Would anyone take Brooks from Bournemouth? 

Yes, but not for the £50m they're reportedly asking for

Both goals were more Mings fault than Targett but obviously you've picked your scapegoat

 You're an angry man Kiwi. You've no FPL to occupy you now for the international break either

Asamoah is 32 soon and Inter had the perfect system for him yet he was 3rd choice come the end of the season. Conte didnt seem to think he was up to it and either have the rest of Europe if he is going to Reading

Conte is bizarrely obsessed with full-backs. He literally signs 5 or 6 every window! He loaned out Perisic last season, as he deemed him unable to play as a wing-back, only to now call him back and start him ahead of the multitude of wing-backs he's spend fortunes on! He's also tried to force out Icardi, Nainggolan, Godin, Skriniar, etc, etc, so players he doesn't want aren't always bad.

Back OT, I can't even think of who the last free agent we signed was, and I can't see us bucking that trend now. Hopefully one more in from the Championship, and that'll be it at most

Another dig at Targett who was excellent the other day. If you said that to Dean Smith I reckon he'd laugh in your face

Sorry for wanting to improve our squad. Not sure he was excellent. Salah scored twice from his area of the pitch, with Targett poorly positioned for the second at least. Either way, not having a dig at him, merely commenting on a listed of free agents quoted by another poster

Apparently in talks with Reading. What happened to him?

He's had his share of injuries but he's always been a very good player; far too good for the Championship. I've seen him linked to Sampdoria in recent days

Clichy is 35yrs old

That's why I said a short-term contract. He played for a title-winning side last season and would clearly be better than Taylor, and probably Targett too

Any takers?

Gotze's going to PSV. Kwadwo Asamoah would be by far our best left back, but is often injured. Wouldn't say no to Garay/Mandzukic/Clichy if we could get one on a short-term contract

Well, I lasted about 60 secs of the double Redknapp disaster on sky’s ridiculous deadline day wankfest. I’ll go and do something else for a couple of hours and come back on here to check at 11...

Anyone have Leroy Fer's number?

So Rashica swaps one relegation threatened team for another, really?

Leverkusen will probably make the Champions League. They'll be nowhere near relegation

Not that I'm aware. How do you figure that?

Every year, leagues like MLS, Chinese Super League, etc buy players from Europe outside of traditional European windows. Also, last season our window closed before the first PL game, but it remained open for Europe's other top leagues, and they were permitted to buy PL players

15 minutes ago, Nigel said:

Yes if that's when their window closes

That's not true. Players can be sold outside of a league's transfer window

That's some spin put in that..

I believe the Tweet these clowns are misquoting is this one:

Southampton and Leeds United are in race to sign Milot Rashica. His move to Aston Villa is definitely off. If english clubs won't be able to agree personal terms with Rashica, he could easily stay at Werder Bremen until January.

Arlind Sadiku

 

This guy is going round the houses, first he confirms that Milot is moving to Villa in a week,  Then tells us Sky Sports have told him we have no money, and now he's telling us it's all off and he won't be moving to England if he can't agree personal terms!?

I don't see how a player would be willing to stay at a club that he has removed all affiliation for from all of his social media platforms.

I don't think Arlind has a bloody clue what's going on either!

Is it "soon" yet?

Our under 16s beat Albion 4-2, Kobei Moore scored an hat-trick for the second game in a row.

Any relation to Stefan and Luke?!

Would that be because if he leaves the secure bubble of the national team for a medical for example. He won’t be able to return? 

Doubt it. Kosovo are in the playoffs for the Euros next week, and if he could play I'm sure he would

its gonna be very interesting to see how players like Zych, Swinkels, Kesler, Chukwuemka, Bogarde, McBride, Chrisine, Barry, Bidace, A.Ramsey etc develop.

ofc you can never tell how players will turn out in the end, but its defo an exciting time for our youth setup......

Don't forget the Poke!

Under 23's has it's own thread. Team played very well.

Whoops, sorry. Just after seeing this 

Just watched our young-uns' 0-1 win over Palace. Poor game in difficult conditions.

Onodi didn't have a huge amount to do in goal, but did what was needed well. I've seen Preece/Evans et al continuously build Mungo Bridge up (and in particular his ability on the ball), but I have to say he's been Hause-esque every time I've seen him. Dom Revan was a bit of a bomb scare beside him as well. Kesler was my MOTM - much better than the last few times I watched him, though strangely he was one of a number of our players to go down with cramp after an hour. He's the only one from today's defence I can see having any chance of making it with us. I'd like to see him get some loan time in L1/L2 whether it's this season or next

In midfield, Aaron Ramsey is a player I rate highly but he was pretty quiet tonight and got taken off just past the hour mark. Chukwuemeka was decent, particularly considering he's just 16. Tyreik Wright scored the injury time winner, but I can't see him/Brunt/Sturridge making it with us.

Louie Barry had a few shots blocked/wide but you can tell he's got lots of ability. I'm a little surprised he didn't get a run at some stage in the Carabao Cup. I think he's our academy's brightest prospect from what I've seen.
