Hodor wouldn't be happy.

To be fair, you have also used an ! instead of a ? ?

Strangely, I think we will sign 2. Seems a shame to leave 2 loan spaces free...

Think we can get by with the Keeper situation. CB and a wick bastard out wide for me.

There is a quality picture of a toothless dingle on the BBC sport website. Linky

Don't see the need for Gallagher now, especially if there is a silly loan fee involved. Winger and a lanky CB who we can chuck up front if needs require.

Rather than the first 11, it's the bench where we should see the biggest improvement. If we get Chapman (or someone equally as dynamic. For now I would go with Raya Nyambe Lenihan. Mulgrew. Bell Evans Rothwell Palmer Dack Bennett Graham Subs Leutwiler Williams Reed Smallwood Armstrong Brereton *Chapman That is a great matchday squad at this level. Imagine defenders having to cope with that 11. Then introduce the pace of Brereton, Armstrong and Chapman for the last 20 mins!

Yup. A simple not for sale statement by the club, like the JR ones would be a positive sign....IF there was ever a bid in the first place.

I am sure if the bid was £15 mil or more, he'd be off to balance the books. Which to be fair, if it pays for all our summer signings, is the way we should and probably will operate outside the PL. Doesn't sound like the Baggies are flush. If it was Leeds or Boro , you'd be more nervous.

Oui. Toujours! And yes that is Google translate ?

Still have to pay him off. He was on trial at Watford, you would have thought he could have done the same here. Maybe it has greased a few palms to get us a player we really want in ....anyway, I digress.

Probably best to be skeptical/sceptical (take your pick).

Final piece in our attacking jigsaw?

£7mil with add ons...hilarious. Do WBA think we are Newcastle? Now 2 years ago, with a player 'recovering from a knock' taking longer than expected, I'd have been very nervous!

To be fair. Rodwell is one where they clearly haven't followed the protocol for whatever reason. . TM said in an interview he knows he can play but needs to assess the committment and mental aspect of the player whilst he trains with the first team. Surely a trial would have established that? Anyway, tis not the end of the world.

Well, if we are in for a couple more players for Friday, there's no sniff on t'internet. We seem to have gone dark again.

Also the fact that we are competing financially for good players, rather than scraping round out of contract or premier loans.

Bit quiet on the rumour front... Still 2 loan places to fill?

I got that Impression. If we bid for 2 players (allegedly) on deadline day, in different positions, you would have to assume that we had the funds for both if they had been accepted. Then there was the American lad...

Didn't realise he was as big as that. If he's got a bit of devilment about him, could well be the player for that lone role if he develops. In terms of the fee, it's a lot based on our recent history. In context of the division, it's about right for a better than average champ player these days.

Good time to pick up any talent from the Turkish league though!

It's an option in word only. LT confirmed it is an agreed fee with no backing out from either side.

He wouldn't be able to play in this side but we won't start this again...

To be fair, if Boro get a winger, sounds like he'll be allowed to go. They thought they were getting Bolasie, now possibly Saville.

Good win! Onwards and upwards. We're coming Dingles...
