I'm hoptimistic that eventually the honourable gentleman will realise his earror and realise that it's just a misbunderstanding.

Bly - Newcastle made a comment about 'pulling a rabbit out of the hat', to which Grimsdale replied 'Callum O'Hare'.
Hares and rabbits are very similar, you see.

I think Armstrong wants to come back to england and his agent is creating some of this talk.

Armstrong is too old for our team, we need a younger version with some pace.

Not much news on Ayman Kari. AllezParis say that we offered 750k plus a 35% sell on fee which they see as probably the best that's on the table for PSG for the 19 year old. They reckon it's down to the player to decide whether he accepts the four and a half year contract or holds out for a signing on fee when he's out of contract in the summer.

And only yesterday he signed an extra years extension to his Villa contract

Leverkusen will have to pay a lot if they fancy him in the summer

Smart move from Villa

Funnily enough, Karen Fazackerley has just posted on Twitter that we’re in talks to sign him on loan.

Not the first time I've heard this, it would make sense as to why we pulled out of the Whittaker deal.

I’d be very surprised if he were willing to move back to the Championship at this point, but if Leverkusen sign Buendia &
McAtee, he’s only going one way in the pecking order.

Hard to see Parker going for a signing that likes to run down the wing and is right footed (rather than cutting inside). I’m trying hard not to get excited but if we pulled out of the Whittaker deal it must be because we expect something better.

Yes but he doesn’t rampage down it like Tella likes to. Parker likes them to tuck back in.

No reason Tella can’t play through the middle. Can’t see this 1 happening though.

I can’t see it happening either but that would be the best signing we could make this window hands down. Capable of paying across the front, pace to burn, fan favourite and knows where the net is…..will it happen? Probably not but dare to dream.

Against the lesser teams playing tella in the brownhill role would be an option. I prefer tella more central or in the channels. I don't think he does his best stuff wide, more in-between the oppo CBs and fullbacks

Totally agree. I have never been one to jump on the tella bandwagon previously but he would be perfect for us right now. A big big morale boost, scores goals and very versatile

Free up some wages and send Sarmiento back. Surely your loans should be starters or at least impact off the bench, he does neither. Put the wages towards a first 11 player.

She's right, but we've been talking to Leverkusen and him all window.

He wants to come, the wages are affordable, but they want back what they paid for him. We want a loan with condition to buy if we go up, they want a loan with obligation full stop and that's the sticking point, was the last I got told.

He's been a big disappointment for me after a few half decent cameos at the start of the season.

Trouble is, who’s paying for him after hardly any game time for 18 months?
