This latest spate of ITK/rumours is very worrying.

We have Ledley and Gallas who are apparently long-term injuries, with VdV possibly having just joined them. There is doubt about Hudd's ankle and Sandro is out. That's five of the 25-man squad - 20% of the playing staff over 21 (27% if you exclude keepers). Yet we are apparently in for older injury-prone players like Parker, Bellamy and Hargreaves.

At this rate we'll need the squad limit to be raised to fifty players just to be able to put a team on the pitch.

If true, Harry has yet to sell a player, even the ones he's bought and sold, for a profit. He lost 6 on Bent, but the sell on fee made that even eventually. It seems that the million we sold Taraabt for is about what we bought him for, but he may eventually make us a profit. He lost a million on Chimbonda, 250k on Gunter, 250 on Dervite, 500k on Boateng, 10 million on Keane, He's released 12 million worth of players but the 7 on Woodgate is understandable. How the fuck did a man who couldn't make money with the only lighter in the Artic get the moniker "wheeler-dealer". He's terrible

Do we know if we have an option to buy Adebayor at the end of his loan? That would be nice as it could add some stability to the squad assuming he gives us a solid season.

Cheers wpd.

I'm now getting worried that Ade, Parker and a cb, will still not be enough.
I'm sure that at the start of this window, all I really wanted was a couple of decent strikers but at the moment, it feels like our squad is falling apart!
This is the lot that got us to the QF's of the CL - What the fuck happened?

I've got as little time for Aitch as the next man, but be fair: it's the Chairman who does the buying and selling. Plus the Keane example is a bad one. We made a profit (8 million?) on the Liverpool sell/buy-back, and got pretty good value from his original fee.

Every deal is different just like buying a house.
It depends on if their initial asking price is met and then they decide thats it or if they want to get into a dutch auction?

A caveat though as football deals are different to any other in the normal world of business!

Do you have any info regards to todays meeting or is that asking too much

we brought taarabt for 250,000 iirc and chimbonda was signed in case we had a injury and needed a player who wouldn't need to settle withe back four un like our LB at the time

Gunter i thought looked pretty good, dervitte looked shit since his injury and boating was wanted by harry iirc

We wouldn't of brought keane had defoe not go injured and bent we made a profit on

You might well be right, wpd. Sorry for being a smart-arse but I've been underwhelmed by pretty much all of today's news.

Thanks for coming up with the info - much appreciated.

Nah its kl dont worrie about it. everyone seems to have diff opinions on parker but i honestly think he will win us the ball in the middle and put some passion bk in the middle and without sandro we lack that atm. plus as he is a spurs fan i hope he is deffo gona try!!! and prove that bentley was a one off!
