Bentey disappears into distance as Poom looms on horizon…

Unhappy at finding himself behind Pires, Ljungberg, Reyes, Hleb, Quincy, Gael Clichy, and probably Pat Rice in the race for a starting spot on the wings, David Bentley wants out. Shame. I actually think he’s pretty good, but I can understand his reasons for wanting to leave. I fancy West Ham to swoop in with a £1.5m bid.
Mart Poom: there’s a blast from the past. The now Sunderland reserve goalkeeper, once linked with a £7m move to Manchester United, is rumoured to be Arsenal’s choice as back-up for Jens Lehmann. A loan move until Christmas, with Justin Hoyte moving in the opposite direction, is currently being heavily mooted. Mooted. What a good word.
And finally, when all you have in your midfield is a Brazilian who can’t pass, a gifted yet inexperienced teenager, and a rampant runaway train called Flamini, what do you do with your “£30m war chest”?
Well, the answer is that you compete with Wigan for a striker called Fatty.
Fatih Tekke, to be precise. And no, I’ve never heard of him either. Never mind that you already have Henry, Bergkamp, Reyes, and van Persie, with Lupoli and Quincy in the wings. We really need this Fatty guy. Not a midfielder. Definitely not.
Sorry, I’m a little frustrated today. Partly because I have to go to Scotland for a few more weeks tomorrow, so won’t get to share my thoughts with my lovely readers too often.
I’ll miss you, even if you don’t miss me. You big gays.
