Babel is a confidence player so we haven't really helped him by having a helicopter at the ready outside his house all week.
[/quote]HAHAHAHAHA.
 
Don't understand so many of you on days like these...

We all KNOW that we've got just about a bag of soggy chips and a used rubber johnny to spend on players every transfer window, yet the moaning a) about the quality of player we're sniffing around (dispite the fact that many are better than the incumbent) as a result of having bugger all to spend, or b) the fact that Roy didn't overspend on players he didn't deem better than what we already have is incessent.

Was today really a surprise to anybody? Or the fact that, with approx 10m to spend, it was Cole we were looking at, not some superstar?
 
Fathead Bruce: I tried to sign him (Gyan, 13m) last summer but it wasn't possible.

Like fuck you did.

Liverpool attacker Ryan Babel has dismissed rumours of a move to Tottenham or West Ham, saying he is 'going nowhere'.

So true
[/quote]

Not strictly true. What he actually said was 'going no where'. He's still trying to think of something that rhymes for his next one.
 
Grafite almost went to Everton on loan but they baulked at his wages.

He'd have been worth a loan deal for a year. He scored a boatload for Wolfsburg last year.

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!

We've been after a new striker for 2 years now. And still nothing. FUCK ME!!

I've had it.
[/quote]

So a late deal for Carlton Cole would have saved your day?
[/quote]

I don't know. We desperatly needed a striker, and that has been bleeding obvious for 2 years now. IT's just crazy that we once again are short. Let's pray Babel can rescue his career and score some goals cause we need it.
[/quote]

Well he has played 45 mins so far and he did score a nice goal.
 
I'm sad we didnt get in a good striker, but I'm not unhappy we didnt get Carlton Cole..we already have a battalion of meh strikers on our books.

Might have been different had we sold Kuyt tho.

It has come like a body-blow to me, I really thought we would have two or three options lined up

I honestly think we did but for one reason or another they all fell through : Llorente, Toivenen, Gomez, Pavelyuchenko (according to Redshrek's mate) and Cole. Maybe only Llorente was out of our price bracket and that's why the story went away.

But the fact that nothing happened doesn't mean that we didn't try, mate - The rumours suggest we tried hard with Cole. And Pavly-whateverhisnameis.

We can still 'sign' Freebies, or is it Loan players? The Deadline doesn't apply to one of them.

My Spurs mate crowing that VDV signed on loan to permanent.
[/quote]

Did they get it done ? SSN or was it ESPN were reporting it hadn't gone through in time. Rats !

EDIT : Reports in Spain now say that Tottenham have sneaked through the deal for Van der Vaart. It is far from confirmed at this stage but Spanish radio, and Marca, are now saying he is on his way to White Hart Lane.

We should have had someone nailed on for when our preferred targets failed we had something to fall back on. Bring back fucking Parry
Torres Great
Dirk Average
N'gog and Babel *cries*

With Torres out we must have the worst forward options in the prem, and I am not fucking joking

It is done. he's got a hotline to WHL.
 
I guess it's a signing to build the squad for Spurs, but it's hard to see where he'll end up playing if they stick with 4-4-2. Still, good signing for them for that fee.

In that one is a decent player and the other is Lucas?

Something about Huddleston reminds me of Ray Kennedy (when he was playing obv)
