It was Delfouneso from Villa as they really needed him to gain more match experience but they got injuries to there front men and he has now been playing and scoring. Charlton also were in for him but they went in for the lad from Liverpool.

Is that a serious guess? It's just Poyet said he was in no hurry to sign him and will take his time deciding, which would indicate he doesn't think of him as much of a priority

In fairness to Mr Burns, he always said is was highly unlikely.
They definately had targets but refused to pay the wages/fee - Poyet has said as much.

I'm also pretty sure Mr Burns let slip it was Robbie Keane in another thread - but now he's signed for West Ham why not say so?

Was it that obvious! Before I get hammered for talking shit, I have to point out from the outset I didn't think we'd ever have a chance of signing him and said so on here. My source was the same who give me the info about all the managerial changes over the past few years, and too a letter they turned out to be true, even if some still won't expect it.
He told me that we will be signing a young Tottenham winger on loan, and we be getting said "Special Player" with him. 2 days later near the end of the last loan window, Poyet then says something in the argus along the lines of.... if we sign one, we'll sign two on loan. That's when I was sure the info was more than likely true as it was a strange comment for Poyet to make, and it fitted in with what I'd been told. A day after that Harry Redknapp said that Keane was not for loan, but for sale only, even though it appears he went back on that.
A fan, probably Fat Boy Slim but not totally sure, was going to stump up the wages 10% or £7k a week for the loan period. And yes the special one Poyet referred to was Keane. Maybe it was only for December maybe longer, I don't know the details of it. The fact we shelled out £300k on Noone and he wasn't the special one, does suggest the special one was truely special along the lines of a Keane. I know Poyet was at Tottenham for a year or two after Keane joined, so thought it could be an old mates act in getting him here. Obviosuly staying in the Prem with West Ham is best all round for Keane.

Could turn out the info was bollocks, but I don't think it was. I bet though we don't sign a "special one" in the loan window.

Jimbo!? Doesn't have a fecking SCOOBY about anything. He's done attention seeking threads before and got them 100% wrong - he says we're signing a special player today and again I'll bet ya it's bollox.
Boxing day game is definitely on !

Regards Keane, I had along with another NSC'r (I'll let them name them selves if they like) heard the same rumour, however as I wasnt sure on the credibility of the source I left it.
