Well now they'll have to earn a place in the team, if they can't do that or get stroppy they'll be moved on.

When you mentioned Mayuka the other day you said you'd heard about interest in Aubameyang, heard anymore on him?

f5ing like mad for Emile Heskey announcement we all secretly wanted!

Ramirez? Mayuka? or someone we haven't seen mentioned?

Appears to be the case, given the player himself is only talking about QPR interest.

Also wouldn't be surprised if SDR leaves before window shuts, extremely telling that he can't even make the bench in a purely second string squad.

This. Would much rather have kept Martin at the club this season.

I know it's google translated or w/e but it seems like he doesn't understand why it still hasn't completed.

In terms of wingers that CDAJFU, SSN breaking news thing just said Swansea and Man City have been unable to negotiate a deal for Scott Sinclair. Last year of his deal, doesn't want to stay at Swansea etc etc get in there NC/NA.

Was this mentioned on the channel? I can't find anything on their website about it.

FWIW Nixon said we did have a look at this guy when the scouts were there watching Tello, but he did not impress.

Would perhaps hold fire on a deal done thread until it's confirmed on the OS

Does the Eredivisie have a sticker collection? If so was his sticker a shiny because if not he can just turn around and walk the other way.

http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/RulesandRegulations/FARegulations/NewsAndFeatures/2009/work_permits_players.aspx relevant bits: Will probably need to go to a Panel, which means he needs to fill the following; He'll probably get approved by a panel, however I don't know how long that takes.

Thanks for the summary. Looks like if we sign him and he recovered well, he could be a good addition to the team.

Going off names in the press etc the candidates would appear to be Ramirez Dann Boliesen Fontas Mayuka Aubameyang Olsson Phillips Think we'll sign 3/4 this week.

Yeah he still has to get through the medical and contract details will have to be sorted etc, but with news of a breakthrough between the us and Bologna it feels like after a week of uncertainty a huge hurdle has been cleared on this.

Nor should we care too much, appears we allegedly "blinked" over a couple million euros we hardly agreed to double the offer or do anything crazy.

I think that only applies to individuals owning players like Kia Joorbichan did with Tevez and Mascherano, could be totally wrong though.

Man City fan decides Ramirez to Saints is ruining football.

Do you have ITK knowledge?

Cortese isn't the only stubborn negotiator in football as this saga has shown. Sometimes you just have to know when to back down.

I guess the agent told Cortese that the chairman was absolutely not going to budge.

Not a chance this is true, we'd look like idiots for selling our best striker to an nPC team for any amount let alone for pittance plus a reject.
