Middlesbrough winning 1-0...we're down to second

Obviously he's not a striker but I was surprised to see that Matt Phillips has joined Sheffield United on loan from Blackpool...

Isn't that what Petr Cech suffered? I can't remember how long he was out for but obviously he still had to wear the head protection even when he did return.

Good shout, he played well for the England Under 21's the other night but not sure whether Hodgson would be willing to let him go.

Afobe, Eccleston or Delfouneso?

Think QPR agreed to cancel his contract by mutual consent and then he joined Swindon on a free.

Just seen it on Sky, awful goalkeeping, went under him.

I guess that means Dickson is off...maybe Barnard on loan too?

Any idea of who's on the bench?

Lukaku....despite what some people seem to think on here.

Would be a like for like replacement though.

Jon Parkin is set to join Cov from Cardiff so it seems Lukas' exit is imminent...

The bid for Maynard is 5.5 million rising to 6 with add-ons apparently. Where did you read about Barnard?

Fourth_Official Fourth Official @ @S13SFC they bid 3m which was rejected and laughed at, we would want around 6m Seems to think they want £6 million which could be why he isn't the number one target. Maybe we still think we can get Rodriguez for less?

That isn't very likely so one of them will be off, probably Butterfield considering he's hardly been involved so far.

Let's hope there's something it in then!

Where did you see this?

Well surely after what happened with Fontaine it would? The guy has to pass a medical.

Only problem might be that he hasn't played this season and by the looks of it may have a broken foot from pre-season.

True. I just can't see why they would want to show those 3 off to the fans when we're already five games into the season. Maybe Fox because he has only joined recently but Cork and De Ridder have made numerous appearances in pre-season and the opening six fixtures. Something must be going on behind closed doors. (Hopefully)

I'm really hoping that with the open training session on Thursday that we have a few surprises to spring, and I wouldn't be shocked if we ended up bringing in 3 players of real quality and Clyne would certainly fit in with that if true.

Let's hope so. Especially as we are meant to be looking at players that will improve us and these two certainly fit the bill.

Nope, I'd rather we pay the £5-6 million it would take to get Rodriguez!

Would smack of desperation if we ended up signing him...
