Get a grip!

Awww, let him have his big day.

Get a grip!

I wish I was in the know to have the stories on buendia, tella and our new left back

[Andingle]

Karlan Grant improves us imho.

Agreed ,good strength & pace , can hold the ball up and will make runs in behind.

[Selby Claret]

W Brom fans in meltdown on twitter at the prospect of Grant leaving

They can’t understand why he doesn’t feature more - and they think he’s one of their better players

That's the beauty of the internet, you can have your own stories. Just make them up.

[Big Vinny K]

If Foster or Flemming get injured, Ashley Barnes is our one and only Plan B.

Think about that for a moment.

Signing Edward’s probably means foster is plan b and barnes is plan c doesn’t it ?
Though I do agree we need a striker given plan A is not a centre forward, Plan B has been awful and Plan C is 73 years old.

[jlup1980]

Phew!

Come on Derby.

Grant wouldn't be my first choice but he's a better option than Foster. At least he occupies defenders.

He's played 2000 plus minutes this season. He seems to be a regular feature? I do wonder why West Brom are happy to see him go though.

[agreenwood]

If Foster or Flemming get injured, Barnes is the only “goalscorer” on the bench. If both get injured, we’re ******.

[RVclaret]

Redmond played in a front 2 a fair bit for Saints in his final year there, and VK played him there on the odd occasions we saw him last season, played that lovely through ball to Jay Rod away at Bournemouth for the goal that got ruled out. Probably more someone you’d want playing off a main striker, though.

I had wondered previously whether Redmond would be a front 2 option for us rather than a wide player, hadn’t realised he had done it previously at Southampton

Redmond had barely kicked a football for 18 months.

[LaLigaClaret]

No, I don't see it that way because Hountondji doesn't look up to the standard we require.

A loan out was the best thing for him and the club.

Hmm still no striker in yet and JayRod also having gone since my post on this . You still think getting no striker in after yet more 0-0 bore draws is a good move and letting Hountindji go out on loan before getting someon in was good planning and strategy.

[123EasyasBFC]

Better to bring back obafemi than leaving ourselves with just Foster flemmming and Barnes

[LaLigaClaret]

Yep I posted this over 15 pages ago and only got one posters response and that criticised me when I suggested we shouldn't have loaned out Hountondji before getting someone in first and yet we still haven't got a striker in and then sold JayRod. Still doesn't seem sensible to me.

I'd rather have you up front than Obafemi

Whoever you are

[fatboy47]

Yep...anything that gets him/her/it/they off here.

[bfcmartin]

We need to remember that Fleming can’t play in the last match of the season against Millwall so that leaves us with only Fister and Barnes

[ralph8]

Some Muscle and Aerial power desperately needed, we are no threat from the Crosses, Free Kicks and Corners all season, especially at home.
On top of a new striker, maybe we need to occasionally mix up the centre half's (Worrall in to mix it) to try to get the 3 points.
The current pairing are easily dominating teams with no attacking intent at the Turf and I applaud their record clean sheets, however, we do need to start scoring goals from the dead ball situations.

Not sure that's an acceptable nickname for Lyle

[bfcmartin]

Very good

[Milltown1882]

Club continuing to tweet pretty much on the hour every hour. They’re either teasing waiting for something or a lot of patiently waiting people

[LaLigaClaret]

Any news on whether our recruitment team are turning off the lights for the night yet ?

There's still time yet, but whatever happens I won't be losing any sleep about Hountondji not being here!

Spurs bid £20m for Esteve. We’ve asked for £30m.

Haha 20 million, that’s a good one.

If that's true we won't be back in the Premier league for a very long time

Well done you are learning after getting called out by a poster for miss gendering last week

Miss Gendering? I think she taught me biology at school!

[NickBFC]

At this stage of the day, I wouldn't say £30m was enough either. Losing Esteve significantly weakens us.

£30m isn’t enough at this stage. Not having let Egan and Ekdal go. Can’t see this happening.

And if true & he goes it'll probably mean we have serious financial difficulties.

[Milltown1882]

They offered £70mil for Guehi earlier today so they’re obviously desperate, make them pay way overvalue if they want him that much.

[Father Jack]

Just got to hope Spurs get their first choice CB targets over the line and don’t come in with a big offer for Steve.

Sadly all too predictable

[Newcastleclaret93]

Get 30m and buy another top forward seems like it’s best for everyone.

[randomclaret2]

And if true & he goes it'll probably mean we have serious financial difficulties.

And would be an enormous blow to our chances of promotion

[Bowclaret]

Quite possibly, the biggest load of BS on this entire thread !

Nothing to worry about

[Selby Claret]

Club tweeted Edwards will wear 22

9 still vacant - hope rekindled for another hour….!

[Rowls]

Yep...anything that gets him/her/it/they off here.

In these intolerant and racist times it's warming to see somebody using Martin's preferred pronouns. They is going to be very happy to know it.

Be kind folks.

[agreenwood]

Yeah, it’s a piece of **** buying a “top forward” in the last 3 hours of the window.

We’ve all played Football Manager.

[ervi34]

We currenlty have 3 fit CB's at the club. Of course we won't sell Esteve three hours before the window shuts.

[fidelcastro]

And if true & he goes it'll probably mean we have serious financial difficulties.

How do you work that one out? We'd be 20-30 million quid better off in the short term!

It would be a massive blow to promotion hopes, but not impossible to still achieve it.

[Milltown1882]

Matt Scrafton has shut the Esteve rumour down straightaway, panic over.

[claretlegend]

No truth in Spurs report according to Matt Scrafton

[fidelcastro]

We currenlty have 3 fit CB's at the club. Of course we won't sell Esteve three hours before the window shuts.

What if Esteve welcomes the interest and decides he wants to leave?

Do we just refuse the transfer and keep a player who would rather be elsewhere?

[CoolClaret]

Esteve is due another 18 months or so here - getting us up to the PL then another stab at the top flight, after that he can get his move to a top, top club.

Would be beyond stupid to sell now.

[burnmark]

Matt Scrafton from the Burnley Express has said the Esteve stuff is not true.
