and a big thanks to all the ITKs for their time and efforts
And this...even if I have strained their pateince at times with my wanton abuse of other members of the board

Agree with Adebayor, the jury is out for me on Parker if I'm honest. Problem is Parker is a bit injury prone and Ade is a bit moody. If we have got the Ade of 07-08 then I'm very confident that we can make a serious challenge for 4th, if it's the Ade of recent years then I'm a bit worried....
They lost 2 though
Before this thread closes, I would also like to thank all Rob, A&C, Mods & RRs and the SC ITKs for making this TW entertaining.
I won't put any blame on any info from the ITKs that did not bear fruition as this info was not obtained directly from source but through various third parties. Even DL, if reports are correct, did not anticipate Bolton to shift the goalposts, at the last minute, in our bid to secure the deal for Cahill.
And this window makes all those late minute bids at the end of Jan total bull to my mind
I would love to think we are going to switch to a genuine 4231, with players like Modric, VDV, Bale, Kranjcar, lennon, GDS competing for the "3", with Parker and Sandro in the "2", but Redknapp had the players to play this last year and didn't.
I honestly can't see him him taking Modric out of the CM pair.
He'll be looking towards a big deal a year on so won't twat about.
Parker's a risk in the same sense that Woody was.

pretty poor all in all
I understand that some want to be upbeat particularly about not getting Cahill but you only need to look at how many goals we conceded against the 2 Manchester team and that is the defence the we have to look forward to
still between us and the goons for 4th but I think anyone can finish there and scousers may be favourite at this stage, alot may depend on what happens in January but not loking forwardf to going through all this again right now

Still not sure why it made sense not to agree an option to buy fee for him based on this? If he has a great season we'll all want to sign him but wont be able to because he'll be nearing end of contract and commanding a huge signing on fee plus wages - am I missing something...?
It's not the defenders that is the problem, it's the set up of the team in front of them. You could put Cahill into the sides that lost against Man Utd/City and the results would be the same because there was no protection whatsoever from the midfield, particularly in the City game.
Fed up of people blaming solely our defence for that shit.
What's this about Bolton shifting the goalposts at the last minute?
I agree and looking at the squad now..........he has to give GDS a chance on the left or the new guy Falque (haven't seen the guy play) a chance on the right.
Team for me has to be;
----------Gomes----------
----Kaboul-----King------
Walker---------------Bale
-----Parker---Sandro----
--VDV-----Modric----Gio
----------Adebayor-----
