:D

1 year deals are all the rage. So I guess this is bye-bye Gazza? (Even though, I've no idea why we needed another if Macca is fit again?)

WHU IN ADVANCED TALK FOR CARVALHO We understand West Ham are in advanced talks to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho. The Hammers are believed to be prepared to pay £30m up front, with add-ons taking the deal closer to his £40m release clause. West Ham have already had a £27m offer rejected and Carvalho is not in Sporting squad for tomorrow's first-leg Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest.

Would love him back, but lacking re-sale value at 28. BIG wages too.

@GuillemBalague: On Jesé: a year loan almost agreed, but PSG want 2 recoup the £22m they paid. He spoke to Karanka last season and has fancied EPL since then

Yeah, wasn't saying he should be a target, just very surprised he hasn't got a club.

Only just realised he's currently without a club?!

@SkyKaveh: Great signing for Stoke City if they manage to pull it off -favourites to sign ex Real Madrid forward Jesé on loan from PSG

Looks decent to me. Expensive, but that's the market.

This is very true. Forgot them. But would they pay £60m?!

Yeah, we shall see. Re: VvD. Can only imagine 3 foreign clubs could afford VvD. - PSG - Real - Barca

Ta. I'd assume we'd be looking to shift someone out if we land another attacker?

Looks like we failed.... http://senego.com/foot-noah-sur-les-traces-de-son-pere-le-gaucher-magique-khalidou-fadiga_512911.html Yeah, been reported in a few places as back-up. He hasn't been assigned a squad number with us.

Any updates on any of these, Tom?

Wasn't that before the transfer request?

They will pose much more of a threat than Swansea did.

& chances are he won't be rotated much.

They would probably play him at centre-back.

Antonio says he'll be fit for the game for them.

Deja vu with all the "we need to be more clinical" articles running in the media today.
