Neill hints at Curbs' shopping list
In an interview on ABC TV yesterday, Lucas Neill ran off a list of players that Curbishley is looking at. All but one are Aussies, suggesting either Neill has a fanciful bias or he's been talking with Curbs about his teammates... At any rate the list was, in the order that I recall:
Eidur Gudjonnsen
Vince Grella (brilliant!!)
Mark Viduka
Tim Cahill
Likely? Who knows? But if we could get our mitts on Grella and/or Cahill....

Apparently reading elsewhere Neill has had a chat about some of his teammates to Curbs and has said he would like an Aussie or two to be drafted into the side.
Grella, i dont know if he will handle the premier league its far too fast and he simply doesnt have the pace or the range of passing to compensate, i could be wrong, i love Grella but IMO he is far better suited to Italy and Spain, and is a fantastic DCM in those leagues.
Cahill would be a good signing but i cant see how or why he would leave.
Viduka i dont think is interested in us, but the club has been linked with him.
It makes for interesting reading thats for sure.
I have to say that we have kept things very quiet, in the transfer market thats for sure.

reported that Curbs number 1 priority is Bentand Charlton are asking £18million with Marlon perhaps being offered as part payment.
Dave & I had a discussion the other day about why should we give a fuck if we have to pay a bit more than what they are worth as long as we get them but somewhere along the way if you consistently fork out over the odds there will be an impact...if you pay £2m or £3m over the odds for each of 5 players then that's £10m that could have picked up a quality player.
How many other clubs would be prepared to pay £18m for Bent? £12m, maybe £15m, *maybe* but £18m is just getting crazy imho.

Yeah stupid money being mentioned for Bent, Johnson etc. I reckon it's all media beat up. Journo bullshit 'cause thay know we've got cash.
I can't see us paying anywhere near that sort of money for those type of players. Yes we've got cash but we also have time and although I'm as keen as the next bloke to get some good players in, I think some patience are in order.
Forget all this 18 mill crap, stay at Charlton and enjoy Scunthorpe away. 18 mill! LMFAO!
