Vicente IN, Paynter NOT IN - Naylor

[Byrne & Small]

But I hope he never signs Colin Hawkins.

Altho reading it back, Stephen Hawkins is a stroke of Genius!

I don't now much about paynter but work mate is a Leeds fan who says he hasn't had much of a chance at Leeds,he said he is quite strong but not a target man.
I thought we would have gone for a target man to give us other options up front.although poyet knows more about paynter than most as he coached him at Swindon.

No he didn't.

The club hasn't said a peep.

My "they" referred to anyone associated with the club. Not just official announcements but the words of our beloved manager included.

Everyone here seems to know best . MAybe you should all be in charge of transfer negotiations. Sure the club would be thrilled .

I am sure that Vicente will now happen but I too am slightly underwhelmed by the club failing once again to deliver on what it says. The striker WAS our main focus. The striker WAS in the bag. The striker WAS due to sign twodays ago. The striker WAS going to be completed early today.............................

It really isn't very clever and it isn't the first time.

I'm very happy at the idea of Paynter. He would do a good job for us when and where we need him (which is not as a first choice starter). But he hasn't signed and whether he does or does not come on loan is a question for another day. That aside maybe, just maybe, it gives a chance to someone else. Bergkamp is the only target man at the club. With three games in a week he may just get the chance of a run off the bench in a game and he may just get to show something in a match situation that just doesn't appear in training - rather like (according to Gus) Lewis Dunk did.

Back on topic I would have loved the Vicente deal to have been finalised tonight just so I can dream some sweet dreams tonight. He will without doubt be the most technically skilful and among the most tactically astute player ever to appear for the Albion. I can see him getting Dicker's slot in midfield, at home if maybe not away. Seriously cannot wait to see him at Bristol even if it might be from the bench at first.

would you rather we payed over the odds ?

Well, I suppose he could plead the fifth when asked about transfer targets.
