I'd prefer a real fox.

I think we can win tonight. With Fox we cannot.

Fox=loss

Our squad is a teensy bit too thin, IMHO. Need cover in CM and LB if we can shift Fox

Ah! 'Mind games' against the maestro...

Fox. Jesus wept.

Uh-oh. That's him off to Chelsea then and I am downgrading my prediction from possible win to loss immediately if this is true

He was a shadow of his former self the other day. Awful. Had thought he might be a good option for us but really not convinced he's still got it.

There seems to be a commonly held view that the only players we must buy are those who are better than our first choicers. I think think this is to miss the point a little. We need strength in depth to cover positions, so therefore cover for Shaw at LB could conceivably not be as good as him but better than Fox. This applies to other positions in my view too. Obviously, the best scenario is to improve the first team, but this seems fairly settled, assuming we hang on to our best players.

I think the timing would be a little odd during the transfer window, no? Wouldn't it mean clubs would up their prices for our targets? Or perhaps it's good timing because we have no targets...

So he can step in when we sell Shaw to Chelsea next season. (sorry, in answer to dell days)

He is about 4.6 times better than Danny Fox.

I know, at Brighton, still on big wages. Just a dream of mine.

The return of Wayne Bridge

Fair enough. I just think we need that type of player for the times when Plan A does not work. And by big and bruising I simply mean a Fellaini type, if that were realistic.

Would be good move. For us and him. He's too wasteful to make it in the Prem at the moment (and not great at marking) but dead ball delivery not bad.

Arry and his favourite agents/brown envelopes. Sorry, players.

I'd like us to sell Fox for £25m. Thanks.

I'd like to see us get another big bruising defensive midfielder to break up play occasionally, and as back up for when injuries strike people like Cork (as they will). Would also like to see another CB as cover for the same reason. Sorry. Greedy.

Not exactly scintillating, this window, is it?

Hello Nicola! Your English is improving! ;-)

Just read a tweet rumouring Darren Bent to us. Hmmm

Dave Watson

Not good.. And explains his 'I'm confused' tweet (which I think the club made him delete). Hope he's cool about it.

Echo's headline on twitter just now of 'Coutinho deal sealed' is more than a little misleading. Yes, but to Liverpool. Twonks.
