Snubbed by Bent and the Scousers Unsettling Yossi - WTF is going on?
So Bent thinks he can join a bigger club does he? Well that's fine cos you're too expensive anyway Darren! I hope Curbs turns his attentions to a striker of equal or greater quality but better value for money but why do I get the feeling we're going to be signing an average English player and paying over the odds? Dunno just going on current bids.
I'm a little dissapointed as I thought Bent would certainly improve the dynamic of the team but if he doesn't want to play for our great club then fuck him - he can go to the yids which is where I think he'll end up.
Liverpool are trying to sieze the moment and unsettle Yossi whilst his contract remains unsigned. From the comments I've read from his agent it appears they have been tapped up which has caused them to stall on signing the deal that they had verbally agreed to (does a verbal acceptance not constitute a legal binding contract?? Hmmm). Liverpool have reportedly come in with a derisory offer which some quarters say is 3M and others 1M - either way the offer is pathetic and insulting!

Enjoy playing Scunthorpe retard. How good does he think he is? Fuck him, we were mad to go for him IMO. He just isn't that good.
If you're talking that sort of money, there must be quite a few 'berbatove'esq type players in Europe who'd be itching for the chance to play in the EPL? We need to look outside England IMO. British players have become too expensive and most just aren't good enough.
Think Dave might be right, with what appears to be no scouting outside England, we're more than likely to end up with a wannabe at ridiculous fees. Where are the 'world Class' players Eggy?
Anyway, it's the midfield and LB that needs attention sharpish. Darren Bent, do me a favour!!! What a never was!
This Yossi stuff is a real worry. What is going on? Curbs should be tracking Yossi down and getting him to sign NOW!

only trouble is they need time to settle in EPL..even Tevez took time though it didn't help that Pardew didn't know how to play him..man marking ffs.
Personally I will be happy if we don't sign Bent @ 16-18m and 75k a week..talk about having a larf.
What we do & don't do about strikers hinges around next weeks talks with Tevez..if he goes we will have to do something. Even with Ashton's return, Ashton, Bobby & Cole won't cut it on their own...just not enough options/depth.
As for Yossi he has been bitching and moaning about this and that for too long. He was right in the middle of all the team disharmony at the outset and I think despite moments of brilliance the ledger will show he hasn't been a consistent performer week in week out for us. I think Berkovich had more flair in attack...

NM, Tevez was playing in front of a side with no heart and maybe Sth Americans do need time to settle but I'm talking about European players from similar leagues like the Dutch league or Bundasliga. Look at Berbatov and Kuyt. They slipped straight in there. All's I'm saying is that we need to look futher than the UK. I mean 18mill squid for Bent! FFS still can't believe it!

Bent = 3rd highest scorer in EPL over last 2 seasons. It was big money but like Tony said garunteed goals which you wouldn't get from an import in his first season. Not saying I disagree with you but see where Tony is coming from.
What concerns me is that Curbs is only signing players he knows and doesn't seem to want to take a gamble - maybe he doesn't trust his own judgement on overseas players.

I know what NM trying to say, but I not with you on this one lads. Just seems a bit narrow minded to me. I mean Sir Alex gets Rohnaldo, he's just got another Portugese bloke and a brazillain, also talk of Torres(Spanish striker),and another sriker from Sampdoria. He's looking outside the box. Wonder why he's not in for Bent after all he is the 3rd highest scorer in the league for the last 2 seasons!! Come to think of it it's only us and Spuds who've shown any interest at all. Better ring Ripley! Come on he's the only striker Charltons got who else is gonna score?. Shit I reckon I could get 10 for Charlton!
I've no doubt that an 18 mill player(s) from one of the other European leagues would score you goals in the first season. For that sort of money he'd/they'd be playing regular international football which is more than I can say for Bent.
You've gotta take chances to progress but Bent, Bellamy, Johnson are just not the answer for me. And they are way too expensive.
I don't mind Bent but he's not 18 mill and he didn't want to play for us from the start. Why chase him at all?
Still plenty of time though so I will be keeping the faith in Curbs and Eggy I'm just a little bit nervous after this episode in the West Ham soap opera.
Who dares wins!!!!

Curbs isn’t capable of identifying, signing and utilising foreign players. Berbatov wouldn’t make it into our team.
Expect expensive safe-bet mediocre English signings.
Curbs out.
