He's 31 now and the injuries are coming thick and fast so will he be fit enough to compete for a place?
I can't see him getting a central role as Nolan and Noble have that sewn up with Diame if he stays and the returning Jack Collison.
The left wing should be occupied by Jarvis if he can start reproducing his Wolves form, leaving only a right wing position.
I thought Beny was on a season long loan but he's gone back to the Chelsea reserves leaving Vaz Te who is finding his form again after his injury.
Marouane Chamakh came to England with a good reputation but failed to live up to it in his early games for Arsenal so dropped down the pecking order, the only time I've seen him this season was when he missed a penalty against Bradford.
He might turn out to be a good signing if he gets game time and will probably need to take his chance early on while Carroll is injured and Maiga is off to Africa.
Sean Maguire looks a promising youngster who if he settles in England and is brought through properly looks like he could go a long way (or at least get a decent transfer fee).
The rest - Mercenary Demba Ba has gone to Chelsea which is good business for them as he's cost just £7m and they got £12m for Sturridge who has looked really disappointing over the last year.
QPR have probably confirmed relegation by signing Tel Ben Haim :)
Tottenham have pre-signed German scouser Lewis Holtby but he won't play till next season.
West Brom's Graham Dorrans has been made available and I know we tried to sign him a while back. Several other low profile transfers so far and a host of rumours.
The one that all made us laugh today was the story that Wesley Sneijder was considering joining QPR!! even dodgy Harry laughed at that one :)
Anyway let's hope Joe can silence all the doubts with a winning performance against Man U tomorrow :)
Demba isn't good business at all.....it's GREAT business!
