5 points to Bournemouth in 9th and 6 points to West brom in 20th. So many teams are taking points off each other. There could be some real shocks for relegation. Swansea were written off 5 games ago and now they've just taken 7 points when they probably predicted to get 1 at most. This is going to be a really interesting end to the season. Just a shame we're involved in it.

He gave an interview post match to sky (score centre app) didn't rule out signings before the deadline but he looked defeated. He must surely go but how many times have we said this and the chuckle brothers don't seem to take notice.

He doesn't seem to be in a rush to make his flight

I'll take perisic

Surely if the clause actually exists and it is the 35 million quoted spartak have no say. So either it is higher, we haven't met the 35 but have agreed to between the £25million and £30 million to activate the clause or it just doesn't exist. Surely it must be the latter as for the sake of a couple of million we could get him now.

I wonder if Leicester reject this 'final' mahrez bid if he would come in for Redmond. He supposedly wants cover due to sane being out for 6 weeks.

Everton now trying so sign mangala on loan. BFS doesn't seem to like Michael Keane. HCDAJFU?

Of course they have. But deadline day is a strange one. Putting pressure on and leaking to the media your interest can unsettle the player. Every other team does it why shouldn't we?

If this is dead in the water we should move on. I'd be looking at pushing Fulham on sessegnon or dembele from Celtic. However window after window it seems more and more like Les always has his eggs in one basket and 90% of the time we miss out. This window we can't afford to.

La Liga blocked the transfer. So psg and Neymar had to go around it by getting Neymar to buy out his contract. So I imagine that was actually the case. Crazy!

Why does everybody keep saying £30 million. His release clause is €30 million, so just over £26 million. Also the wages he's supposedly after don't match our top earners so I can't see that being a problem. £20 million plus on a transfer fee seems unlikely from us though. Everton will probably sign him on deadline day just to be *****.

If Walcott was a smoke screen for this then fair enough. Younger, player of the year in Russia and can find the net. £30 million seems unlikely though. But, as others have said £30 million is the new £15 million. Inflations a *****! Get it done Les and claw some of the respect from the fans back.

DONE DEAL - 3 and a half year contract http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11211390/theo-walcott-joins-everton-from-arsenal-on-three-and-a-half-year-deal http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42715223 I'd be intrigued to know if we were ever actually in for Theo. £20 million is peanuts in the current market. A massive opportunity missed here IMO.

Huddersfield have already agreed a deal for Pritchard so can't see them letting Maddison go too. Having said that he looks some player. Maybe reed could put a good word in.

I agree he could go to better clubs but he has the history as a school boy and shined for us at the age of 16. It's a world cup year and probably his last chance at one so we in his and his agents eyes could see us being the perfect club for that. He will be seen as the 'star player' and if he can project us up the league come may then Southgate will have no option but to take him to Russia. If he were to go to an Everton or west ham with a much larger squad is he guaranteed to start week in week out? Secondly he will see the success of players getting into the England squad such as Bertrand who was in a similar situation at Chelsea. He needs game time and thats what I think it will boil down too. He's just the player we need. Direct and uncomfortable for defenders, can play anywhere in the front 4 and will give us the confidence we need going forward. Wages is the only issue I forsee. All IMO of course.

Interestingly Paddy Power have suspended betting on Walcott to us. Loan deals do count.

The advert was produced a while back now. I'm sure our stance may have changed back and forth a lot since then with everything that has happened. From Tom's post it seemed Kat was Happy to sell to Liverpool however she is no longer in control so everything has changed.

Not sure on the pronunciation but this is fitting

With the takeover complete id like the new owners to bring in gylfi as a welcome gift. That would be a great way to show us their ambition for the club

Lacking that creative midfielder. Just give Clement the £40 million for gylfi after the game

I'd much prefer a 10, we have some quality out wide already, I'd even include Bertrand and Cedric in that. VVD and Long out Gylfi and Davinson Sanchez in That would be a top window and financially viable as the money out would be about the same as the sales of those two, but it won't happen.
