[Update62] Rabbi Crackers re: Hutton/Bentley

[DoublePivot]

Didn't they say last window, after we tried to get Bellamy, that they wouldn't do any business with us?

I would imagine that's out the window with new owners.

 

[TheWaddler]

Yup, proud of it to. It's annoying that there are very see through attempts at ITK which drag down the reputation of ITK as a whole, meaning that good, genuine ITK suffers.

Whilst I agree with you, I think you have picked the wrong thread to fight this particular fight. Rabbi Crackers has had top info in the past, including suggesting Redknapp for Ramos a good month before it happened. I'm not saying this snippet is as good as that was, but he does genuine form, unlike other people who are afforded ITK status.

 

[fazza]

They wern't gonna sell us any of there players so why should we sell them ours, stuff them.

 

[THOWIG]

Throw in Collison I might consider it. Think he has potential.

Who: Rabbi Crackers
Where: FTL
When: 5.23pm

Why would we reduce our squad depth when we are at a crucial stage of the season?

Maybe next season, but I doubt West Ham could afford it as the Chuckle Bros in charge of the Camden Town Bingo Club didn't exactly splash the cash at Birmingham, did they?

surely this link being posted would have sufficed...

I like the way all these Sky bits of "news" end with this type of phrase:

"It remains to be seen if Redknapp would be willing to let the pair move on as he battles to guide Spurs to a top four finish this season".

Their get-out clause when they get it wrong.

That was specifically Duxbury who has now done the Frank Bough.

Throw in Collison I might consider it. Think he has potential.

Yup, lovely player. Noble I rate but he bleeds claret and blue (you should see his nose bleeds). He'd stick with them if they ended up in the Ryman Premier League. Which, if the best signing they can manage is Benni McCarthy... :wink:


On the Rabbi, I've been around long enough to remember him being such a strong source that he was held in the kind of esteem we now lavish upon POTL. He still has those contacts I believe.

For the past few years he's actually taken the piss with a string of made up ITK, which too many of us have taken as gospel but were only ever intended in jest. However, there doesn't seem to be any reason to make this info up, so I'm inclined to go along with it. As was mentioned above, he told us about BAR and when he says something authoritatively I'd always go along with it.

He's good on Fanzone, too. :up:

 

[worcestersauce]

Actually IF we wanted to release Bentley and Hutton and IF they had enough money then West Ham would be a good side to sell them to as they would strengthen their side and as we've already played them twice any effect would be felt by our rivals plus of course they would not be challenging us in the league next season either.
Can't see it though.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

It's the battle of the bungs :lol:

As people have said, i doubt this will happen, unless there's more money available than we realise, or a swap deal is in the offing with Upson or Parker coming this way - considering the chances are we've already got Eidur on the payroll for the rest of the season, Upson is the more likely of the two.

Who knows, wait and see methinks on this one.

 

[tRiKS]

loan to prem deals if they stay up. It would suit us to send on loan to get them playing and thier price up for bids in the summer. I would only want Parker in exchange. I still think crouch is better than claton cole and the noe of the midfield are better than wilson or Hud or Jenas.
