Who we are, and who we are going to be linked with

During this transfer window there are obvioulsy going to be, and already has been, numerous stories linking us with every available Tom, Dick & Harry from here to Timbuktoo...how much of it has any fabric of truth to it? Very little would be my guess! The fact of it is that all these stories are created by journalists who have nothing better to fill their 'toilet paper' space with, or agents who are just trying to sell their man to either the highest bidder or just any interested party. Saha? I don't think so - AC might be tactically naive but i don't think he is that stupid to buy a guy who hasn't really kicked a ball in anger all season, and whose best season was probably 4 or 5 years ago at least? Diouf? Not everybody's favourite by posting i have read elsewhere today but does opens thing up (usually his mouth though). Lanzafame - now this one i really like but looks as though it has fallen through but only becuase of 'outside factors - Nani's pulling power may look as though it has some credibility to it. Finally i see at last that we are interested in a renewed bid for Andy Johnson - is this just paper talk or is someone's agent trying to negotiate a better contract for himself with this club or any other for that matter..? Only time will tell but it is going to be a long, long summer...

I think we will probably realistically only be after two players, one on the left and one in the middle unless we sell one of our strikers then we may bring in a striker also, the only player I can realistically see us get our hands on from the transfur rumours that are flying about is Nickey Shorey, I think he could come, that leaves a creative man in the middle? but who?

You are indeed right KP it is going to be a long summer and no doubt we will be linked to numerous stories most of which will be rubbish. I suppose all this speculation gives us something to talk about but the one I would like to see put to bed sooner rather than latter is the securing of Deano signature.
