Jah Lush Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Stuff and bloody nonsense! How much did you pay for Johnson anyway? Mind you what with his England recall and "goal of the season" he's certainly upped his price recently but we could certainly afford him.

ratty Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I reckon GJ would be upwards of ?12m. Judas himself was quoted as saying that he was only going for loans was he not? (Not that you can beleive anything that comes out of his lying saggy mouth of course! ;) Would debate whether you would want Johnson to play over Corluka though; who I think is class.Reckon it's just tabloid crap tho.

Talking of tabloid crap, I heard a rumour that Redknapp was going to lose O'Hara and Lennon back to Anfield, in a cash + players deal for Keano.

Jah Lush Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 That would be bonkers Kells wouldn't it. Lennon's doing the business again and O'Hara gets better with every game. Cracking goal against the Hammers. We could do with another forward but I don't think Robbie Keane will be coming back anytime soon. I don't think Harry's got much to spend anyway and will probably wheel and deal in the loan market. Frankly, I don't think we need any of Portsmouth's players apart from Jermaine Defoe.Ratty.If memory serves me well, didn't Portsmouth buy Defoe in January of last year? That's 12 months. So we can have him.Twelve million quid for Johnson! You're having a laugh. Besides once Alan Hutton is back from injury we wouldn't need him anyway.

It would be fucking hilarious. He lost the dressing room for a start and I really don't think there are too many of our players who are good enough to play for Real Madrid.

Kells Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 O'Hara's goal was magic. Can't see any of them going to Real Madrid...half of the problem seemed to be that Ramos, for whatever reason, couldn't get the best out of them here, so why would they go? And yes, I don't think that many of them would be good enough for Real Madrid. Not yet, but I'll enjoy it if they prove me wrong!I've even started believing in Gomes. And I never thought that would happen. That was probably the highlight of the hammers game for me (well OK, there were two) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/178/#findComment-152624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides once Alan Hutton is back from> injury we wouldn't need him anyway.Not correct I'm afraid my love and this is where the confusion is. To push the deal through Jermain came on loan (we were waiting on the Benjani to City deal) we then got dispensation from the FA to finalise the deal later in Feb. He was not allowed to play against Spurs because he was technically on loan. His permanent move being made as soon as June transfer window opened. 12 months will be June 2009.Johnson is only worth that much cos he is English and therefore counts as homegrown for UEFA quota. Liekwise Defoe, and Crouch. Homegrown players values are gonna inflate even higher as Uefa rules tighten.

Keef Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Don't think he totally lost the dressing room, Jenas just the other day (before the Madrid news) was saying what a great coach he was, but that a couple of things just didn't work out.Gossip columns are suggesting he may come in for Zokora...RE: Defoe, if memory serves, they missed the deadline last January, so he actually went on loan, and was only signed properly in the summer, so the 12 months won't be up... Could be wrong though.Why would Spurs want him back anyway? He's a decent player, but he was very much 3rd choice behind Keane & Berba, so why ggo back?

Jah Lush Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Because Keane and Berbatov aren't there anymore and Harry fancies him (in a non-sexual way of course).

Keef Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Fair enough, but if I was him I'm not sure I'd want to go back to a club where I'd always been number 3, even if 1 & 2 had left. Saying that, Bent was number 4, and he seems to be doing alright now.

Kells Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't think we should have got rid of Defoe in the first place. But there you go, Spurs are the only team who can start the season with Benty on his own, and wonder where all the goals have gone. I think Commolli had more of an impact on Ramos' team than it should have, just because it works on the continent.... But Harry wouldn't put up with that, even if Comolli was still at the Lane.

ratty Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Changing the Subject...A thread on another forum I go on (Pompey Fans Online) has made me chortle so I thought I would plagiarize it on here.What football chants over the year have made you guffaw? My own personal favourite, is, as a young man at the time of the Cleveland Child Abuse scandals, going up to old Ayrsome Park and singing "Get your Kids out for the Dads" at the boro faithful (all 9 of them).Anyone else????

matthew123 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I see Alex Ferguson has come out with more hostile nonsense, this time saying it's a terrible black mark against the FA for banning Evra for 4 matches after he'd punched an overweight groundsman in the head back in May at Stamford Bridge. Let us not forget that to try and get themselves off the hook United's propaganda machine at first suggested the groundsman had racially abused Evra, that in itself is below the belt and should have been dealt with by the FA.I can't think of a bigger hypocrite in this country than Alex Ferguson, he'd make a politician blush.
