Hoedt def bombed out:

Just like the old days! Cheers for the write-up mate.

Ok, stand down. Back to hunting for a club for Forster.

Good stuff. Only heard a tiny bit of the presser so literally only heard the Bertrand bit. Perfect time for Sam (if he's anywhere near match-fit) with our current striker availability.

Ralph says Bertrand isn't match fit for LCFC. Obafemi is out a little longer than we had thought initially.

Ighalo?

Good write-up. I'm still trying to think of any examples on £20m keepers who were signed to be No.2 though. (I'm sure there have been examples).

Interesting shout. What would he be worth in today's market though? A keeper in and around the England squad must be £20m by today's standards? Unless literally a loan to move his wages is what we'd be looking for?

Simon Peach & Radio Solent both saying expect it to be a permanent deal rather than loan w/ obligation. I suppose you can look at the obligation from both sides.

Davis was probably on 60k. Gabbiadini similar, maybe more.

So, if we really are tempted to sell Macca to raise funds.... Where's he likely off to? Any of the top 6 need an English keeper to sit on their bench?

Cabbage is actually ITK!?!? So who are we selling Macca to? I'd ask you about incomings, Guan, but you've already had your 3 posts for the day!

Fee explained.

Fee explained.

Chinese bid for Arnautovic.

No Berty in training pics. Lemina is there though.

Very true. I think chopping & changing managers hasn't helped any of them, but largely, I don't think we loaned some of them out early enough.

I'm assuming we will loan them all out again.

This is very likely the only chance we would have of getting him -- If Everton sign a new attacking wide player. As you say, Brahimi & Malcom from Barca are linked. I'd say any move for Lookman is more likely in summer (if we survive). Everton said last night they are more focused on the summer market than January.

Facebook very reliable for rumours How much would he realistically cost?

The same Crystal Palace who spent a total of £9m in the summer & who have had to loan out a striker to make room for a potential new signing?

Financial fair play.

This is true, but that must be offset by their £100m (!) summer spend.

He's def back training.

How many loan players can you get from the same prem side?
