I don't think people are denying that Villa are a bigger club, they are. But he needs to employ a bit of common sense with his comments given that he's still contracted to us, this is only a loan at the end of the day. But given his defending over the last so many (too many) years, he doesn't seem to have any common sense so probably no surprise.

It's comments like that which make you wonder if he was the 'leak'. He's been a consistent cog in one of the worst defences the PL has ever seen, so he should have a look in the mirror before hitting parting shots. A truly dire defender.

Are Bournemouth really that skint? I'd have taken 1-2m for him, or less for a loan fee. Sounds like they only wanted to play if it was £0

They've signed a midfielder to cover their injured midfields who is actually injured himself. More Liverpool utter waffle from the media.

He's a good player, adds to the profile of player we've added this summer - athletic, quick, physical etc. The added bonus is that he can cover wing back if required, but I imagine we'll primarily use him in CM what with Romeu gone - but he does give us some great depth all across the middle third of the team. A clever addition imo.

Lol. Best to ignore twitter today.

I win!

Sweepstake for the first announcement? I'm going AMN. Unless we do them all at once in a bumper 4 for the price of 1 announcement.

I knew Theo and Redmond would remain, once clubs find out how much they're on they realise it's impossible to do.

Let's see what happens! My betting is that both Theo and Redmond will still be here tomorrow and that will be that. I don't think financially either will work for Bournemouth or WBA, they're simply paid too much.

If we are potentially looking to move out Theo and Redmond then you'd have to assume we have another attacker lined up (in addition to Edozie), otherwise it's a bit bonkers.

Just to share this again...

Chelsea are run by a load of clowns nowadays, they had a somewhat decent footballing background with Buck, Mariana and Cech fronting up the transfer side of things. They've now got a random yank trying to play football manager, hence the waffle attempt (if true) to sign JWP as they are flapping around like idiots.

I assumed he'd joined, but obviously not. In that case that's why owners of football clubs should keep their mouths shut on social media.....

It's done and dusted, time to forget this one for everyone's sanity!

That was made up nonsense then!

Bit harsh. He gave his all whenever he played, was part of some proper backs to the wall performances from us. Limited, yes, and we have needed better than him. Wish him all the best though, hope he gets the games at Bournemouth.

Absolutley terrible move in my eyes. I don't know what Fulham have seen as he was simply inept at Arsenal and was hounded out in Brazil for being shit.

Leeds United chairman replying to tweets now.

Yeah, this Rob fella was on Solent this morning discussing transfers with Blackmore.

I think it's a bit daft to say only 2 of the players we've bought in are 'better' than what we had. Lis - quite clearly an upgrade on Harry Lewis. Bazunu - huge upgrade on McCarthy, that's not even up for debate. So we've got better there. ABK - huge upgrade on Bednarek, absolute no debate there either. Lavia - We've lost Romeu ( ) and Smallbone on loan, and brought in Lavia. Have to say that's an upgrade. Aribo - We needed extra in the 10's, at the end of the day he's no worse than Redmond, Theo, Elyounoussi - so we've upgraded with that one. Mara - If you look at him being the 'long' replacement then he's a significant upgrade on him. Of the potential incomings... AMN - Adds even more quality in CM which we didn't have before, and extra cover at full back. Caleta-Car - We'll have replaced Jack Stephens with a Croatia international centre back. Edozie/Larois - Young players to add a bit more depth, replaces the squad places that Tella and Small took up last season. We are still short at the top end, but all of our signings so far have been upgrades on who they've replaced.

Transfer deadline day - day of stupid.

Wow, that was tough viewing!

It's not out of the realms, but it's an incredibly unlikely situation.
