Saint Scott

This!

Liverpool have just signed Assaidi. Confirmed on SSN. Can't see them going for Ramirez now.

Sounds feasible.

Wasn't in the squad according to sky sports scorecentre app.

Seems I may well be psychic!

The fact Gaston has come out with several quotes such as I want to be in the starting XI so saints is the best place to come and he wants to help us grow and be the star means he's obviously spoken to NC and NA. I wouldn't be surprised if he was already in the country. All the talk of NC being on holiday at the wrong time too. I bet he finished his holiday, flew straight to Italy and started the ball rolling. All of this makes me think this has been under way for quite some time. Probably has only just come out as Ramirez was waiting to see what happened with Spurs. My thoughts anyway.

What time is the press conference? Hopefully NA can tie up some loose ends.

Banish those post-Olympic blues; the Premier League is back. Sergio Aguero's last gasp heroics at the City of Manchester Stadium will forever be etched in top flight folklore but at the weekend it all counts for nothing as the 2012/13 season gets underway in earnest. The European Championship and a number of high-profile transfers has whetted the appetite over the summer, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal (albeit before losing Robin van Persie) all having made significant captures as they look to close the gap on Roberto Mancini's champions. For Tottenham and Liverpool it's a case of stepping into the unknown as Andre Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers usher in new eras at White Hart Lane and Anfield respectively. Aston Villa, Norwich, West Brom and Swansea also welcome new bosses into the dugout, while Newcastle have been able to keep hold of all of their top players as they look to build on a thrilling past campaign. Elsewhere, new boys Reading, Southampton and West Ham will bid to continue a welcome trend of recent seasons that has seen promoted clubs hold their own with the big boys. Everton and Fulham will look to kick-on in that understated and dignified way they have made their own over the past few campaigns, with Sunderland and Stoke City looking to make improvements on less than spectacular past terms despite only modest investment. Our comprehensive club-by-club guides look back at what has transpired over the pre-season and, more importantly, forwards ahead of what should be another thrilling nine months of top class football.

Adam Johnson insists he does not want another season of being a bit-part player at Manchester City. by Tweet me @skygraemebailey 10:02 AM Get him in too!

Does he have to be signed by midday today even though we play Sunday to be eligible for City?

The9 must know what the reliability of these rumours are. Would be an incredible signing!

Wolves really are holding out for a ridiculous sum of money. Not only Jarvis but Fletcher too.

Throw him in part-ex.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7992592/Modric-set-for-Real-switch No mention of Ramirez lined up to replaced Modric. Just mentions that AVB has already signed Sigurdsson and that hes keen on Moutinho, who would cost a huge chunk of Modric's potential fee and I'd imagine would demand a higher wage that Ramirez would.

Better hope his agent is discussing a deal as we speak on NC's boat then.

I could spare a few hours.

Chelsea were given a transfer embargo for 2 windows after the tapping up of Ashley Cole. Abramovich, Mourinho, Cole and his agent secretly met in a hotel. But after appeal the embargo was lifted. Cole was fined £100,000 and obviously is relationship with Arsenal became sour. If this is the punishment for secretly meeting which I highly doubt we would have done I can't see us getting into any trouble at all. I'd just like to add I'd be shocked if NC conducted any business like this. I think we have nothing to worry about.

In the fa cup a couple of years back a united fan friend of mine got us tickets in the away end and I can assure you near enough every fan in there was a manc. Sadly their atmosphere seemed a lot better than ours.

Yes sorry. I'm on the database. Okay so would this still allow me to buy 2 tickets?

May seem a bit of a silly question but I don't get to come to alot of games so was unsure. A friend and I are hoping to get tickets for Man United at home. I am a member but he isn't. Can you only buy 1 ticket per member for general sale or will I be able to try and get 2?

Tbh I think the better option would be to get Hoilett off Blackburn. It will be less than the £7.8M PSV want. He's got premier league experience and looked a stand out player in an extremely poor Blackburn team. Lens is also 2 years his senior. At the end of the day Lens may look good in the Dutch league but he's not raved about as much as players like Luuk De Jong. He may well be a massive flop. Just my two penneth.
