It's an interesting point. The way I see it, is we've now put out a strong statement & the ball back in their court - VvD & agent. So he either agrees to it, or with time left in the window, he goes for DEFCON 1 & goes on strike, refusing to play.

I just remembered the tweet wrongly.

@Everton: Welcome to Everton, Gylfi Sigurdsson! #WelcomeGylfi

ARMSTRONG CLOSE TO NEW DEAL Sky sources understand that Stuart Armstrong will be staying with Scottish Premiership champions Celtic after agreeing terms on a new deal. The midfielder, who signed from Dundee United in 2015, will sign his new contract later this week.

Crikey. Then again, last time I saw him linked away was last season & the fee was £10m, so with this season's inflation, £35m is probably right

He would?!

When you spend your budget for your defence on full-back's & realise you've forgotten to buy a centre-back...

Interesting to see the sale going on at PSG for them to desperately claw some FFP monies back after the Neymar deal. Surprised Prem sides aren't all over Grzegorz Krychowiak.

ITK statement?! - Convict & I knew he was good, but that is some statement

Is he back on side?

Poor lad. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/15476790.Academy_star_talks_of_fresh_injury_pain___but_remains_sure_Saints_will__look_after_me_/?ref=rss Didn't Jamie White have similar injuries a few years ago?

Alan Nixon: Swansea. Trying for Stuart Armstrong at Celtic to replace Sigurdsson. But pressure on as Celtic want him to sign a new deal. #ticktock https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/4255625/swansea-stuart-armstrong-gylfi-sigurdsson-celtic/

Yeah, my review of them (which I don't think is unique) would be: "Both Maya & Jack are good enough... unless we face a big, powerful striker". Nearly all those losses involved us being bullied in the air.

No, it was a re-tweet by somebody. Seemed it was a re-tweet by somebody who knew him. Like I say, lets hope not. Just thought I'd mention it as he wasn't in the U23 squad last night. He deserves better luck. LeG might be able to inform us.

He means last season. (I think?)

Saw a random rumour on Twitter on Sunday that said Jake Flannigan had a recurrence of his bad injury from last year. Unsure if it's true. Hope not.

Very! Good, experienced player, but if we'd been after Carvalho & ended up with Barry I'd be pretty unhappy!

Going on strike is basically the final straw that players like Coutinho & VvD have to force a move, so it wouldn't surprise me if this happens.

Virgil will read that and a light-bulb will appear above his head.

That price is last season. Could put +£10m on that price, IMO.

Pretty sure Carroll is out. Antonio is back. Hopefully Lanzini misses the game as well.

@NUFC: Newcastle United can confirm the signing of forward @JoseluMato9 on a three-year deal from @stokecity #NUFC #125YearsUnited
