So then.....
Saha and Nelson in. Pav going permanently, and Bassong on loan.
Harry said Pienaar couldn't go, as a deal hadn't been done for Krasic, now we're hearing that Pienaar could be going.....?
At least Defoe is still with us, and we won again. If what we now have is more experience in reserve, that cannot be a bad thing. Oh, and a few more million in the bank once Pav has signed.
Our starting 11 tonight was not our first choice, then we have more injuries, the problem now could be more to do with bringing these new players into our starting 11, but that's surely got to be easier if they're experienced premiership players.

As for the signings I think Ledley was getting lonely in the medical centre
Saha for Pav? No, don't get that
Neilson in, Bassong out? Ummm
Pienaar out?.....Injuries to Lennon or Bale
Perhaps Harry needed a few quid to pay the upcoming tax bill & costs

peinaar going wouldnt be so baffling if we hadnt loaned out townsend...
he is basically backing niko bale lennon to be the three wingers till end of season. i guess walker could play rw if really desperate with kaboul at rb.
danny rose is kicking about too remember

Walker went off injured, so Kaboul (our best centre half) is our only cover at right back now. Lennon is injured, Bale looked troubled for a brief while this evening, Pienaar has gone. Townsend on loan, oh, and we still own Bentley and Jenas.
Rumours that Huddlestone is nearly fit, and Sandro is ok again.
Very little pace around though without Bale and Lennon, BAE may get punished for tonight, Walker may be injured.
Just too much change all at once maybe....

Think the talk of waiting to spend big in summer for whatever reason may not be full story. Cant be coincidence the confirmation of our shiny new stadium comes out hours before they know we will be disappointed about transfer activity. Think we may have a few more years of bargain hunting yet

I reckon we'll be dipping in to the lower leagues and foreign youngsters for a while, we need good players on the cheap.

We'll be alright at right back, Kaboul/Gallas can play there or even Livermore. 6 days before the Liverpool game. Hopefully the players who have picked up knocks will be fit in time. We'll be alright. I have faith in Harry and Levy! COYS!
