He is one hell of a player, would break our transfer record by about 10m. Inter, AC, Real, Spurs, City all linked with him. He'd command probably about 80k+ per week. Just can't see us paying what himself and his representatives want. We may meet Internactional's asking price, but that's only the easy part. Trying to convince a player of his stature to leave his home country for a middling English club will require lots and lots and lots of $$$$$$$$$

I don't think it's actually that bad?

Only 20mins to go until the club is destined for relegation.

I don't think anyone would really give a crap, other than us. For example, I really don't care what Cardiff have as a kit. Or anyone else for that matter, it doesn't embarrass anyone in my eyes.

It's a football kit. We wear it whilst we are playing football matches, and hopefully winning football matches. It won't stop us breathing, eating, living, or going on our day to day lives. Therefore, I don't really care what it looks like, as long as we win games of football and have an exciting team to follow.

Quick edit there, haven't been on here all day, so just finding out. I've lost my dollar.

This rumour has been floating around for days, but I'll bet my bottom dollar that we will not have any new signings tomorrow. Just a hunch.

I think City paid about £26m for him, but they paid it to that Kia Jorascram bloke (+sp). So that they ended up fully owning the player, as he had only ever been on loan at clubs up until then (West Ham/Utd)

That's brilliant to be fair. Loved that.

Just seen that Tevez is off to Juve for £12m. 12m???? This is the same transfer window in which Carroll cost west Ham 15m. Brilliant. Who says English players aren't overpriced?

He's progressed really quickly over the last 18 months, looks very impressive to me these days. Would like to see him gain a loan at a league club, think he's ready for it.

Exactly, I don't think a transfer committee is a bad thing at all - as long as it's fair, i.e you don't get the chairman trampling over everyone to sign who he wants anyway. But I think ours is pretty fair and well thought out, all our targets are pretty well researched you'd have to say, and apart from a few duds (De Ridder/Dickson etc) on the whole our last few years have been pretty fruitful transfer wise (the players we've bought in have improved us anyway).

To be honest, I'm pretty sure Hooper has been a club-wide target for ages - just as Jay Rodriguez was. Obviously he worked with Adkins etc, but he's a good player, so there's more reason to be after him. And it's pretty obvious that we don't sign players just on the managers decision, so if the manager does leave I can imagine the same targets stay in place - until the club has higher ambitions obviously.

It's my understanding that you are correct.

lol brilliant. Serves him right really, does he not realise how silly he looks?? Always hours behind anything. I could create a twitter feed and do it an hour earlier than him.

O'Neil is still in Winchester, waiting for the call.

To be fair, Louis Suarez is in exactly the same boat. There's not really any excuse for failing to perform against Tahiti!

That was fantastic HT entertainment.

As he does in every, single, game I've ever seen him play. I'm so desperate for him to do well, absolutely dying to see him become a star, but he just doesn't do it for me at all. I keep watching him in the hope he will, but it's always the same. Playing around on the peripheral of the game. Wouldn't really bother me too much if we re-couped in the summer, although I don't think we will - reckon we will persevere.

Gaston subbed, no surprise, he's been rubbish.

Frustratingly, as has been all too familiar to us, Gaston is flattering to deceive, against such awful opponents.

Maybe we're after 2 midfielders? Seems a bit overkill though.

If this is Wanyama's actual twitter feed, he's ''carefully'' retweed some fans (and saints fans) talking about the transfer. But he's made no comment. https://twitter.com/VictorWanyama

​From a Scottish journo/reporter: I believe a deal between the clubs and player is now very close. Others want Wanyama but Saints are in pole position. Top player. We've kind of done this in previous years, got in their first for ''sought after'' players, others then try to bid...but we're just too far down the line. Think this will be finished shortly. (Jack Cork being a recent example, Jay Rodriguez being another...)

Will Spain ever lose a game, at any level???
