S-Clarke

I reckon we want him over here before we announce it our side. I imagine its done, everything is signed, now he needs to jump on a jet and stay in a hotel over night. Then we'll get a nice press unveiling tomorrow, just how NC would want. Eyes of the world looking in etc.

From another forum - can't find official confirmation.

Bologna won't agree a loan. They want as much $$$ up front as they can get. With Liverpools offer they'd be getting a loan fee, with the rest being paid in a year. They don't want that, which is the trouble we've had. Reports now suggest we're paying them 12m up front straight away, that's what they want. They will not loan him for a smaller fee. It's a non-story really, hence why it's only on that one random website.

Just a bit...! £20m he was costing at first...

SSN latest - ''Sky sources understand that the deal is close''

Perfect player for their style. Will bag 15+ IMO.

Good news. I must admit I don't know a great deal about him, but he seems to have a very good reputation and looks nice and easy on the eye. Happy with this one, got a hunch that we want 1 more CB/LB though.

Rumour has it that Millwall want Seaborne, which would hint at us getting another CB.

In theory, we do

Yes! just my opinion though I'll add. But I don't think we're too far from it.

ah ok, we're just waiting for the FA to approve the permit as with the Yoshida and Emmanuel signings. Imminent IMO.

lol stop being an idiot. He's signed, get over yourself. The OS wording is just because he hasn't got clearance as yet. Which is a formality.

Wow, it's head to head between me and Itchen_Dan....who will come out on top?

Who knows. The rumour that Millwall want Seaborne may indicate we want more than 1 CB.

I wonder if there will be 126 pages to sign?

It doesn't take much to work it out.

Of course. What will they offer him? 3 bags of wine gums per week? They have no money unless they receive the fee from us.

Fulham being asset stripped on deadline week! Although I guess they have to make way for the mega-bucks signing of Berbatov!

zero chance.

Maicon to City now. Good player.

We are wiring the monies at the moment...please stand by.

Dawson's move is off then, as Kaboul is now injured for months. So they need to keep him now....not sure how motivated he'll be!

I don't think there was ever a great deal in this to be honest. Probably if everything else went to pot.

Not now that we're in the PL. No loan window for us, the squad at midnight on the 1st sept is the squad we have to fly with until January. Under really exceptional circumstances the FA may allow us to have an emergency loan of a GK, but that would require Davis, Gazzenga to be injured. We also have the guy in the development squad.
