Lee Ryder had three steak bakes for his lunch today

We've signed Lionel Messi and appointed Skirge as a coach. Quiet day.

I swear one of those 'Ameobi going nowhere' / 'Ameobi keen to fight for place' articles spring up every 4 months or so.

There's only one person getting Rodgered in this situation and it's Brendan, courtesy of the Fenway Sports Group.

Hopefully we'll now leave this deal alone until deadline day and focus on Debuchy, Anita, Douglas and Good if we're still looking to get him. EDIT: Not that I want him anywhere near myself, but if the club actually want to get him that's what would be best

Reading from the Big Book of Redknapp's Law

I reckon a draw to complete our set of results so far. Probably 1-1, an equaliser coming from Sherla.

fucking hell look at the kite on him

I love Shola and I always will

It lacks the McBeefaz factor.

It was called the Coca Cola Cup by Pardew last season

As if they found a wetsuit big enough for Derek 'The Bulldog' Wright.

No more Lee Dickhead? Get the fuck in.

The best Carroll moment from last season was when Gary Caldwell skinned him to score the winner at Anfield for Wigan. It was fucking hilarious.

Apparently this is a picture of him realising the date. http://i.imgur.com/wyRgJ.gif

I love our bids

The thread title

I bet I could find posts in a similar vein about Ba in a similar amount of games. Not saying Elliot is nailed on to do anything but this place can be terrible for jumping on a player after a very limited viewing. Elliot's 'shockers' have come against sides around the level he was performing well at, personally feel he needs a lot more breathing space before we decide he isn't good enough as was the case with a few others that were very harshly judged and have since come good. He's a goalkeeper though. One injury/suspension to Krul and he won't have that, he'll be pitched in and expected to be able to perform as a Premier League keeper. I'm very concerned by the admittedly limited performances I've seen from Elliot. I'd be happier if Harper/a new signing was to be our bench keeper and Elliot could go out on loan and develop a bit more. He's nowhere near good enough to play in the top division currently, IMO.

There's a pattern lately that once players have settled they look like astute signings, Elliot could well manage it. From what I've seen though (and that isn't much, but about as much as anyone else will have) he looks a long way below what our bench keeper should be at.

I saw the Forest cup game, the reserve game against Swansea(?) where he shipped 3 and also have seen the Chemnitzer goal. There's not a lot else for me to go on but he looks every inch the lower league goalie.

We'll get him.

Having just watched most of the game, Bigirimana and Tavernier look to be outstanding prospects. Sammy, Vuckic and Abeid aren't far behind. Harper also looks more agile and a better keeper than that pillock we signed from Charlton, despite being about 15 years his senior.

Just get his wages off the books, and maybe put him in the shop window for someone else. As discussed before, which club exactly is going to be able to pay all of his wages?

The supposed reason Rodgers wants shot is because Carroll doesn't fit the style, as opposed to him needing to regain form elsewhere. Therefore, unless the loan deal was for a year with an agreed transfer at the end of it whilst the buying club got the finances together for the fee, what point is there in loaning him out?
