Tim Cahill?

Word on the street* is he has left New York Lucozade and is coming back to the Premier League.

*SKY


I'd take him if he's a free agent until the summer.

Some presence in the team and can grab a goal .

Absolutely pathetic that we inquired to take Rickie Lambert on loan. Lambert has no rhyme or reason as to why he picks players. He can't use them properly anyway.

I would have been happy with Lambert short term, he's a goalscorer
we have two domestic loans already. We're not allowed any more.

Surely we can put a case for Cleverley not counting. In fact, let's just blag it. If we have hardly noticed he is here why should anyone else have?

Normally by this time on Deadline Day I'd be fuming at our lack of activity, but I don't really care anymore - Lerner and Lambert are killing my interest. It kinda wears you down after 3 seasons of this shit.

I just pray we don't 'buy' anymore injury prone players. Players are known as injury prone because ermmm, they are, Joe Cole, Senderos, Vlaar. Why do we magically think they will stay fit?

I just saw on the Guardian that Cahill's on a free and thought it'd be worth exploring. Our midfield is absolutely clueless, he'd surely improve it.

we dont need somebody like Cahill. We are crying out for a crab-passing, low calibre, shot-shy defensive midfielder.

I'd rather have Robbie Keane back.

tell you what, Joe Cole trousered the easiest pension plan annuity of all time when Lambert rocked up.

So obviously he is injury prone

Why did we bother

Mind his goal might keep us up

Signing one Lambert for the same cost as sacking the other.

I know which route I would have taken.

5mil for a 32 year old striker....

Don't panic Mr Mannering!

Paying that for Lambert is the epitome of a panic buy...

Surely even we couldn't be sufficiently clueless to pay 5m for a 32 year old?

Actually, we probably would. And give him a five year deal.

Mind you, knows his way around the lower leagues. He'll come in handy when our coach driver is having trouble finding Doncaster's ground.

We've done it for a 35 year old in the not too distant past.
