Roberts does seem to be getting some harsh treatment oh here. Granted he did'nt have the best of games. His annoyance at the end of the game appeared to come from the fact that everytime Derbs got the ball near the box he had a shot trying to reproduce the Middlesborough strike. Not a bad thing but on at least one occasion Roberts was in a better position.

The Defoe rumour is being thrown around by the Spurs fans to try and convince themselves Utd are not going for Berbatov because they're getting Benni.

If we sign Defoe then Abbey will eat hay with a donkey, then plat sawdust.

nah i dont think hughes would let that happen

Sadly it might not be up to Hughes though - Money does talk.

I remain petrified that we'll lose Benni. He's still our best striker and he and Santa Cruz have the potential to be one of the best partnerships in the Premier League. McCarthy would be absolutely IDEAL for Man Utd, but here's hoping that either Fergie sticks to his word and they sign no-one, or they go for somebody else. A mate just informed me that Jan Huntelaar is in Manchester???

Roll on midnight. Please stay Benni... :unsure:

Why would we sell Benni now at the last minute when we've had the whole summer to do so?

Maybe he has told Hughes that he wants to leave and Hughes has decided, if Defoe wants to come and all the money works out, that trading a jaded Benni for a hungry Defoe is a good deal.

I would be inclined to agree. But this is all based alot on speculation.

Wheres Nikco. He must be able to say whether he has heard anything or rubbish it?

Nicko must be busy today - wonder if he'll get chance to come on here.

Benni McCarthy was given the night off. I would not read anything into it or be too concerned.

I am more worried about the fact that Shefki Kuqi is going to Wolves from Crystal Palace.

I have quite a decent chunk of mrs nicko's summer holiday fund on Wolves winning the Championship. :angry:

As much as i'd love to see Benni stay I think it's clear that he's not worth a place on the ptch if he's not up for it. His last season at Porto was a disaster as he didnt want to be there.

Defoe would be a good replacement for him and could be deadly with Santa Cruz.

Personally my first choice would be a happy Benni, second choice would be a hungry Defoe

If McClaren picks Jenas on the right wing then it will be strange.

Funny how things work out, mind you.

It was a brave thing to blank the under-21s, but it could also have meant a long wait for a call.

Then everybody else falls down, including his hero Beckham.

Nicko - any truth in Preston being interested in Gally? A PNE fan at work was asking.

It's been mentioned for a while. He could always go after the deadline - loans to Championship can happen about a week into September.

:angry: Would rather have a young English striker than a grumpy foreigner

Hold on.

Would Defoe quit Tottenham where he is third/fourth choice to come to Blackburn where he might not even play?

Is he THAT good?

You have one of the best striking quartets about. Why disrupt it? If Roberts's head is down it is understandable, but he will have to swallow it.

There are going to be lots of games, his chance will come.

Again, look at some of the awful deals being done elsewhere and walk around with a silly satisfied smile on your faces for a while...
