Is Simon Dawkins worth bringing back from the MLS to give us another option up front?

As an MLS fan - no. Kane on recall would be significantly better. Dawkins was good for San Jose but he'll never be enough for a top half Prem team.

Was this part of Levy's termination contract with Harry? "Next job you get, you must take out rubbish with you". Excellent business. Massive saving on wages-spunk it all on a new forward!

If we manage to sell Huddlestone, Jenas and Bentley - that is a massive lift off our wage bill? Also it has to open options to bring in another player?

Jasper on SOD says

Regardless of what AVB says in public we are still trying for a striker out of 3/4 options, the problem is our method and terms for obvious reasons as we ideally want loans with view to summer permanents, and unless something different has happened Diame's people are pushing him goons way as his first choice, but we still trying on that one. Couple more options which are loan options.

Who really knows what will happen, and BTW there is truth in Son (cant see it) and Negredo. We inquired about Hooper with a aim to find out what their price would be and no movement there. Love a big surprise but cannot see it at all.

It seems that Hudd would rather another club than Fulham, but let us see.

The biggest question is this: Does Daniel Levy think it is important to purchase a striker? If he doesn't, then tomorrow will be uneventful. Has there been any contact with Del Nido about Negredo? He is the only one that can really help us, in my opinion.

My fear is a last minute push for Hooper, like we did for Adams two years ago.

Well this is it for me for 24h! Going to keep away from everything football related and actually try to do a days work tomorrow. Going to the cinema as soon as I get home to watch the Hobbit wich ends at about 23.50 CET so that should cover it!

We need a striker badly...the Leeds and Norwich game really highlighted that

Some one who can attack the ball in the air...we got crosses flying in with Defoe as target...

DL is clearing the decks as he says we have a lack of money. The boys to QPR are going cheaper than cheap and are better than what they have. H can trust them apparently!

Now there is 2 ways to look at the clearing the decks scenario:
1. We genuinely are skint and have to balance the books as we have no money as DL keeps saying?
2.He is clearing the decks for an impending arrival or arrivals?

You go with whatever you want for tomorrow depending on what floats your boat, or if you are a glass half full or half empty....

I'm keeping schtum as i honestly dont know at this point in time!!

Why isn't there a "****ing love" rating? Seriously - pull this off and get us a striker to go with Holtby and this will be one of our best windows for years.

Make the striker Negredo or someone of similar quality, add in one upgrade of a CM to replace those outgoing, and it is a bloody great window. Icing on the cake, a winger/wide forward maybe in on loan with Falque and Townsend out on loan, and I fancy us to really kick on.
The BAE/Perreira thing is the one I see being the shock move of the day now, for some reason I just think it is not as far fetched as some may think. I like and rate BAE, but if there is an issue between him and AVB, maybe makes sense. AVB had Perreira at Porto, and tried to buy him at Chelsea, so maybe if we can't give him Moutinho, he can at least have another former favourite.

That's it now, transfer window fever has got me. I'm getting f.all work done tomorrow, gonna have to play some serious catchup Friday. Best take my phone charger to work tomorrow for when I cant do any stealth f5ing at my desk.

Shame that Gomes doesn't appear to be joining them but more than happy that those 3 are offski. Looking forward to seeing what Daniel delivers.
