I think with the bigger and bigger disparity between Prem and Champ money, this will increasingly become the case that relegated clubs get players the rest of the division can only dream of. Makes it all the more important to get that promotion.
Why move to stoke or Norwich when you can stay in London, not move house and be on the same wages? Makes sense to me
Cos you'll be playing away at Old Trafford and The Emirates instead of Doncaster and Yeovil. Agree with you from a personal perspective but not footballing.
Too good to step down to the Championship just yet.
Fulham would be a good move. Hopefully he won't go to Palace
I'm not sure that he's got the legs for the PL now, you know. Now bearing in mind he was out until Christmas with the achillies injury and just came back as Sandro got injured against QPR, he really struggled to last beyond 75-80 mins for the remainder of the season. Ok, he runs his nuts off and covers more ground than most but it was noticable that AVB was dragging him off with 10-15 mins still to go and was putting on the likes of Huddlestone, Livermore and Holtby for him. Maybe a bit different with a full pre-season programme behind him but it was noticable.
I can never understand the bitterness of some supporters when a very good player, such as Scott Parker, moves on to a better team, where he can show off his talent. Scott served his time with us and although I was very sad to see him move on, he went with my best wishes. I would like to see him (and Darren Bent) back with us at some stage.

He would have gone with all our best wishes, if he hadn't been tapped up by Chelsea & stormed out the dressing room to see Murray, demanding a move, despite still having quite some time on his contract.
He then refused to play for us ! He didn't end up leaving with my best wishes, greedy bastard.
What Covered End said. Curbishley mentioned in his book that when, by chance, he saw Parker in a restaurant a while after he'd effectively gone on strike to force the Chelsea move, Parker ignored him. Left a bad taste, the way he conducted himself.

Publically Curbs said he handled it well... after the move. But privately it left a bad taste, as I've said in this thread and countless times before, it was clear Curbs thought he'd be a shoe in replacement for either Viera or Keane. Parker wanted the paycheck.
Signed for Fulham. 3 year deal. Good move for him. Glad he hasnt gone QPR. Should say that QPR, Fulham and another unnamed club all met Spurs' valuation and he got the choice...

I have it on good authority that the unnamed club was indeed ourselves but Scott decided that despite the imminent £Trillions, he'd do better elsewhere. Our 3 year plan for European qualification was a little protracted for his liking.
Very sad when a 2-bob club like Fulham can afford someone on those wages.

His agent has earned his money there. 3 year deal! I saw quite a bit of Spurs last year and it looked to me that his style of play had started to catch up with him. He's also picking up the injuries that he mostly got away with when with us.

A Chelsea reject in the end was not on his list.
He was a kid with lot's of potential.
Has had a great career but was never world class.
Would be nice to see him down the valley if he signs.
Was the best box to box English midfielder in the country at the time he went to Chelsea in my opinion, though Hargreaves was underrated.
Should have had a lot more caps playing alongside the more attacking Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes.
Should be announced after the internationals tomorrow when Capoue completes his move to Spurs.
QPR want Townsend as well as Defoe.

Fulham sign Scott Parker from Tottenham on three-year contract for undisclosed fee. More on #SSN

They should have been relegated years ago.
