Rodallega would be excellent, Keane's off in 3 games and Heskey at the end of the season (hopefully) so Rodallega, Bent and Gabby would be 3 good strikers to start next season with.  He's out of contract at the end of the season so £4m now should do the trick.

I've always rated Rodallega, but we aren't spending a dime me thinks.

I don't think we have a dime to spend.

I'll be very surprised if we add anyone new today. The rationalization is going to extend until we permanently rid ourselves of our remaining old or costly contracts. I fully expect a defensive purge in the summer along with us shedding Beye, Petrov and Heskey.

Really?  This guy is meant to be the next big thing.  Whilst I doubt he'd stay around long it would be a good chance to buy cheap and sell at a huge profit in two or three years time.

Seems to be a cnut of the highest order,maybe getting out of Manchester may help,moving to London might not.

One good thing about us being quiet this window is that i wont be tempted to sit through SSN for any late deals,and sit through their presenting creaming themselves over a late loan deal that 'arry or some other tube does.

There's a transfer special on BBC News channel at 6.30pm if anyone's interested. I'm not sure what they're going to talk about for half an hour though. Maybe they'll attempt to answer the perplexing question of 'Why the fuck do Spuds want Saha?' Does he come with a dog called Rosie48?  ;)

His a knob of highest order, thinks he is Maradona.

Apparantly rumour are from Man United fans that this guy has issues with people in the city and needs to leave.

I would actually swap Heskey loan for Gardner loan for the rest of the season, the latter will give more of a goal threat too.

I didn't expect us to buy anyone but it would have been nice to remove some of the guff that we're still having to pay until their contracts run out at the end of the season.
