Shame the transfer window isn't closer to Christmas we could have all asked Santa for the same thing.

Surely one of us has been good enough Eek

A&C there was also bugsdad's bet with BC. They had a wager of £100 donation to SC late last night because bugsdad heard some info that made him certain Adebayor would be signing on loan.


Some guy on SO tried to make a similar £150 bet with another poster on there too:shrug:

That has to be my first mention on your daily Archie.

You turn me on a little.

Hope we'll see some movement over the next few days now.

So it seems there are some very confident people thinking we are going to complete the loan sigining of Adebayor, how very intriguing and encouraging!

I actually have quite a bit of work to do today so it would be typical if it all kicked off.

However I STILL don't see much happening on the horizon. Other than maybe Friedel I think it's pretty clear we won't see any new players in the starting XI for the Everton game now which is disappointing but possibly to be expected.

I'm resigned to cheering on Crouchy and Defoe when we play Everton. COYS!!

It would be funny if they played a stormer and we kept them :grin:

Or just internet BS. It's not as if some anonymous poster making a bet on a forum can be forced to pay up. For all we know it could be some gooner with an account on SC and SO.

Obviously they may well know something we don't, and have every right to be confident.

My point is there is no reason to get excited just yet.

They're finally bringing you down aren't they. It's pretty clear that there's no way we can know if they'll be new players or not by the Everton game. It's still 9 days away and much like it only takes a second to score a goal, it also only takes a second to complete a transfer if we've been working on one for X amount of time over the last few weeks.

Keep the faith. But by all means kill Bon Jovi.

My point is more that even if we did sign someone this weekend I don't know if they'd be ready to go straight into the team.

I don't think Diarra and Adebayor have had much in the way of pre-season action so I'm not sure their fitness levels would be up to starting next weekend. And other than those two I'm not sure we're too close to much else in the way of incomings.

Hope I'm wrong though.

I'm trying not to think this (it's like my last resort mental crutch, for use in an emergency) but their results last term were well below their average performances, so we might well expect an above average return this time. Regression to the mean, and all that.

Also Harry does seem to bed players in with a couple of cameo sub appearances before they start games. I can only think of Wilson going straight in the first team under Redknapp.

No new news on Samba but after the Daily Fail headline of Spurs offer £6m + Bassong for Samba Roger Morgan posted ...

"I think it's more like Bassong and £4m."

Dunno if posted but Benzema isn't coming here...

"My place is at this club," Benzema told L'Equipe. "I have never talked to Mr Wenger or anyone else. I want to enjoy success here. I have found my self-belief. This season, I know we will win titles."
