good business if true... Pisss off two of your strikers by effectively telling them they are not wanted/needed then bring no one in and pull the plug on their transfers telling them we need/love you.

I'm sure if called upon Pav & Keane will go all out for their manager (just hope the love of the fans can spur 'em into life, as i cannot bear to watch Crouch for another 5 months)

Oh come on, he was apalling with us! Couldn't adapt to our style of play!

Because wasn't a true 4-5-1 then. You had Ramos who couldn't pick lottery numbers let alone a sensible team and then Harry came in and went with 4-4-2 because that what he knows best.

VsV + Bent = lethal. Our loss we never got to see it.

Bent and Rafa would not be lethal, they would be on completely different wavelengths. All Bent wants is long balls into the channels.

The Tottenham manager, who completed the shock signing of Rafael van der Vaart on the deadline day of last summer's transfer window, said of the possible recruitment of a striker: "There's no chance, I wouldn't have thought.
"I'm not unhappy with the strikers we've got. Who's going to loan us a top player - someone who is better than (Roman) Pavlyuchenko, (Peter) Crouch or (Robbie) Keane?
"Liverpool are not going to loan (Fernando) Torres to us are they, and Chelsea won't loan (Didier) Drogba."

Well played, Harry! Plenty of wriggle room there to bring someone in. Seeing as how vdv's arrival was out of the blue, he can claim innocence when we get Llorente/Forlan/Fabiano/etc tomorrow :wink:.

Harry really needs to get over his hard on for Crouch and Defoe. If he honestly thinks the only better strikers out there are Drogba and Torres then he is even more deluded than I think any of us thought.
