No signing yet, I'm starting to understand why the OS calls it the "Transfer watch".

Carew would go for about 5-6£M not more than that I think. It would be a perfect signing for us, especially if he can play together with a real goalgetter. He would however not sign for us. He usually goes for the fancy, big clubs which are suited in a big and happening city. I reckon Birmingham wouldnt be rates as that for him. I think he rejected Fulham, it was not because of an injury. The nigerian "Edu" Wigan probably signs now should be a great partner for Carew. Cheap as well, £3M. Wigan are doing well in this transfer window, clever signings. Maybe we should get their scouts.

It's is a big world out there with many excellent players, and we only seem to talk or beeing linked to the ones in the UK. Maybe this is because MON often buy players proven in this league, but I would be dissapointed and surprised if we only looked for players here. I think many of the players we are linked with are "boring" players (Smith, Upson etc) and would be much more excited to see MON find surprise quality signings from South America, France or f.ex Italy. Plenty of great players everywhere, why go after the 5-10 players most premiership teams are after because they play in england? Come on MON, find the new Viera and Yorke and get them cheap!

Eastwood just scored for Southend against Man Utd. A great freekick outside the penalty area. Never seen him play before. Looks like a good player, although its early to judge after just 30 mins.
