Good morning all. Great news about Bassong and Adebayor. As much as I feel for Dawson and also think he is a quality player, the time is right for him to be sold and £7.5m rising to £10m (approx) epitomises Daniel Levy's sheer ingenuity in brinksmanship and deal brokering.

I'm thrilled we seem to be progressing talks with Leandro. I just hope that we bring in a goalscoring winger (for the right side) and a creative midfielder.

Lloris would be a plus. I have to say as a side though, as much as I feel Friedel is solid, something is narking me about Ba's goal. Is it me, or should a goalkeeper be able to anticipate the likelihood of a curler? And when anticipated, be able to at least get fingers to it? I mean Walker was blocking the hard shot to the near post, so what else was left?

Gomes would have saved it - and there lays the dilema. Yes, occasionally he made errors, however equally he made saves most can't. If we could blend his ability Friedel's temproment then we would be on to a winnerz

Not being able to catch a ball,and generally acting like a complete fuckin idiot, has got nothing to do with temproment,hes a clumsy clown,,, Gomes is an absolute liability,,biggest calamity in the premiership, twice as much of a calamity than what calamity james ever was,, get rid,never want to see him play for us again,,hes cost us so many points in the past that its a complete joke,,

Just don't see it....sorry mate but it's not like Gomes saved every shot he faced....and that was a bit of a belter,started outside the post and came back in,found the only part of the goal that it's practically impossible to cover.
And let's face it, the bad far outweighs the good with Gomes,I don't think the same can be said for brad.

Wasn't it said the other day that after signing Adebayor that we wouldn't need another striker of a similar mould? Surely this rules out Leandro, Llorente etc...

The goal had MUCH more to do with Ba being wide open and having time to shoot because Gallas was late covering him.

He didn't say that. He said Similar bean pole type players. In relation to Carroll being a similar mould to Adebayor as far as this type of player goes.

LD and Llorente are different types of "bean poles"

Ade and Carroll are very different, I don't really understand that comparison.
