Will you just stop talking balls for once. Seriously. Stop it!

I dont get what he said that was wrong, krancjar did go for what we paid for the greek didnt he ?

No, what he's saying is basically insinuating that Benitez knows about these players, yet sits on his ar$e and isn't bothered going for them. Again, it's just nothing but complete conjecture, yet it's hailed as some sort of fact. If I could list the players we should have gotten (according to my opinion) down the years, then it would be some seriously very long list, but it doesn't mean to say that any of those players would have been any good for us. It's all alegory.

Where ?

If thats the case is he weird ?
They already have Defoe, Crouch Keane and Pavlyuchenco.
We have a permanently injured Torres, Kuyt and Ngog.

Where would he more than likely get a game ?

West Ham were poised to solve their striker crisis last night by signing Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan from Monaco.


The 31-year-old Icelandic marksman has snubbed an 11th hour move by Liver­pool and is expected to fly into England tonight to seal the four month loan deal.

The Merseyside giants tried to hijack Gudjohnsen's move by matching his personal terms that were thrashed out with the Hammers late on Friday.

But the ex- Barcelona and Chelsea star was keen to link up with Gianfranco Zola and Steve Clarke, his old friends at Stamford Bridge.

The Hammer's had made a £2million bid for Blackburn's Benni McCarthy, but pulled out of the deal on Thursday when Rovers said they would not entertain a bid until they had found a replacement.

So thats from the Sunday mirror is it ?

If that is the case and not tabloid blag then he must be mad.

This is a bit different though, as we are in a terrible position financially these days so players that are of good quality that we see rival premiership clubs taking them, well its only right to question why we havent gone for them.
Krancjar is definately one of those players.

How do you know we aren't ?

I dont know.

But we are being linked with full backs and meanwhile a proven premiership striker has just moved on loan to a rival for our top 4 position.

Agent " laters rafa lad ,i'll get back to yer"

Agent " Hello Harry Eidur is available on loan ,do you fancy him "

Harry "sure how much bruvver "

Agent £80 , 000 a week "

Harry " farrrk me that'e abit steep ,but i'll have a word "

5mins later

Harry " Hello agent , the board said yes"

Agent " ok mate i'll put it to Eidur , he has another offer "

Agent to Eidur " Right Eidur mate , Liverpool have offered £40 grand a week ,but rafa looks like he's gonna get the sack any minute and they havent got a pot to P!ss in" oR " there's spurs , they've offered £80 grand a week and there looking to invest in players all the time ,there going places lash new stadium the lot"

Unless the manager is instructed by the MD, ie Purslow that he doesnt have money to spend. Who says he matched the Hammers price?? is that the best we can do? Doesnt sound right, I´d say we didnt even bid.

he's gone to West Ham, what's that got to do with us? I'm guessing Rafa's been a bad lad for 'letting' West Ham sign him ???

We should have signed Ronaldo as well, he would have joined us if we tried to sign him :angry:
