That, gentlemen, is the sound of the barrel being scraped. Our best option upfront is Alan fucking Smith. Fuck me.

You'd start with Lovenkrands? Why?

All signings are gambles. But we have to take them with the squad we are at. Correct. Fuck me.

If there's not much cash on the go this month then spending most/all of it (apart from the Ben Arfa deal) on Bentley is a bit of a gamble like, it's got to be said.

Agree with Nixon ( ) and wouldn't mind seeing how he does on the left and cutting in. He's got/had a decent eye for goal and a good shot on him. Would also mean we could switch the wingers and/or move Barton infield if need be.

Are Middlesbrough really sponsored by a chain of pawnbrokers?

Don't. That's the type of challenge Bentley will accept! http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3118/motivator08313f31179429.jpg I thought he was black........................ I'm not as exited now, ffs. Who was I thinking of then? http://press.comedycentral.co.uk/files/imagecache/showhub-b-main/2009/05/13/davebensonphillips.jpg Dave Benson Phillips? Name some black gentlemen that play for Spurs? For the life of me, i can't remember who i was thinking of. Kaboul. Defoe. I think i was thinking of Huddlestone. f***ing hell man I blame to much drink last night...... Bet you £100 you're not even old enough to drink. Initials LC yeah?

Fuck me.

He might be a decent buy, and this isn't relevant to how well he plays or anything.......but I've always thought Bentley was an absolute bell-end.

Bentley, Keane and Kranjcar + £25m for Carroll.

If his head is right then it's a good buy. Moving will give him a fresh start and a regular place. As long as the fee and wage are right then it's all good.

I'll be in a better position to judge where we are at 10pm on Wednesday night. Huge week for NUFC coming up.

Well in van Persie.

What are the chances of us actually playing through midfield now the 'lump it to Carroll' option has been taken out of the equation? I know I'm clutching at straws a bit like.

Don't really agree with putting him straight back in and it's harsh on Krul but it's nothing to get too upset about. We'll just have to wait and see how it pans out.

Has Big Sam been seen in the crowd like?

Must admit I'm looking forward to seeing him out there in black and white. I'm not expecting much but if he can run and put himself about for 90 mins then he'll automatically be better than Smith and Guthrie. If he's actually got any football ability then it's a bonus.

All the very best for 2011 chaps. The club comes first.

I think if they can get shot of him permanently then they'll go for that as their Plan A. If no-one's willing to take him then they'll hawk him out on loan. They clearly don't see a future for him down there. especially as arry seems to want to bring in beckham (god knows why would screw up their sides balance) but as it stands they can't add a player due to their squad being full (woodgates not got a place in their side) so i consider it a strong possibility he'll be let out on loan towards windows end when it becomes very clear no one is willing to pay for him Someone (Dave?) hinted at that very plausible scenario happening.

Dead man walking. Shame, he was doing a fine job.

Aye, it's a bit odd that the official Celtic site has 'Attendance: Unknown' for all of their home games. Almost like they're ashamed of it or something...

West Ham is the more important game to win. Wouldn't him play til he was 100% fit regardless though.
