Mane, Pelle, Rodriguez all scored 20+ goals playing regularly for their clubs before we signed them and I thought they were all good signings and they all were. What's your point about Bertrand again?

No idea. Unfortunate for him, not my problem. He ain't getting picked. All I've said is I wish we'd sign someone who has been playing regularly and scoring regularly. We've done it before with some success so call me bonkers but that's what I would have like to have seen us do again because it is perfectly possible.

His goal return is sh it. On my planet someone not getting game time means they're not getting selected ergo they ain't much cop. Absolutely mind boggling that this is being used to help you massage numbers to pretend he is a world beater. Personally I am looking forward to this guy turning out for us and banging in a goal every other game just like he sort of has if you, like, calculate it by minutes and divide it by the, er, goals and we carry the one and honest he is Paulo Rossi when he gets going.

Weird the manager is directly quoted as saying this when we haven't announced yet.

Being that the Leeds crest from the 70s is probably one of the best club badges of all time, I don't know why they don't just go back to that.

Just saw that on the news. He's hardly going to say anything different. He's not going to walk around Davos reminding people that he thinks he's fu cked the country up and actually it's all his fault really. In Davos, and on planet earth, we call that putting a brave face on it.

Charlie Austin - 10 in half a season before, 18 Prem goals the season before Graziano Pelle - 26 goals the season before we signed him. Sadio Mane - 23 goals Jay Rodriguez- 21 goals Ricky Lambert - 29 goals Billy Sharp - 10 in 20 game half a season So yeah, I don't think it's impossible to bring in proven goalscorers whatever level we're at, and funnily enough I think the pool of strikers can extend beyond this guy who people are fudging figures to pretend he's some goal machine.

Absolutely no fu cking idea. Not my job.

5, 8, 5 goals in the last three seasons: Shane Long stats. I think 4 of his five goals this season were in cup ties against French third and second tier teams. Your fudging of the figures can't hide that. I'd prefer someone who is a first choice and has scored 20 or so top level goals in the last calendar year.

Nice to get "there's going to be an announcement at 3pm" ticked off the bingo card for this year's January window.

Business leaders push for new campaign to reverse Brexit https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jan/22/business-leaders-push-for-new-campaign-to-reverse-brexit?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard To be honest though, self-centred agenda-driven so-called business "leaders" can all get stuffed. Unless of course they run a discount pub chain or make vacuum cleaners in Malaysia.

This. Fair pkay to Swansea I'm not spending the rest of these fretting about what other teams do, they're not all going to lose every game. Its up to us to stay up under our own steam. For example, If we don't beat Brighton then we deserve to go down.

I suppose that is one one way to get yourself focussed before a big game.

Absolutely superb co-commentator on Five Live, even in his later years. Spoke with authority and clarity and like you were sat next to him. Not many have even got close to him on tge radio - Graham Taylor was similarly good but another one gone. RIP Jimmy.

I'm calling it. We'll meet the release clause but someone else will too and he'll sign for them.

Never have I at any point felt anything other than dread at the prospect of us signing Daniel Sturridge. And it never ever seemed likely either. Other than that, great point.

Happy Quincy Promes day everybody!

I love announcements that happen tomorrow. All the best ones do.

In other news, his record looks terrible. Delighted to have never heard of him.

Fair play - this morning Sky saying they definitely wouldn't announce his replacement today. Anyone think we could do that?

Heartbreak any minute then...
