Transfers Anyone?
Comments (8)
Well this last month has almost killed me! Waiting to hear the news, to see a new name across the back of the blue jersey? to see a world-class player enter the blue side of Liverpool. As I have and most other toffee supporters knew it would be a last minute ordeal. Though this time around it wasn?t as mouth watering as previous windows. Moyes made it clear it was to be loan spells, aiming for a striker preferably one that specialised as a lone striker. The other a speedy winger to add to our attack and hoping to give our wings more spice (my thoughts on the right). Waiting for the deadline, was for me disappointing. JO our one signing an unproven, seen to be an overrated striker who fired in Russia, but not in the Premier League. Has scored only 3 goals out of 12 appearances in the EPL and has struggled to make first team Man City who have been relegation strugglers at times. Though this is a bonus for the team and squad, and filling in our striker role (that Cahill has done an unbelievable job and for my mind is just as much a striker as midfielder), I thought a team sitting at 6th place in the league would have more power in bringing in premium players even on loan! Here are some examples:
- Mido on loan to Wigan a proven premier league striker!
- Darren Bent or Campbell from Tottenham who have just signed two more strikers?
- Matt Derbyshire who has taken off to Greece on loan would have made an impact off the bench?.
- Emile Heskey, one of the top strikers in the league at the present.
- James Beattie has bolstered scoring 2 in 3 for Stoke against impressive opponents both who signed for 3.5 million.
As for the wing no signing? yet Jermaine Pennant and Ricardo Quaresma have both signed on loan for their teams both being quality wings, Pennant to Portsmouth?? And the thought of Quaresma in a Tottenham uniform unbearable? though ended with Chelsea.
I do have faith in Moyes and the boys in blue, but I can I only hope we can keep our performances as impressive as recent with this limited squad, keep climbing that ladder and smash that rubbish were against on Wednesday (Thursday my time) and hope we have some extension deals!

We don?t need bodies (we are not a morgue). We need guts and quality. Mido is the type of rubbish we are trying to avoid.
Try to understand... If They Are Not Good Enough For The Top Four, Then They Are Not Coming To Us!
The lower mid-table teams scrapped around a bit, and Man City threw some cash around at over-priced players (with the possible exception of Given).
Plus Frazier Campbell played for Man U at the start of the season, and his loan was a sweetner for Berbatov?s move ? both of which mean we couldn?t get him on loan.
Bent does slightly better for Spurs with 15 in 49! And yes I will concede a very impressive display for Charlton 32 in 68.
Matt Derbyshire 10 in 68 for Blackburn (a few against us though I seem to remember)
Heskey sorry but just no. As for Beattie, something about been there tried that.
Campbell is far from a finished product and far from proven, may make it, but seriously we have Victor (maybe).
Out of all the strikers you have mentioned I am very happy with Jo. Moyes wanted him before, let's see if he can get what he saw out of him.
So it hasn?t worked out for him at City, you only have to look at many strikers where they don?t manage it at one club but do well at another. The name Beattie is springing to mind.
’Heskey’ - fuck-right-off.
Clown.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
