SuperSAINT

Curious to see what type of striker... Pelle-esque? Someone speedy? Something a little different to what we have? Experienced player on loan? Young prospect for the future?

Thought that for a while - But with Forster coming back, surely now is the time to do it?

Guess this is who he mean't?

PARDEW: NO INTEREST IN AUSTIN Strong words from Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew this afternoon, as he says his club have no interest in QPR striker Charlie Austin. Former Palace boss Neil Warnock had suggested Austin would be a good addition for the Eagles. "Warnock was a manager here, and he didn't do very well, so I'm not really interested in his opinion," Pardew said. "Charlie Austin is of no interest to us."

I'd agree with that. Osvaldo & Gaston are/were on that too, I believe.

Is there a press conference today?

I never know how accurate sportwitness is, but I like them regardless because they always come up with player links no-one else has reported.

This!

Surely we'll try and find a league 1 club for him? Same with Jack Stephens? Not sure kids who can't get championship games are quite ready for the Prem yet.

I just don't get why he doesn't knuckle down until the summer. History shows that's when we sell, and for big money.

Watford & Palace in for Adebayor? http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jan/05/emmanuel-adebayor-watford-crystal-palace?CMP=share_btn_tw

Like him, but I'd wonder why we were not putting down £8m for Austin.

Thanks for posting on those 2. Good to read.

& Remy, apparently.

Jorge Sampoli is a very good shout. If we keep heading into trouble I honestly wouldn't mind bringing Moyes or Brendan Rodgers back to his spiritual home.

WATFORD IN TALKS FOR MARIO SUAREZ Sky sources understand Watford are in advanced talks with Fiorentina for midfielder Mario Suarez. The deal for the Spain international is believed to be a loan with a view to a permanent move. Suarez has been on the fringes of the team in Florence after joining the club from Atletico Madrid.

Isn't Bielsa a bit 'quirky' though?

Agree. English too and a relative bargain at £3.75m.

I wonder where we stand on our wages in regards to FFP? I saw West Ham owner say they can't spend a penny more on wages unless they shift somebody out.

Release clause is £3.75m.
