Once Parker goes, I think we'll announce Capoue.
catpoo will be named after the internationals
Lennon isn't going anywhere
( said in a serious voice so it sounds like I know what I'm talking about )
I don't ...... Or do I ?

Pleased to see Hudd go. For his sake. I think he has talent and is a prem league player, just not for us now we play the way we do and can buy in better players. Bit surprised that it's Hull.
I am very pleased to see Livermore go out on loan because I think he is good enough to play and gain experience. I don't rate him for us, but if he is going to improve he will do it playing games, not on the bench. If he doesn't improve enough (as I expect he won't) then I reckon there is a fair chance that we get a worthwhile fee for him as a more experienced player who has had game time.
This rumour about Lennon - I wouldn't be totally surprised. I think he is a great player and I love him, but I think AVB will want every player in the team to be coming up with goals. Especially forwards, and for me that is my only critism of a very very good player: he isn't selfish enough in view of goal. We should get a good fee for him if he does go. Not really sure how much we could expect..? Thoughts?
If he does go then I just hope we are bringing in a definite upgrade...else what is the point?
But as I pointed out in earlier posts, our spending (if the rumours of even more new players are true) mean that one or two valuable players are likely to go out and their name may not be Bale. I'd rather balance the books with these sort of exits than Bale.

I don't think we would accept anything less than 15m for Lennon. He is only 26(?) and knowing Levy he has more than two years left on his contract, he also has many, many years of experience in the PL and has been a crucial part of our team.
I would be happy if either of them signed tbh.
An undoubted talent, but needs to be in a team that plays to his strengths.
If Lennon was sold I would be gutted. He has been one of our most consistent performers and this is his 9th season for us. He ousted Routledge, then 16 million pound Bentley... and I love him.
Shame Thudd never got back to the 09/10 form. Thanks big man, going to miss your shooting. Hopefully he'll get a chant when we play Hull

He qualified it later to say it was pretty much impossible that all three would go - more likely one for the right price. But who knows what's going on - like you say.
I know what you mean.... Last season we shoulda beaten Wigan away, but *THudd most definitely changed THAT outcome!!!
*disclaimer: others were also to blame. the fault of changing a win to a draw was not solely just down to Tom!
The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the author. Names and dates have been changed to protect the innocent!
I liked Big Tom, but sadly his injuries that have plaqued him for the last couple of seasons or so have hampered what in 2009/10 was looking like he was going to fulfil most of what was expected of him. Sorry to see him go but agree with other people on here - its the right time for him to do so, as he was slipping further down the pecking order - Wish him well.
Livermore on loan - again agree could be good for him and who knows make him a better player for it (as it did for Andros Townsend last season at QPR). Who knows the value of both players could rise enough for us to consider selling to further improve our team.
Lennon has been a good solid player for us over the years - however I did feel that there were times last season that he was missing the final product in the final third of the pitch - hope he doesn't go, but if he does not to a bunch of newly promoted welsh sheep s******s - he deserves a better team than that to show his skills off in.

Thudds last gift was the through ball to bale against city. Perfect example of what he is capable of.
Goodbye and good luck

Watching the US/Bosnia-Herzegovina game. While I still think Eriksen would be good for us, I've been impressed with Pjanic in this one. Plays an unusually physical game for his size, which is a huge attribute in the Prem for a CAM. If we could pull it off, I'm all for it. But I just don't see Roma letting him go.
As for the Lennon issue, I too am a fan. Fantastic work ethic and I thoroughly enjoy watching him read passes while being twice the distance from an opponent and still winning the ball. However, if Bale stays or we bring in Lamela, where's he going to play? He may have already told the club he's not pleased with his outlook here being 26 in a WC year. I can't see Cardiff though. He'd cost way too much and is far too good. You don't go from rumors of City and Inter sniffing around to Cardiff a few months later.
