RE: Boos for Puncheon, people are quite rightly not going to forget his behaviour overnight. Booing him might be extreme but I for one am not going to forget his petulance in a hurry. He needs to respond by putting in good performances.

Generic link between clubs with money and a player in form.

That's not exactly a clue though, we don't comment on individuals. Hooper was a bit of a one off because it was such big news up in Scotland.

He doesn't like direct questions. I'm still waiting to hear back about all the teams that would finish below us with that 17th prediction.

If this was a Facebook comment, I would have 'liked' this.

Then surely he's taking a big risk by saying it again.

Very true, and Lee Holmes, unless I was mistaken? I remember Adam Blackmore asking about him and Forte at the same time.

He's gone there on loan, yes.

Yet another pointless thread that could have been a post in the January window thread. I'll treat it as if it was in the January thread though, just in this one instance. Do I want Kevin Davies back and should we get him back? NO.

Nice interview that. A goal a game, it's ambitious to say the least.

I can't imagine it's true that they're willing to spunk £7 million up the wall for one single player. Not even them.

Gold or Sullivan, one of the two, told Hammers fans today to expect at least one major signing in the next two days.

I'm afraid that's actually Mr. Puncheon's number, according to Jordan Sibley.

My honest advice, being as nice as I can, is that you be wary of the Russian. I know for a fact that BBC Solent asked the FA if they were going to conduct a fit and proper persons test, they said at the time they just weren't bothered. I realise the guy passed the test, but it's so flawed (look at Portsmouth) and there's evidently a lackadaisical approach to it. I'd find it hard to celebrate your new found wealth when Eddie Mitchell carries on as he does and Denim is nowhere to be seen.

If the day ever came when we had to rely on Bournemouth, it'd be a very dark one indeed. And yes, we are the bigger club. Not really much to debate there Simon.

Given their attitude last season I really wish we wouldn't keep lending them players, whether they pay for them or not. It's pretty clear they'd never help us out.

No, not because I said it won't happen. Because it's very unlikely for one thing and as for locking this thread, this new rubbish about Wikipedia is better proof than anything else. It's absurd. There are certain posters on this forum that feel as though they just HAVE to contribute and HAVE to start threads. Look at the fallout from the Leicester game, 14 or 15 new threads, many of which shouted 'LOOK AT ME!'. Half of them could have been posts in the January transfer rumours thread. Others just have to point out when someone makes a slight slip when typing, some have to be seen as the ones to start threads and they're always about things people already know or don't need to read. This thread is just drivel. There is no news, so there is no point in making it look as if there IS news. I appreciate that this is a forum and people have every right to post whatever they want but I'd at least like to see people thinking before typing or having something useful to say or talk about. I'm interested to know who you think I am, but by my very own admission I am nobody special. Sorry people but I just think this has gone on long enough, that's all.

And I suggest you be a little less disrespectful.

When we played West Brom in 06/07 there were a fair few trying to watch Junichi Inamoto. One of them didn't have accreditation so bought a ticket to sit in the stand and write copy on him.

I'm pretty sure it won't happen. This thread should have been neglected or locked long ago.

Jason Pearce is really overrated. I saw him for an entire season when he was at Bournemouth and he just about stood out in League One. There's very little chance if any that he'll be a Premier League footballer in the future.

Lee, Lee, Tadanari Lee, comes on a free, hates Pompey, Tadanari Lee!

How good does that look? Badass. Also it's a FREE TRANSFER. I hope it proves to be a fantastic bit of business, but you never know. Look at Abe, formerly of Leicester...

From Twitter, to kill the Jorgensen rumour stone dead: @Paramount_SM "Zanka Jorgensen hopes to conclude a pre contract to PSV. He has offers from all the major leagues including the Premier league"
