Do we want Liverpool to beat them tomorrow so the pressure REALLY ramps up on LvG or not?

I've not really kept up with the proposed Liverpool link. Why do they need him exactly? Benteke / Origi / Firmino / Sturridge? When would he play?

Very pleased with this signing - he was the scourge of us for a few years! Seems like a bargain too at £4m. Agree with Ralph too in that it's good to get more English players in.

Nice work mate. Cheers.

Great news if true! I assume he's fit enough to pass a medical?

Bats, I believe Over land and sea did pretty damn good job on this thread for this... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?45712-Keeping-track-of-the-contracts&highlight=keeping+track#.VpkjdfmLTIU Not sure how up-to-date it is (Think Sims signed a new deal, for example) - but it's a good place to start.

& the manager, no doubt.

Ziyech please!

So even though he's barely played, does this mean we'll be looking for a new "No.10"?

Phew! - We all needed that win. Very happy - sets us up for Saturday now. (Great to see Forster back too).

I might have expected that move under **** Advocaat - But under Big Sam?

Better interview with Ronald here by Adam Blackmore: https://audioboom.com/boos/4054737-afcb-striker-officialcwilson-tells-bigadamsport-his-recovery-is-going-well-on-time * Apologies - I just saw Trousers posted in another thread.

Thought the same.

Agree 100%.

Can't remember either - The one thing I do remember is that he did his hamstring quite early on and that ruled him out at least for 6 weeks.

Serious competition when they have Murray & Wilson when he's back fit.

BILIC: WE DON'T WANT AUSTIN West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has declared that the club are not interested in signing QPR striker Charlie Austin in the January transfer window. "He’s a good player and he’s been linked with most other clubs when they get relegated because of his record," said Bilic. "We were among those clubs in the summer, but we have chosen other options and now we are not looking for that kind of player."

SAIVET ARRIVES FOR TOON MEDICAL From Shelvey to another potential incoming at Newcastle now. And Sky Sports News HQ understand they are closing in on the signing of Bordeaux winger Henri Saivet. The Senegal international has arrived on Tyneside for a medical and contract talks.

Not sure how it works with loan players. I'm sure it happened to either Bamford or Afobe where they started a loan at one team in league one, then moved up on loan to a championship side in January. Don't see how this would be different.

Swindon want him back. 2 championship teams also interested. http://m.gazetteandherald.co.uk/sport/14194534.Town_facing_fight_to_snap_up_Stephens_on_loan_again/

Interesting isn't it? Because if we lose the next 2, he might not be here to spend it.
