It does seem somewhat illogical that Ballard made the bench last week when Adams and Tella were in the squad yet doesn't make it when they aren't...

Fixed it for you

Yep, that's definitely a possible outcome, maybe even more probable than not. We'll find out for sure in the fullness of time...

One sec, I'll ask the missus if she has any plans for later this evening...

Assuming either eventually is reasonable given either could be true until we know otherwise #pragmatismrulesok

The Football League have banned any player sales going through between now and 3pm tomorrow? Who knew....? #CharlieWaymanSyndicate

Danny Ings

Look, let's cut to the chase and bring him home. Come on SR, you know it makes sense...

Wouldn't it be better to sign someone who is at least as good as Che though....?

Yep, fair point. One assumes those advocating that we replace Che (if he leaves) with Piroe are doing so because they believe that Piroe is at least as good as Che.... ergo.... if he's at least as good as Che, and we've received at least 2 bids from Premier League clubs for Che, logic would say that Swansea should have received similar bids from Premier League clubs for Piroe. (Maybe they have, and we don't know about it, but then why would he move to another Championship club if that was the case?). Therefore, one can only logically conclude that if Premier League clubs are bidding for Che, and Piroe is moving to another championship club, then Piroe isn't as good as Che and therefore wouldn't have been a same level replacement if Che was to leave...

This has got Ings on deadline day written all over it....

Isn't it arguably Everton that have been doing the "fanning"? If the bid for Che had come from a more viable/reliable club then it would have probably been done and dusted by now? (ok, admittedly we could be accused of being stupid for believing that Everton would come up with the cash in a more timely fashion but I guess these things are never as straight-forward as they seem to those of us on the outside looking in)

Wasn't Bree in the 'Championship Team of the Year' last season, or have I mis-remembered that? If so, one would venture he's a pretty decent squad member to have in the ranks at this level?

If he was "keen" and "excited" to join Saints, why would Leeds being better at a bit of admin trump his over-riding desire...?

Given the EU were extremely eager for us not to leave in the first place, why wouldn't they give us concessions/incentives to rejoin....?

Probably/possibly but doesn't mean it's wrong to say they might not happen (or particularly clever to play your "ner, ner, told you so" card a week later...)

To be fair, he's not saying these things won't happen, just that we don't know for sure one way or the other yet.

Russell Martin (paraphrased): "We recently turned down a second bid for Che and there isn't currently a bid on the table (that matches our valuation), so he's still available to play tomorrow as things stand but that could change in the next 24 hours."
