Ah, off go West Ham again.

He'll earn less at Liverpool than he could have earned at Arsenal. (If it's Chamberlain you're talking about)

He wants to join Swansea apparently. Watch this space I guess...

That's the fella. He's supposedly highly rated, which is why I found it surprising to read 2 days ago that Fulham are trying to sign him...!

To be honest, Sheffield Wednesday is a good club with a good manager. He'll get game time there and it will be interesting to see how he does. Not sure this makes an addition any more likely, I think we're just trimming the squad down a little.

They've got a good CB....! Don't know many of their other players tbh.

Good loan signing for WBA in my opinion. Adds presence to their midfield.

Ah yes, sorry...

TBF, Paul Mitchell has long gone hasn't he? Sure he's unemployed now...

That was incredible really. The only reason he did the original u-turn was because City withdrew their interest. Then once they came back in again, he flip flopped again. He deserves all the abuse he gets from Villa fans.

Easy money though isn't it. He's on upwards of 80k to do pretty much nothing. He seems that sort of guy to me, not bothered about playing, just wants the money.

Talented young CB. They've been after him all summer haven't they? I'm sure I read they'd pulled out of it in July.

Interesting that it made a note of a 'potential' relationship brewing with Club Brugge?

So in effect, we're going to get money from Liverpool in this window whatever happens. They can't help themselves. Who needs a sugar daddy when you have Liverpool.

I've always like Kondogbia to be honest. Thought he looked really good for Valencia against Real at the weekend. Powerhouse of a midfielder.

....

I think he's been given lots of chances. The one who I'd love to see given a real chance is Hojbjerg.

To be fair, I wouldn't have ever classed Jordy as a holding midfielder. Him, Pierre and JWP - to me - are very much the same type of player. There's no weakening of the squad by letting clasie go, in my opinion.

Yeah, pretty sure the big money move was to Porto. Didn't settle there, so stoke grabbed him. Didn't settle there and now he's at toulouse.

Missed that post, but yeah, that's an incredibly strange post.

He was known as the dutch 'Xavi', not an attacking midfielder as such, more of a CM who can sit and dictate the tempo. Which he probably did in Holland. But he lacked the presence in this league and as Chez put earlier, games just passed the lad by at this level.

That update from Kevin Palmer was truly click bait. Just his views on it, no actual news. I don't want to tempt fate here, but I'd expect to start hearing some genuine bits of info this evening if this is going to happen.

Mane won us the penalty against Arsenal on his debut, he was pretty good that day. As with all new players coming into English football, he suffered ups and downs - some quite glaring downs, but he was always the sort of player who could produce the unexpected. There was a poster on here in the December who claimed he was the worst player since Ali Dia. He seemingly wasn't alone in that view either. Surprisingly, once Mane then went on to score the quickest ever hat trick he went silent and hasn't been seen since. Mane was never gash, just had the typical ups and downs of form players of that type will have. He is still hugely missed.

Probably not many takers for a full transfer to be honest. It's probably more of a decision for Jordy, he's been told he won't play much, so will likely explore any opportunity which will allow him game time.

Nice click-bait tweet from Kevin Palmer...
