[...] Now, from here on in, it gets a little hazy but the best of the bunch sounds to be the deal for Ricardo Rocha. The Benfica defender has agreed a three and a half year deal with our top brass with a bizarre price tag of Â£3.3m plus two obligatory friendlies in Lisbon. The sticking point for the 28 year old is whether the Benfica club president, Luis Fillipe Vieira (terrible name) can bare to part with the player. So, either he’s that good at fooball or that bad at the club’s Texas Hold ‘Em poker nights. [...]

With you there HY, Rasiak aside, MJ’s done us proud, so let’s see what he comes up with.

Good Old Calum was great at getting forward but a bit more beef wouldn’t have gone amiss.

It could be that the 3 or 4m or whatever it turned out to be could be top up money for the kitty so we can break the bank on a Â£6m-Â£10m defender.

Sven at Chelsea woulf be a laugh. The number of depressed cabbies about town would be classic.

And as for you The Dave…I very much enjoyed Roeder’s stunned face as he couldn’t work out why his jammy theiving team couldn’t take the honours twice in a row. There’s some Polish proverb that runs ‘Even a blind chicken can find the grain.’ Well, that was their one lucky peck last Sunday.

Yes, sad to see Davenport go as he always appeared to give his all, although when compared next to Leds and Dawson he was always going to look inferior. Good luck to him, hopefully he can tweak a hamstring and help send the Pikeys down.

We will have to replace him and hopefully with someone better. At least we now seem to move on players quickly if they are not going to meet the standards required. Let’s hope that the Portuguese fella turns out to be a right hard bastard. Callum was never quite scary enough.

In Martin we trust.

Meanwhile, West Ham are turning into the Newcastle of the south. Â£50k for every new signing… Lets hope it proves as successful…

I don’t get it. Why are we so hellbent on getting rid of Davenport? Are we really going to get someone better for Â£3m than him? And if we are spending more than that on a replacement, whats the point? There’s areas of the first XI that need strengthening far more than our third choice central defender.

I always thought he showed quite a lot of promise. He’s young, he’s English, he’s done a decent enough job when he’s played. Surely he would develop.

Mind you, I thought Anthony Gardner was going to develop into a better player than Ledley King a few years ago, so what do I know.

Good morning bagel,

According to the beeb this morning, various sources (whatever that means) report that Watford have told Tottenham they can sign winger Ashley Young - if Spurs splash out and then loan him back for the rest of the season.

What do you think of this offer?

Also, after watching Newcastle’s unchanged line-up get completely taken apart by Championship opposition last night, I can’t understand what gave Spurs such difficulty at the weekend… although I suppose the evening kick off was probably past most of their bedtime…
