Another one bites the dust

Despite all those options yesterday, to my great annoyance it seems they are pretty much all gone. Roeder has kept his cards close to his chest so far, perhaps he has actually gone so far as to not tell the players he actually wants them incase, god forbid, someone hears him.

Maybe this guy in the picture is the answer to our problems?

• Thomas Gravesen: Looks set to join Celtic.
  
  
• Robert Huth: Roeder declared his admiration for the player and he is certainly available, but Boro want him too.
  
  
• Jonathan Woodgate: Boro seem confident he's going to them.
  
  
• Mido: Has signed for Spurs.
  
  
• Wayne Bridge: Now looks set to stay at Chelsea after his recent good form, especially as theres been no movement in the transfer market with Ashley Cole.
  

So who is there? Perhaps its not unthinkable that we take Ronaldo of Real Madrid on loan as we attempt to do our annual piece of business with them. Javier Saviola has been linked with a move away from Spain all summer and David Nugent is constantly linked with the Premiership. On the more pressing defensive side I have no idea. Hopefully we can stilll get Woodgate/ Huth and Bridge or any two of them. Back on the forward side, if Spurs do sign Mido, Defoe may become available?

As we did last season, we've signed a Chelsea player and an Inter player, so expect some movement from Madrid soon...
