Can you lot (Alpine, Turkish, CB Fry, Unbelievable Jeff) just exchange phone numbers or Skype details and be done with it? Or even just PM each other so you don't feel the need to score points with the rest of us looking on? Looks like Fat Sam's after Nastasic and Richards from Man City. How they're going to pay their wages alongside The Donkey's, I don't know.

I would imagine the two we're in for are a winger and a right back/general utility defender; we'll be fine for strikers with Pelle, Long and Gallagher, with Rodriguez due back in the not too distant future, Boruc isn't going anywhere and is old and smart enough to give it his best shot when he's needed. Hopefully the Gardos and Fonte pairing will work out, Yoshi's fine as a back up and hopefully RK's smart enough to put Stephens ahead of Hooiveld in the CB pecking order. Heck, Gazzaniga at CB would be preferable.

It's on the BBC's football gossip page; The Sun is their source but that's behind a paywall.

Spurs bid £17m for Schneiderlin. They're having a laugh, right?

You wait till they play us at St Mary's! I have to say, it was bizarre watching Lambert wearing a red shirt with a number 9 on the back. That'll take some getting used to.

About £8m more than he's worth. We can do better.

Line up looks good, bench looks awful. No Boruc, Ramirez, Rodriguez, Reed or Targett - I thought the last two were supposed to be the cat's pyjamas this season?

I like Big Vic. Everyone likes Big Vic. Could be part of the reason Morgan wants out though, he's said more than once that he prefers playing alongside Cork as it gives him more freedom to roam and get forward. When they play together, in last season's 4-2-3-1, Morgan and Vic were arguably the best midfield pairing in the league.

Depends entirely on what happens with Schneiderlin and Boruc, I feel. I think on the whole we are weaker, but our performances and results will be more consistent, especially with two competent goalkeepers and two strikers capable of leading the line, compared to just Lambert last year (ignoring Osvaldo). Last season we had some games where we were easily top 4 quality and some where we were playing like a team in 17th; this season I think (hope) we'll be more like a team hovering around 10th nearly every game.

Excellent news, hope he leaves, would probably mean another team that would finish below us and would mean we keep hold of Jack Cork, which I am very keen to do.

Didn't see this posted up here, apparently Gardos has had a medical for us today.

U21s beating QPR 2-1 at the moment... can someone explain this to me? Billy Sharp scored the first goal - he's 28. Gazzaniga's in goal - 22. I assume I've missed some rule about a certain number of over 21s being allowed to play?

Love you too. £10m is a lot for a keeper, but we need one more than most and we're not exactly short of money are we? Celtic know that, that's why they've pushed us up this far.

Personally I would argue that this thread is titled 'TRANSFER RUMOURS ONLY' and that's not a transfer rumour, so please kindly take your inane babbling elsewhere. I assume K Billy/Monk/Guan have nothing more for us?

Excellent site, but they're going premium only this season to cover their costs.

As a disclaimer, I am a 90s kid, I don't have quite the same taste as some of you old fogies here! Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More Jukebox The Ghost - Everything Under The Sun Muse - Black Holes & Revelations Queen - A Night At The Opera (thanks Dad!) The Wombats - This Modern Glitch

Honestly think he's close to being on the SWF banner. We would still be in L1 if not for Kelvin.

Bye bye Prowsey.

Sounds like Stockdale's having a great game, much to the disappointment of my Fulham-supporting friend.

Shaw probably still would have gone, but Lovren and Chambers would surely still be here.

Lallana or Pochettino. If we still had them, no-one else would have followed.

Don't worry guys, we'll all be laughing when Ronaldo's tearing Liverpool a new one for us on the opening day of the season.....
