More of the Same 12:05 - Oct 8 with 3128 views | exiled_dictator | Being reported in the papers today that Harry is after both Adebayor & Defoe in the January transfer window. We all know Adebayor don't even get out of bed for less than £100k a week, and needs two people to lace his boots, and we have seemingly been linked with Defoe ever since Harry turned up. Defoe always struck me as a player with goals in him, and I reckon he could still do a job in the Premiership, but why did none of the lesser Premiership clubs pick him up before? His wage demands too high? 214 goals in 524 English appearances, but now 32. Still scored 12 in 17 games in Canada, but I have no idea of the level out there. Other than cold. I am far less keen on Adebayor, whose goal scoring record is not as good, and always struck me as lazy, seemingly drifting out of games far too often. Yes to Defoe, as long as it's not silly wages, he earns £90k a week in Toronto http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2514233/Jermain-Defoe-quit-Tot And didn't sign for us in the summer due to those high wage demands. No to Adebayor; seems like a mercenary to me. | ![](/images/avatars/5042.gif) |

and people argue about keeping Redknapp because they want long term stability, I fear for this club if HR is still here come the January transfer window | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

they may well do Pinner , Depends who it is, if it were say Karl Robinson I wouldn't have thought he would be signing over the hill players like Adebypoor you seriously think keeping HR here to spend more money in January is a good thing ? | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

I very much doubt ANY signing will be welcomed with open armed acclaim on here after this start to the season! Same old, same old, whoever is the manager, just different names/mates/favourites - rearranging chairs on the Titantic. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Of course they might, but you would hope a new manager would prioritise ability over friendship, rather than vice versa. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

its not Pinner, its about having a long term vision of how to play, what formations we use, what tactics we use, how to properly defend & attack set pieces, coaching, youth players what players to buy, ie not crocks or old favourites how to win away non of that applies to HR , he has had nearly 3 years to stamp his authority its not working Pinner and its not going to get better with our last of the summer wine coaching team either we need a young manager , a manager who wants to be here , a manger we can give 5 years to build something if you talk about same old same old that's gonna be Arrys buys in January if he is still here , | ![](/images/avatars/8151.gif) |

Ohh that's a low one disco! Seriously, is there not a tiny (maybe not so tiny) bit of you that thinks it will all be the same. Certainly players will be exactly the same until Jan - some will get more game time, some less. I do think we should change manager, just not over optimistic that it will do any good | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

fair enough paul, yourve got principles and you stick to them..perhaps he players could learn a thing or two from the resolve you show. i would love to see kenny jacket here but he wouldnt be given the time he needs to build the club from the floorboards up.i fear it will be another big name who finds himself in reduced circumstances. we both love our club mate. | ![](/images/avatars/16567.gif) |
