Craig Gordon and a few defenders please..

Hope we are looking at who is available on a free. Craig Gordon and some defenders please...

I'd be happy with that. Gazza out on loan to a championship side to continue his development

Swansea have said they will have to use the bosman to get a new left back after Talyor was ruled out for quite a while at weekend. Wil be interesting to see who they get.

Gonna stick some cash on him being leader scorer in the league once bookies update their lists. Any winnings will go to his charity. Anyone else wanna do the same?

Thought we might have had one more deal in us today, especially as Adkins implied it was gonna be a late one for us. Maybe someone turned us down? Ramirez in is fantastic, little disappointed Sharp has gone and not surprised by Hammond going.

Essien allowed to leave Chelsea on loan but not allowed to go to arsenal as they are a rival... Yes please!

Right whose next then....

The fact NA has actually talked about it to me means it's all done bar the shouting. Hopefully 1 or 2 others may join too...

So we say we need some premiership experience, and when someone with it in the form of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and West Ham we write them off. crazy! If on loan then hell yeah.

QPR along with everyone else?

It's still better to have plenty of options, just in case we can't get the number 1 target, than just focus on one and then what happens if we don't get him. I expect we will be making our moves today to allow 2 days to try and get everything else sorted. I would worry more if we still hadn't signed them by say midday on Friday....

With 1 or 2 new centre backs to come in and maybe another winger to replace Guly.

South Agent is a well know fake agent.

He isn't an agent just someone pretending to. Also I know wages would be different buy city buying Sinclair for 6.2m good price considering what Phillips is likely to cost us.

Does anyone else get the little box pop up everything they go on? Mentions cookies and normally advertising something. I then have to click enter site to get in.? Its very annoying!

Two centre backs and two wide players is the minimum I reckon. It's gonna be a season defining 5 days IMO...

Maybe he isn't Barca good?

Was there a rumour that our chief scout was in Barcelona a while back? Supposedly looking at Tello according to papers but could have easily been this guy instead?

I'd rather not know what defender to go for than not have any to go for.

So Phillips, Ramirez and a couple of centre backs and everything will be rosey then?

Has he done one? If so, what did he say about the game? Transfers?

Just shows how long deals take then....

Everyone seems to think deals are taking longer and we are losing out on certain players etcc.. The only real difference is the Internet and sites like twitter. In the past u never used to hear about deals until they were done, now days u can read all about stories and rumours on the net. Some true and some false. I'd rather we took our time and got a deal done on terms we were happy with than bend over backwards and agree to terms not suitable for us.
