Feel sorry for him? He's getting paid 40 grand a week to be not as good as he wants to be... I'm not as good a footballer as I want to be, but I don't get paid for it!

We've got Lansbury, Henri Lansbury I just don't think you understand He's Steve Bruce's man He's better than Zidane We've got Henri Lansbury Lyrical genius I know, let's get this going in the Holte today!

I think the playoffs are gone, 10 points doesn't sound like much but there are 7 clubs above us who will all need to drop points whilst we pick up 3 points each week. We have seen in previous weeks how one win doesn't move us anywhere in the table, and with our away form we won't have the momentum to string wins together back to back. Obviously I won't be complaining if we go on to win every game left this season, but unfortunately that is the type of form we will need to move ourselves into the playoff positions now.

I don't think Steve Bruce has a clear understanding of how this club works

Looking through the website at squad numbers taken I have realised that: 1) Our club website has somehow gotten worse than last season 2) Our squad numbers are horrific I'm going with 5 or 15, not that I care either

Clearly head and shoulders above what we already have...

I think Lansbury has been fully fit for a couple of weeks now but hasn't played due to the transfer speculation. Should be fine to play tomorrow.

This for me too, set up as: Johnstone Hutton Chester Baker Amavi Jedinak Lansbury Tshibola Adomah McCormack Grealish Would like to see RHM or Davis on the bench to replace McCormack if he has another poor game Green on the bench to replace Grealish if he is poor No Gabby

Tony has said announcement by 12... Guarantee he can't contain himself that long, tweet by 10

I think the club will announce any signing as soon as it's done, I'm sure they are aware of the fans frustration with this window so far. Hoping Lansbury is announced today at least, would be nice for Hourihane as well ready for Saturday though. Then gives us a week to tie up any other deals we have in the pipeline as well as sorting the striker situation. Bit of extra time for Bruce now the Bristol City game has been postponed.

My Nan > Agbonlahor

I don't really get the whole RHM contract saga... his current deal is expiring so realistically he is free to leave if he likes. We haven't exactly given him a reason to stick around, championship football, playing some of the worst football we have played in years, yet he still hasn't been given a chance. I watched him in pre season and he was really good. Granted the opposition were poor but Agbonlahor played in the same game and didn't do anything. Until we get a new striker in I would play RHM over Gabby and see how he gets on.

We can talk about Gestede all we like but the way we played on Saturday, even if we had Kodjia up front instead of Gabby we wouldn't have won that game. Yes we need a striker (Gabby & McCormack are useless), but the midfield is our main issue and needs fixing this week. Gestede was a cart horse, we got a great deal for him. Hopefully the club have a plan in place for sorting the striker issue this week also.

The fact that an Olympiakos scout has left Villa Park with the view the Aly Cissokho had a good game and would be a good signing for his club makes me feel better about our own attempts at signing players...

Just pay the fees for both players and get them in asap. It will then give us two weeks to have a look for a left winger which is desperately needed in this side. Over the last few weeks I have been against signing a striker thinking that McCormack will come good but after yesterday it just proves that he really never will do it for us. If we can get a striker in, either from abroad of someone like Hernandez then it will help us next season. In my opinion this season is now over and we need to start building for next year and go at it as Newcastle & Brighton have this year. Summer needs to be spent getting rid of the deadwood and remaining player with a losing mentality (Westwood, Hutton, Bacuna, Gardner, Agbonlahor) and upgrading as many positions as we possibly can. We need to be poaching the best players from sides that miss out on promotion this year, there are some good players in this league and if you throw enough money at them they will come and put this club back where it should be.

At least we have a new midfield sorted nice and early ready for this game... Oh wait...

Yeh what he say's...

I would rather we offer 3 Million for Hourihane and get him in over the next few days than let this window drag on any further waiting on CM's. We need them in as soon as possible! I would also be inclined to sack off Lansbury and move on to the next target. I really thought we had prepared for this window in December so that we could move players in as soon as the window opened ready to get the points on the board required for the playoffs. Saturday is now another game where our midfield options include Westwood, Bacuna & Gardner...

Gabby & Kozak... I've heard it all now

Awful tweet that, should really explain it or not tweet at all

I want less links and more action

Am I right in saying he will need to sign today in order to play on Saturday?

Benteke is not going to drop down to the Championship this season. Our best hope is that we go up, Palace go down, and Tony then goes after Benteke... I can't see him coming back myself as much as I would love it.

Glad to see we have 7-8 targets and are expecting 3-4 to be brought in... shows we have backup options in place in case we don't get the intended target.
