Who is Alex Scott? I see her everywhere and I still don't know who she is. She played for England women was all I could ascertain.

We are actually playing quite well but as usual with these sorts of games we haven't scored and made it count.

I think he knows what I'm doing when I just randomly engage him in conversation about saints! It normally makes up a very small amount of our overall chats. Let's just wait and see what happens by tomorrow its more fun that way! The only thing he said to me was two out and two in. Diallo and rlc would fulfil that if we get rid of boufal and hoedt.

I said we were interested and I was speculating that we would still go for him. The fact he's starting today though suggests we've gone for diallo instead. I haven't spoken to my mate for a week or two so any info I have is out of date.

Like who? Not sure if we are definitely going for rlc but if we do as many have said he seems to tick a lot of the boxes for the type of player we are looking for. If we don't currently have the cash for both a dm and a decent player like rlc then surely this makes sense for both parties?

If it's a decent player that will improve us for a season or no player then I'm taking the player please. Think back to when we failed to get a fonte replacement in that January window a few years back and everyone would have taken a decent player on loan from a bigger club. It's the same thing.

TBF you may be right. The fact he came to us though and not a higher profile club is due to the aforementioned issues.

I said when we got him that it would be mid October probably after the break. He's had some injury issues which is why we got him for the price we did but it isn't as bad as was initially feared. It takes a while to get up to speed with things.

It's because he's so maddeningly inconsistent. Sometimes he goes through periods where he looks great and dangerous and other times it's extended periods of dross. I think someone mentioned before that he may have some mental toughness issues and possibly he's a confidence player but it is very nanoyobg when he doesn't get the most out of his ability.

I think we can all agree that a DM and any sort of attacking midfielder or winger would be a satisfactory window.

We've been desperate for competition for redmond for ages. Anything that provides that will fill a large hole in the squad.

We haven't yet shifted carillo, forster, hoedt, Boufal etc so I'm happy with a loan and hopefully we will be in a better position next year.

Surely not another cb?

Not yet but I'll say if I do.

Speaking of which, we are dumping under armor in case anyone was wondering.

Maybe we agreed the fee before we hit a snag with the work permit and weren't prepared to pay a significant extra amount? I don't know.

Or maybe they agreed to sell him to us cheaper and we didn't want to pay a ton more just for the work permit?

Is there any discretionary element involved or an appeals process?

I know we were interested but it's just speculation on my part at the moment.

I still think we will get Ntcham as well. Woild be a pretty good window if we pull that off.

I still think we could assist league one and below. Not many of them are stinking rich.

To be honest we never replaced Tadic.

Call it what you want but it's still positive (and will hopefully lead to others.) I think you're missing my point somewhat by picking up on semantics of one minor point in my post. It's true to say that the trump regime has done some positive things that I would agree with.

Getting middle Eastern countries to recognise Israel is pretty positive and likely to lead to more peace. Agreed?

And we won away at turf Moor!
