Pretty sure he was just an assumption from when Nixon said The Don was in Italy, with his cheque-book....

The only times I've seen him play (not recently) - he's been in midfield. I think he'd be a good shout for a loan move to a footballing team to help his development.

The only saving grace if that proves to be true is Arsenal probably wouldn't want Morgan if they sign Wanyama.

There's weird sense of irony when on the day we release Forecast (The proxy for Bale's sell-on clause), Bale himself is linked with a 80-100m move with Real Madrid.

Can remember some fantastic crosses for Lambert from the pair of them.

Agreed - I think we'd be looking at clearing 15-16 players off the books. We'll probably loan a few few out - Think I'm right in saying that since Cortese came in, we've actually only sold 2 players. (Ox & Harding)

I'd not heard of him, just looked him up & found this description on a scouse forum... He's an 23 year old ACM who can play wide as well. I've only seen highlights from Numberg games but he looks a good player! He only moved there last summer but has had a great first season, 10 assists, 4 goals, 81% pass completion rate, very tricky and loves a tackle.

Looks terrible

RIP Ron.

I see what you're saying, but then you might just land yourself a Suarez or a van Nistelrooy.

Historically, I believe the HCDAJFU thread is also the place for all other transfer rumours...

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach #SaintsFC's @Luke_shaw3 out of the England Under-21s squad for Euro 2013. Third time in a row he has pulled out through injury/illness.

Yes please. Eyed up by City, Spurs & Arsenal. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4921410/Roma-star-Miralem-Pjanic-eyed-by-host-of-top-Prem-clubs.html

Agreed.

Ah! - The Alan Nixon ITK debate begins already

Either or both would be great.

I always imagined he'd be a good signing for a Hull or Palace (if they come up). Maybe I'm selling him short a bit.

I understand where you're coming from on this. From the outside-looking-in, his City move seemed like a joke to me. He was never going to get a look in there, IMO. You'd hope he'd get his hunger back if he joined us. The plus would surely be the cheaper transfer fee (compared to say, £12m for Ince) & his versatility. He can probably operate in any of the front 4 positions.

I read that Chaplow apparently signed a year extension, which wasn't publicised. Unsure if that was true at the time.

Don't quote me on this. - Forecast - Richardson - Butterfield - Dickson - Seaborne - Hoskins (I think)

No. Was a very good player for us when we needed him in league 1 though. Cracking goal vs Leeds to get us started in the Championship too. I will remember his time here fondly.

If anyone wins the 'mates with Jose' stakes, it's Steve Clarke @ WBA.

Agree completely. Lukaku is the defintion of "top 4" striker IMO.
