Hope you get it then. How does everyone use their vouchers? Straight away? String them out? Not at all?

brilliant Haha. I think that's exactly what will happen although they'll be a jumper involved.

I've still got a feeling Makoun may not be leaving This may be a Makoun-Annan situation mirroring the Collins-Vlaar situation.

Yeah, I think he will end up there eventually but most likely after his contract is up here. Yeah I agree, that's the most likely way it'll happen however I've convinced myself it will happen for definite. May even put a bet on.

Just like N'Zogbia Albrighton seems to be our solitary out-and-out winger.

I'd like to see a back four of Stevens, Lowton, Vlaar and Lichaj for Werder Bremen. I wouldn't mind Lichaj, Vlaar, Clark and Lowton. But I'd like to see Stevens given the chance as the natural left back, at least 30-45 minutes. I know Lowton is a natural right back so my initial back four is playing someone out of place but I've rated Stevens in the friendlies, I think higher than a lot of people seem to have, so I'd like to see if he has the chops to confidently take the left back position. If Warnock isn't involved I imagine that will seal his fate. Still a week to go and he may have gone by then. If someone comes in for him that is.

We've been linked with him today.

I wonder if it was Arouna Koné from Levante?

Did Lambert say this? "Will he be part of my plans? I haven`t seen him yet. I`ll have to wait and see. I know the work permit is a big thing here and the group at the minute is very good. I am trying to build the squad and we will see what happens. The group are coming along nicely and that is all you can ask for."

It's like a Monster B-Movie.

Sounds good so far

Wonder if we'll take an interest in anyone from Team GB?

I suppose, after being given a full 90 minutes, the game to judge him on is the Bremen game now.

Salve.

I think, if they get themselves sorted and want him, he'll go to Stoke.

He looks good but he'll need the right partner with him. I have good faith in Lambert that he'll choose the correct tactic

We seem to still be looking for some cement in midfield to possibly let the attacking players do only that.

I used to love how calm Friedel was when an attacker was trying to close him down from a pass back.

The January window will be the interesting one.

May have been a back up in case Vlaar deal didn't happen, and now it has, they might be touting him about because they want him sold, see if someone else becomes interested.

He's not all bad:)

My Dad's got one and they seem generous, he's a big man. Cheers 8pints? It's ok LeafyVilla

With that little goblin in charge of Blackpool? I severely doubt it. However, I do think he is worth more than that. He's only 21 and looks to have quite a bit of talent and flair. Attacking players are always more expensive too. I think he signed for Blackpool in 2010 but I don't know how long his contract is. Yes, very true, I wonder if he'd be alright with us now without Houllier? I know they turned an 800k bid from Cardiff down for him but that was a while ago now.

We seem to be going for a lot of players that Sunderland are linked with. Is Phillips valued at 1-2m?
