Are we having a fire sale, or something? According to various newspaper reports Bobby Zamora is being sold to QPR for a mere £2.5 million. Firstly, it is difficult to believe that an established Premier League player is only worth such a trifling sum and secondly it is incredulous that he would want to move to a middling Championship club when a couple of Premier League teams have already expressed interest in him.
I accept the need for one or two of our strikers to be moved on, and even though I will be sad to see Bobby go, he must be sold at the market price (£4-5 million iMHO) and for his own sake go to a higher profile team than QPR.
The article on the propaganda site ( I mean website, sorry) is telling isn’t it. Bowyer banging on with the party line about once Dyer and Bellars are fit again it’ll be like having a whole new team. Maybe, but also a smokescreen to mask the lack of close season investment.
If they don’t get properly fit or don’t perform, what’s the plan B then?? Answers on a postcard………………………….
Yeah, Mark Bresciano would be a bonus, good player. Also read that Nani is trying to nick Marius Stankevicius from Brescia. 27, Lithuanian, big strong defender & scores the odd goal. Don’t forget we still have the Sheffield compensation thing to come. Maybe that has a bearing on what we spend. Yes, quiet isn’t it.
MISSING!

Used to write a decent (and regular) WH blog and is sorely missed.
If seen please diret him to the nearest computer (with internet connection) and instruct to write something for his fans.
Tell him to make something up if he has nothing to report on, we need a fix!
Where’s Ian????
Plan B = 17th…

Perhaps the start of a more business like acumen and the demise of sentimentality? I hope so.
