Any of them deals go through before the deadline last night?

We're way too good for him. Davis, Mills and MacFadzean would rip him to shreds in training.

Won't be surprised if he won't be able to get in your team.

I have a feeling this Eisfeld fellow is Rosicky's future replacement.

Let's hope that doesn't mean he'll be on the treatment table as much as Rosicky's been.

Good transfer btw, but I'm guessing you will go for DDR on a free in summer?

Dwayne De Rosario won't be available on a free until December.

He's being referred to as DDR in America?

Rosicky is his idol apparently, so maybe he can learn from him first hand.

Why did I think this was the Arsenal thread?

I'd be happy if we got DDR. I never thought he'd leave Roma though, may do as he's not signed a contract yet.

Edson Buddle --> Los Angeles. Confirmed

Corluka and Bassong out, Nelsen in. Again, I don't get it.

Nelsen - God among men

I don't get that at all

He's old as furk though.

Not to mention he was only good enough to appear once for a bottom 3 team this year.

Again, both were demanding regular football. So we shipped them out and got someone in that won't play and is happy to warm the bench.....

For quite some time now

Corluka and Bassong are shit, and Luongo requested someone who he could make fun of.

Well that makes sense (srs)

Been injured hasn't he? With a knee injury.

Corluka wanted 1st team football on a regular basis because of the Euro's. He weren't getting in ahead of Walker so wanted a move to somewhere he could. Nothing wrong with that, the problem that that causes though is we have no 2nd choice RB without fucking over our CBs by moving Kaboul there.

Bassong is shit and wanted 1st team football too, never getting that ahead of Kaboul, King, Dawson and Gallas so was loaned out to get him some to put him in the window for a future move, or get him to improve so we can play him without having heart attacks again.

Everyone we got rid of this window wanted out and was starting to make problems. Could affect morale so Harry decided to ship them off to stop that. Don't understand why people don't get it.

Corluka is now a bad move with Walker possibly injured. Nelsen is a good experienced back-up for our defense, who in all honesty, hardly makes a mistake. Bassong was never going to play, he is still young really and wants first team football which he should get at Wolves. Saha is a great replacement for Pav as 3rd striker IMO and it is only til the end of the season.

Nelsen and Saha are experienced older players who know they're careers are winding down and will give anything to be at a club like Tottenham at this time. They'll be happy to play back-up til the end of the season, because they know that is what we wanted (if not then we lied ), in fact both may even start on Monday if injuries have taken their toll.

News is Walkers going to be fine, either way I'd trust Kaboul out there for a game or two, especially since when Corluka has played this season, he has been shit.

If Kaboul is forced to play there, then I would be happy with Nelsen playing centre half if both King and Gallas can't make it. Thinking about it now, Saha and Nelsen are good short-term signings.

Exactly, Harry has been smart in his moves, he hasn't looked to really disrupt our team morale at this time of the season, but he's just looked to add small players to it to add something different if you get me

Lets be honest, I posted this as a status earlier on Facebook



Plus it allows Luongo to call him a sheep shagger

Kaboul is epic at CB though Wouldn't want him moved out wide.

Harry Redknapp.

We're talking the 1 or 2 possible games Walker could be out, not the rest of the season
