Given our record, you'd be wise to clump for the former...

Based on his Euro's I think. And probably because they'd think no one would be daft enough to agree to it. well....

£30m for Sissoko to Everton. That price is simply down to his Euro's display, no one would pay that much if it was just based on his Newcastle days. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

We were not going to get ready made replacements, a like for like. We will improve the players we signed as we have to most of the players we've signed over recent seasons. It's the same old assumption that for e.g, the Redmond we saw at Norwich is the maximum of his actual ability. The amount of stick Pelle used to get on here ''He's holding us back'' ''We're not going forward with him in the side'' - and now he's gone, he's being predictably used as a stick to beat the club with (that's not directed at you at all, but some others are saying as much). Hypocritical to the extreme, just to try and make their points valid from 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure we ''built' the squad up last year to cope with, what we expected, was going to be a run in Europe. The key point is that the number of players we have in the squad hasn't reduced.

Ok, I see what you mean now.

Huh? Not sure if you're saying that in jest or not, but we play 3 away and 3 home against the 3 other teams in our group.

Jesus christ, they're really scraping the barrel now aren't they.

'much weaker squad' - how do you define that exactly? We were going out in the market and buying a ready made mane, so if you were expecting that then ok...we're a lot weaker, but I don't think many people were.

The fact you associate bad news with getting yourself a reward/a nice little earner says it all.

As always is the case.....

That just went quiet, think it was an alternative to something. No idea.

Sounds like Everton are panicking. Didn't Koeman say he was hoping for 4 or 5?

Ungrateful ****.

Callum McManaman I'd assume, think he's off somewhere (or has already gone, lost track)

He wasn't though, was he. Unless you're confusing him with Jack Schitt, who was indeed full of schitt.

Bemused is one way of putting it!

The ownership of Villa will not end well. Which is why I still believe we got f**ing lucky. In fact, we flaming struck gold. We could have landed one of these nutters.

All this ''We understand'' ''I understand'' ''Our sources have told me'' ''It's understood'' from Sky Sports new is annoying as ****. They have actually been known to make stuff up on deadline day, I cannot find the article now but there was a club who totally denied there ever being a potential move. It's just for their viewing figures, when today is really no different to other days in the transfer window. All you get happening today (in the main) is chuff and crap, who are made to sound like world beaters and turn out to be flops 80% of the time

Stoke have got Bony.

I lost track of Saint Charlie's accounts, he admitted to having 3 or 4 a while ago. Anyone who feels the need to post as different ''personalities'' at the same time on an internet forum is funny in the head.

Manolo Gabbiadini will not go to Everton. The English club announced at Napoli want to forgo the purchase attacker's 24-year old, tired of repeated delays suffered by negotiation that could have been closed based on 25 million euro. http://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/30-08-2016/napoli-gabbiadini-niente-everton-nessun-colpo-attacco-sarri-160993093828.shtml?refresh_ce-cp

Yeah, worst signing of the window.

Being compared to Les Reed is the biggest insult known to man. He is single handily killing football in this country. Steven Gerrard never reached the top with the national team because Les destroyed him emotionally. Oh, and he smells.

He'll sit around in the dump which is the Hawthorns for another few months, before we go through this all over again. I thought he should have gone in this window (although he still may) but the longer he stays at WBA, he's killing his career. The kid has ability, but he's finished at WBA. Listen to the reaction he got when he was brought on at the weekend and the boo's directed at him when he misplaced a pass.

Brighton have rejected the bid and his transfer request. To be fair, he was always a tidy player - was amazingly good for Brighton last year.
