see if he can impress a few clubs and get us a decent fee next season.

[shaunstrudwick]

what's the betting that there will be another ownership story out there by the end of the week as the yanks try to PR their way out of failing to stump up the necessary cash for yet another window

 

fuck i'm depressed :(

We can't even register the full 17 foreign players. That's how much the squad has been trimmed. We get close if!

 

Agger

Aurelio

Babel

El Zhar ——> may still go on loan to Panathinaikos

Itandje ——> not welcome at club

Jovanovic

Kyrgiakos

Kuyt

Lucas

Maxi

Meireles

Plessis ——> may still go on loan to Panathinaikos

Poulsen

Reina

Skrtel

Torres

[redfromtubebar]

To not sign a new striker this summer is pretty much a disaster. It should have been the number one priority.

 

The yanks didn't put up the money, which surprises nobody, but surely Hodgson could have found somebody that we could have got in on loan or on a freebie? Past Torres and Ngog, there really is fuck all now.

[Randy Marsh]

I'm convinced we make these "enquiries" this late on purpose. We know full well that it's too late to make the deal happen, but atleast it looks like we are doing something to all the mugs out there. Fuckin bollocks.

Jovanovic is a striker

 

Torres

Kuyt

Jovanovic

Ngog

Pacheco

 

the problem is the same problem: Joe Cole, Torres & Gerrard are the only creative forces in the squad

 

hopefully Merieles can add another dimension just as Alonso did - but for a club of our size and stature the squad just doesn't have the required strength in depth :(
