Yoshida surely...

Ha! Big difference. £1.5 million has been quoted on one Leeds forum too but £500k sounds more likely. Still better than a free. I wonder if it's a sweetener for pushing the Byram deal through.

Having said that, isn't the Leeds chairman mental?

£5 million? WTF? That cannot be right surely?

Norwich, for obvious reasons.

What the hell? Shane Long for £12 million? This came out the blue. Does Koeman even know who he is? Looking for the positives, umm, he can score goals at this level, although not prolifically. He's got a few years left in him. Umm... Does it weaken Hull? Not sure how I feel about this. Confused I guess. The club appear to be panicking. I'd rather we went into the season with just Gallagher and Pelle and Mayuka and signed a striker towards the end of the window after careful deliberation. This says a lot about our ambition. Either way let's hope he proves us all wrong and bangs em in.

I am rather. It's nice to achieve something while at work.

It's working now. "A Lord of Rings" is the anagram. Intriguing.

I just looked up an anagram of Florin Gardos. (As I did for Dusan Tadic). It told me that an anagram of Florin Gardos is Florin Gardos. I don't think it was working...

Sad news, must've had some demons. RIP

The bald bloke is useless, I've barely heard a word he said since he took over from the previous bloke. Now that is probably due in part to the PA system, but I understood a lot of what the previous guy said. Whatever the current guy's name is, (Steve?) he needs to be taught annunciation and speed of speech.

He has joined AC Milan today. Random!

Did anyone else misread that and think Huntelaar was 51?

If he's anything like Pellé...

Here's to hoping we sign Gardos early this week. A) to get a CB on board quickly and bed him and B) to concentrate on further recruits.

Still too early for this, 2nd September after the dust has settled is when it should be done... ...That said, we can speculate. As it stands with the squad as it is, we will struggle, finishing possibly 14th to 17th, possibly surprising people with luck behind us as high as, say, 12th. But we all know signings will still be made, and some of the links have been very positive. With the right signings, we could we finish as high as we did last season. This season is transitional for us though, I'll be happy with 14th or higher, meaning we've done no worse than in the season after promotion.

2 positions we need too. According to this his salary is £60k a week. Thought it would be worse. Definitely room for negotiation. I do think he'll end up at a bigger club, but would be a coup for us. http://www.tsmplug.com/football/man-city-players-salaries-2014/

I still think Micah Richards would be a good signing for us. Has versatility, still fairly young and I doubt he'd cost the earth either. Salary may prove high, but if he really wants to play...

Welcome Fraser! Great signing, young, Internationally recognised and already proven at the top level. But we do need to keep Boruc too. Play Boruc to the start of September then switch 'em!

This is my view, we may get humped into a drubbing at Liverpool but it shouldn't be panic stations in the slightest. I think we will lose but the effort will be there and we move on to the next fixture. We're still adding to the squad too, so we might be stronger with every game.

Unbelievable. I'd hate to be a Legia fan right now. From a purely selfish point of view our bad summer continues. I hope we can still pursue the Celtic duo or have other targets in mind. If the decision stands through appeal then today is Christmas Day for Celtic fans.

Again? Still.

Get Forster and van Dijk in NOW!

Didn't we go through a period with a lot of double barrelled names in the team too?
