This. All day this.

Crikey, Telegraph saying £19m PLUS add-on's. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/01/04/liverpool-pair-dominic-solanke-nathaniel-clyne-close-moves-bournemouth/

Good shout. Hard to say as Defoe is leaving too. Would imagine Wilson more likely to move in the summer, but Chelsea do need a striker.

Chelsea are the ones I look at too. So many players. Chalobah / Bertrand Traore / Batshuayi are players I really wanted us to be after.

Cherries in talks to sign Solanke

https://the72.co.uk/122339/sheffield-united-trying-sign-southampton-republic-ireland-striker/ This link seems to crop up every now & again. I'm not entirely sure they could get anywhere near to paying even 50% of his wages.

Ralph says he should be back training tomorrow.

Ralph from Part 2 of Presser. - Gunn will play vs Derby - Stephens in for Yoshida. - Targett rested and will come back. - Bertrand should start training tomorrow. - Hesketh was involved in today's session - We will decide whether he stays or goes back out on loan. - Decision still to be made on Harrison Reed.

Has been mentioned, is quick for not much money. Fits the criteria.

Cherries loan Defoe to Rangers:

Problem is Fiorentina just signed a striker & Milan are under FFP sanctions. We'll probably have to loan him out. We really struggle to sell players we don't want.

& our problem is that those 3 are going to be difficult to shift.

True. Very thin on the ground for central defenders & centre-mids though.

Squad is quite thin on the ground really. If Hoedt is out of the squad then we really have to play our only available 3 at the back I'd rest Ings & Lemina for sure. Maybe give Sims a run instead of Redmond if he's back. Could play Long AMR & put Austin up top. Maybe Slattery in for JWP or Romeu to save their legs. ---------------------Gunn------------------- ---Bednarek---Vestergaard---Stephens--- Cedric-------------------------------Targett -------------JWP-------Romeu-------------- Redmond-----------------------Elyounoussi -------------------Long----------------------

Wouldn't have thought so. He's playing a few more games now for Everton, isn't he? Can't imagine Everton need the cash, either. Just the sort of player we should be looking at, though.

Would surprise me if Davo isn't a Rangers player by then.

I asked the question last night how he did because I saw Matt Murray on Sky saying he looked really good. It's been interesting how many differing opinions there's been on here.

Davis update from Ralph:

Ralph in the Derby Presser, Re: Signings: "We need more speed, running quality."

I'd seen Big Vic mentioned...

I'm hoping Obafemi is Shane Long, but with technique & goals.
