No fooking intentions of trying to sign anyone today. First deadline day in a while when that prick David Craig hasn't been stood outside SJP or the training ground, specky cockney gobshite and the fat c**t not even in Newcastle and Santon & Elliot signed yesterday when a days wages could've been saved on both. Day off for Ashley and Lambias today imo. Pissed off to say the least Liverpool paid well over the odds for Carroll in January yet these useless twats couldn't spend a fraction of that money to buy the type of striker we've been crying out for

Sturridge won't be loaned imho part of their 1st team plans "Sturridge is in my 1st team plans" *buys Lukaku* - Andre Trollas Boas. I'm sure Anderlecht asked to keep Lukaku on loan for this season and Chelsea refused. Can't see why they would loan him out. Even less chance with Drogba's injury. Lukaku himself said he would not sign for Chelsea if they sent him out on loan. When I do leave, it will not be to be loaned out as Thibaut Courtois has been. 'I want to go to a club where I can develop further. 'It's not that I just want to be transferred to Chelsea. At the moment, I am patient. I remain at Anderlecht and I am not thinking of a transfer.'

He's quoted in l'equipe after last nights game saying he's never said he wants to leave Lyon.

He also said "But if it fails, I am not disappointed. My agent must report to me when it is really concrete. I have not heard yet, so I wait.'

He's played 3 games and has known of our interest for at least 2 of them.

Lyons game is on Sky for anyone who's not seen Cissokho play before.

You never know what to believe on wiki but it says on there that he's 6 ft 1.

I can see Sturridge being available on loan by the end of the transfer window but us not even bothering because we've gone out and bought someone who we don't really need, like Bendtner, and won't want to pay another strikers wages.

Why do ESPN employ muppets like Waddle and Savage ? Savage give Saylor a hell of a dogging for the part he played in Gervinho being sent off yet you could clearly see on the replay that Taylor had his back to what was going on and had just assumed that's what had happened. When my free 3 months runs out it won't be getting renewed.

Relax..He needs movement..No runs today so he had no other alternatives than to hit a support pass..Will be much better when he's paired with a fast and movable striker. Let's just hope we get a fast, mobile striker to play along side him and not another slow arse like Bendtner who we've been linked with. Wrong to write Ba off after 45 mins ffs but surely Pardew will have the need for speed up front emphasised even more so after todays first half.

I thought M'Bengue had been lined up as Joses replacement

Here's hoping that the jock twats 2nd managerial stint with the bin dippers mirrors what he did here!! Appointed manager in January, really strong finish to the season, 13th in his first full season in charge, sacked after 2 games.

It's on ESPN too isn't it? Yeah it's on at 10ish after the Germany Brazil game.

Who was the England international that we turned down the chance to sign ?

Jjb have the 3 for 2 offer on again until Monday so I'm pleased I didn't buy this last week now.

I normally buy the long sleeved shirts but I think I prefer the short sleeved version of the new shirt.

Or a long sleeved one ?

Probably been on loads of times before but their is a program called Alan Shearer - Legend Of The Barclays Premier League on ESPN Classics at 11.10 tonight.

Not bad although I think the orange kit will likely be the same template as the black kit Ameobi was seen wearing. You still didn't take out the black cat first time round did you? If the black shirt that Shola is wearing in the video is one of the new away kits (Saylor is also seen wearing the long sleeved version) then I have my doubts about an orange kit because Shola appears again wearing the same style top in white (looks like Spurs current home strip).

I thought that was obvious?! Remember the Henry/Pires penalty shambles a while back? I can yeah but I didn't realise that if the ball directly hits the woodwork, and then ends up back at the feet of the penalty taker without anyone else touching it, if the pen taker touches the ball it's a freekick to the side who conceded the pen.

Am I the only person who didn't know that when someone takes a penalty that player cannot play the ball a 2nd time unless it has touched someone else ?

didnt kuqi become a free agent by mutual consent after the winda clersed ? No his contract with Swansea was terminated by mutal consent on January 26th.

I thought you could only sign free agents outside of the transfer window if they were out of contract whilst the window was still open ??
