I'd rather Diarra than Parker, given the choice. Although we do seem to have an adundance of central midfielders.

I'd rather we spunked the money on a goal scorer though all the same!

i'm with you 1000% with that one but for some absurd reason we are chasing Parker, i.e. a midfielder, hence if we are gonna get a midfielder we dont really need then I would rather it be Diarra than Parker. VDV could and would be our number 10!

What I like about VDV is that he has been a consitent goal scorer from midfield. He has in 187 games in Germany and Spain scored 60 goals (1 in 3.12 games). None of our midfield even come close to that ratio......

That's because the majority of them have been playing in the "Lampard position" having two midfielders behind holding, and allowing him to get into the box. None of our midfielders have the opportunity to do this because we have always played with two strikers.

Apparently he was driven into the lodge with around 4 minutes to go. Enough time to sign? I'm sure it is when you know your only chance of first team football is to accept this deal within a few minutes.

I believe we will have him but permanent or loan? Who knows?!

Is it just a kidnapping?

we have to be looking to the 5 man midfield, any one of our strikers can play in front of that, but not two that are misfiring because then we are struggling to score.

Think we tried this one but I also think we tried fab so you have to question our ability to get deals over the line

Redknapp has confirmed the deal - still waiting for Premier League ratification.

Nice.
