Heaton looking like an inspired signing. Also, United should have dropped that 80m on Upamecano, he looks class.

Jarrod Bowen. Just wanted to bump his name in this thread in the hope one of the lurking journos uses it for their next "transfer gossip" piece and I can indulge in the idea we might sign him. Can just be a "Villa considering a bid" or something like that, we don't have to pretend it's anything too concrete. Ta.

New sponsor info.

It depends on how the deal is structured, we may be paying very little now to secure the deal with most of the fee paid later causing it to fall into the summer budget (that is purely speculation though).

West Brom are as good as you’ll find in this league and they were glad to come away with a point through a bullshit goal on their own ground. We’re a great team to watch right now, and that’s not something that people have been able to say for a while. In Bolasie, Grealish, El Ghazi we have players who look like they’d be at home in the Premier League and should terrorise defenses in this league for the rest of the season. Also want to give a special shout out to Hourihane, it was kind of fitting playing against Barry who is a player who used to get us ticking over in midfield to see someone who is doing the same for us today, he might not be the most eye catching player but when he plays well, we play well. Bring on the games, I just want to watch this team play. UTV

I ain't even mad

Trying to keep track of where we're at squad depth-wise, using the formation from the last game I've got this so far: Cover for those wide positions seems like a must.

Brad Guzan played the MLS All Star Game with a mic fitted so he could be interviewed as the game was happen, crazy stuff:

I wish we would just close them down a bit more. It doesn't need to be gung ho but countless times in the first half our entire midfield was sat deep in our half 5-10 yards from the nearest man while we let them build from the back.

Wouldn't trust him with any serious negotiations, think he'd end up getting played.

seriously?

Green looking good, direct and positive.

Playing with a good tempo, no passes back to the keeper, players look like they have well defined roles.

"Leicester turn down improved Sunderland bid for Ulloa" from the Guardian live blog, I hope they get desperate and go for RMc.

Rhode to nowhere.

In keeping with the thread title... hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Some topical light relief for everyone: David Squires on the transfer window

The Sunday morning rain, the touchline refrain...

Valuable input given the wide range of international experience he's had...
