I'd rather Cambiasso for a year than Barry to be honest.

Barry wouldn't be a bad addition simply from an experience and leadership standpoint. Sherwood wants winners and Barry checks a lot of boxes and would be cheap. He's not the player he was but he can still contribute in limited appearances but much like Petrov, behind the scenes would be immensely useful.

And thus why Adebayor might have fallen through?

If I had to have one Villakicks indulgence then it would be signing Berbatov. It may be 2-3 years too late, but we wouldn't be talking about him coming into play 30+ games. He'd be some experienced quality to use as and when.
He's a class player and has never relied on pace.
That said I'd rather give Kozak his chance over Berbatov and Adebeyor.

He and Vlaar in the first few games were a big reason in getting those early points. They were magnificent at Anfield in particular.

Pedant alert.

It was Baker with Senderos at Anfield.

Yep, Senderos missed a sitter to put us two up

Well he still has it. Just recall the CL game in February vs Arsenal. Just a silky player.

Mind you, according to the Daily Express, we're all going to die in a Saharan heatwave or biblical flooding every other weekend

If he could turn it on even for a dozen games, he'd be an asset. He's also a big game player. Hell we might even stand a hope of beating Yanited.

both possible if you live out here. It was 40C the other day. Biblical floods would be most welcome given the state of my lawn.

Is that the same Berbatov last seen quite clearly not giving a flying fuck as Fulham were relegated two years ago?

No thanks. Adebayor, I can see the sense in. Berbatov would be an enormous waste of money.

Berbatov is three years older. I could imagine him coming on and having the odd good game as sub. I can imagine Adebayor having a genuine influence in the team, for much of the season. I really hope the Berbatov thing is just a rumour leaked by Tim to Cockerney media mates to get Adebayor and/or Tottenham to play ball.

If we are gojng to sign a disinterested moper Id much prefer Berbatov over Adebayor, I think neither is the sensible option now we have Rudy.
