David Icke - Son of God Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 This is brilliant news, well done to everybody who sent him messages and cards because I think that will have played a massive part in making him feel welcome and in turn getting him to sign. what bout the get well balloons I sent him? Too far. Nearly scared him off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 It's not a negative spin ffs. Just saying, this deal wasn't meant to happen until the summer (if it happened). We've brought it forward, so remember that in the summer. I would assume that we've used the earmarked money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Only annoying this about this is that every time I mention him my lass exclaims "Ben Arfah!" in a mock East End accent and it got old very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no guarantee first of all that we were gonna sign him at the end of the season, and even if there is nobody knows whether this is money taken from end season kitty or just Ashley deciding to be a bit more generous in January (without affecting the end of season funds) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The money is either January money, Uncle Mike Surprise Gift or Already Earmarked Summer Money. The only bad scenario is the first one actually, because it means we've got less to work with to strengthen in this window. The 2nd scenario would be great but unlikely. The 3rd scenario is one that doesn't change anything anyway because the money was already spent. By postulating it was the 3rd scenario I think Dave was trying to cheer us up actually.

summerof69 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 :indi: Class signing, not just because he is a good player but because i think he will improve other players in my opinion. He has the inteligence and movement to help Tiote when it seems no one is making themselves available and Carroll will be forced to up his game imo with some of the balls HBA will be playing for him.

Actually first scenario is not too bad provided we have a bit more money for a striker. If we had 10M to spend in January, think a lot of posters would want us to get HBA now and 5M for another striker rather than risk losing him after the loan ends. Maybe I'm not being fair to Dave, it's just that I noticed a lot of his recent posts have been quite negative, just not used to that coz I usually find his posts interesting and think that he is generally an intelligent chap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm too lazy to search but i remember one guy having a breakdown over his pro-longed loan signing stating that Marseilles are treating us as fools - it was quite something, but this permanant deal was wrapped up particularly fast. Absolutely great signing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
