Those bids were eye brow raisers to say the least...at the last hour we sling in multi million pound bits left right and centre.

Its a fact we put them in, whats not a fact is the expectation they would be realised in any shape, way or form.

Absolutely right. If they were serious bids, why would we put them in at such a late stage that there was not physically time to complete them. Again, if they were serious bids, how come we didn't go straight back at the end of the window and put in the same or similar bids? Or some sort of bid at least? Can anyone answer that?

Crouch to Everton is believable given links there although it might actually be toffees Everton offer to us rather than cash.

Offer em Crouch, Bentley, Jenas, Hutton, Keane, Defoe for Rodwell.....

Sorts out a number of issues in one swoop!

I've got a couple of mates who are Everton season ticket holders and they feel the same way about Rodwell as most of us feel about Jenas - they would be delighted to get shot, think he's incredibly overrated.

Is this interesting debate really ITK?

As far as I can see there has been one piece so far and we have managed all of these pages...?

I seriously don't get the Rodwell hype. It's almost like a myth. Has anyone actually seen him play football lately? . He's been atrocious and every everton fan I know wants him to be sold.

This is true. And my fault, and the result of a caffeine high.

Give me five minutes.

No and as Jimbo said it's risky.

But this is more in answer to those saying 'well why didn't we just bid 35m in June'. Because that would have been daft...that's why.

What I find interesting is that apparently we almost had Rossi for 18M in the previous summer...Somebody made a major fuck up there.

POTL in reponse to the Mirror story:
Yes were going to sell our only right midfielder at the club and one of the brightest young players in the country to our rivals.

If we take that view, do City feel the same about selling us Ade?

Somebody should ask POTL if there are any developments on the Adebayor front?
