Last week, she hit me with a large cactus.

	I did, but I am in two minds about it.1) A great guy, a fantastic person to have around the team, and at 34 he can still play a bit and will likely be better cover than Chamakh (whose days must be numbered) and Park (who's only played a few minutes of Carling Cup football, I don't think he's up to the prem yet) - and hey, it's TH14. Or 12 as it is now.
2) RvP won't make the whole season at this rate, he desperately *needs* a full-term backup. Walcott's not up to it, Gervinho couldn't hit a barn door (but has a good rate of assists and has great pace)... I'd like to see a 'proper' signing.
So, great to have him back (and I suspect he'll take over from Pat Rice in the next couple of years), but I'd like a new signing too.
