Only if it was a club expected to be pushing tem for a Europe spot who were asking and that would count us out.

NOBODY on here knows which striker fitted the bill and was on the list but arguably there was one who we may have got had the Krul permanent deal been done on 29/30 August early. I have nothing whatsoever against signing Krul as I believe he is a good signing but it is the timing of it that I...

I wasnt referring to Jansen specifically as had we done the deal for Krul earlier we could have gone after another loan striker from another top club. As we didnt we couldnt and so it didnt matter when the Jansen deal fell through because as you say Spurs werent prepared to loan him to...

At the cost of a striker with the keeper likely to occupy the bench seat and a striker desperately needed. Whether its correct or not I believe that we only signed Krul on loan as we couldnt do the deal before the deadline, as indicated by Benitez that we had been after him for a long...

When did they decide that Maenpaa wasnt good enough to sit on the bench as back up to Ryan?

Yes that is possible in which case we would have signed a 3rd choice stop gap free agent so why confuse the issue about not signing a striker but getting a keeper as if consolation.

I think that the situation was compounded by the ridiculous statement by PB about why we didnt sign a striker but we did sign a competent keeper on loan Also many supporters do not consider Ryan to be any better than Maenpaa if even as good as him and certainly not as good as Stockdale in the...

Perhaps the thinking is to move RYAN out of the firing line and work with him to bring him on to be a better keeper next season and use Krul who is a proven Premier keeper for this season .

I am not disputing that Krul is a good keeper but where I consider him a waste is that I would have expected us to sign an older has been like Ross Turnbull, Robert Green even Shay Given at probably a lower rate of wages as this would be their last throw of the dice and would probably never have...

I think that he will move during January and Spurs will get the profit they want as some club will see him as the answer to their problems.

As regards Krul I do not understand why we signed him in the first place either loan or as future purchase. We didnt need him as an oldie in case of emergency would have been more than adequate unless his wages are very low.

I think that he will be 1 of many desperate buys in January when we are adrift of the rest of the league.
