Getting frustrated over his lack of chances. After one game?!

SUNDERLAND ACCEPT KABOUL BID Sunderland have confirmed that they have accepted a bit from Watford for defender Younes Kaboul and have agreed to let him speak to the club about personal terms to complete the deal. Speaking to the club's official website, Kaboul said: “This is not an easy situation for me, but the club and the manager have shown an understanding of my personal circumstances and I am grateful for that. “The Sunderland fans have supported me fantastically well since I came to the club, they gave me my passion back and I sincerely thank them for that. I hope they understand that I have made this incredibly difficult decision for me."

It's funny, it's such a sellers market at the moment isn't it? Liverpool wouldn't have got anywhere near £32m for him if it wasn't for the TV mega-money upload. They knew Palace would buckle & pay it too. I really like him - He should suit Palace and their strikers have been woeful for a long time. Benteke's biggest problem is he seems to get injured a fair bit though.

£27m (+5m) in add-on's apparently. This is incredibly un-cool of me and will get me lynched about these parts - But I'm a little jealous of that deal.

POCH WANTS THREE MORE Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham could sign as many as three more players before the transfer window closes in just under two weeks. "I am very happy [with Tottenham's transfer activity this summer]. I know this is difficult in this crazy business that today is football," the Spurs boss said. "We try [to bring more players in]. We hope to sign one, two or three players - or maybe no-one. It depends on many things that will happen. We will try to find some players to sign."

Yeah, it's very strange that he hasn't been picked up yet. #ZiyechWatch

Also from the article: - Staff were told not to expect more signings but situation could change.

Came on last night as sub and got an assist as Blackburn lost 2-1/

We need to keep him. There's going to be a lot of games coming up. He's only been here a year. Assess him, and make a decision at the end of the season. You would have thought this formation would suit him.

In some ways, this formation & style should suit him as it involves lots of passing in midfield. He does seem to get linked away every window without much substance though.

Maybe the box throws the names out there and the scouts then put the eyes on them.

West Ham's Andre Ayew out for 4 months.

No. We are going to miss Big Vic. Højbjerg would have still been a great signing had we of kept Vic IMO.

You said we would sign Kostic #ITK_Watch

He went for £9m, so I would agree.

We were told about a "new direction" quite some time ago.

SCHLUPP ‘DEEPLY UNHAPPY’ Sky sources are telling us that the Leicester winger Jeff Schlupp is “deeply unhappy” at his club’s refusal to allow him to talk to West Brom, who have seen two bids for the player – the latest worth £12million - rejected by the Premier League champions. The 23-year-old was told recently by manager Claudio Ranieri that he could not guarantee him first team football, and that he would be better off looking for a new club if he wanted to play regularly. Leicester seemed ready to negotiate with West Brom when they made their latest bid last Friday. Schlupp was even removed from the matchday squad for Saturday’s Premier League opener at Hull with expectation that the deal would go through on Monday. It appears now that Leicester have taken a different view by turning down West Brom’s offer and insisting that Schlupp sees out the remaining three years of his contract. The Ghana international has been at Leicester since signing youth forms in 2005. He featured in 23 games for the club last season.

Those 2 signings would be fantastic. I'm not sure what to make of the Diamond formation yet, but I'm fairly sure one of the striker roles would be perfect for Berahino. I'm not convinced he can play a lone striker role & he doesn't like playing on the wing, so one of the 2 striker roles in our team would suit him down to the ground. He's young, English and if we can bring the best out of him, would probably be worth a fortune in re-sale value.

It wasn't much of a mystery

I would like us to sign him, but this is what I got told about Berahino in early July:

ROJO STAYING PUT? Sky sources understand that Man Utd defender Marcos Rojo is not aware of any swap deal involving Southampton's Jose Fonte - as has been reported today. Earlier in the window, Rojo was assured he was not on the market and United communicated this to interested clubs. Nothing has changed from the player's point of view. He wants to stay and fight for a starting place.

WEST BROM INTERESTED IN SLIMANI Sky sources are telling us there is interest from West Brom in Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani. We're told the clubs are not far apart in their valuations of the player. West Brom are deciding whether to proceed given Slimani would miss a month in the New Year to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations.
