Think he'll go: Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Raylor Marveaux Tiote Cabaye Jonas Obertan Best

I think he's doing a good job in difficult circumstances. I think the mindset needs to be we signed our £10m striker but he got injured in his first training session and will be out for four months. Get on with it. I don't mind what MA is trying to do to turn around the clubs finances and up to yesterday thought we'd had quite a good transfer window. But in the last week we could have shown a bit of latitude with the spending plans and bought Pieters and Cisse with the Andy Carroll windfall and all enjoyed the feel good factor, the fuller stands and the increased merchandising revenue.

Wouldn't surprise me if Fulham, and a lot of other clubs, are paying higher wages than NUFC. It feels like the higher the transfer fee we have to pay the less money for wages that are on offer. We'll probably have to wait until next Summer for some more out of contract players.

we'll be back at Xmas

yes

Berbatov and Ruiz up top against QPR obviously

the longer this goes on the more hopeful I get. Surely if he just decided to stick with Fulham the deal would be done?

He'd have his medical in London even if he was coming to us surely?

They can do the medical in London but he needs to start soon to be sure of completing whoever he chooses

He's got until 1st September before we pass judgement - things can still change

I'd be happy with Bertrand if only because Santon might play on the right. Ridgewell can cover CB but if that was so important we should have bought Pieters

not good looking enough for AP

Martin Jol is dutch and they've been in for him in a considered way...........but think again young man and head north and play with passion

Start the helicopter he's coming ..............

They don't have to be our doctors - they are essentially so that the club can insure the player against injury.

Ruiz sounds the best bet but if I was him I'd be worried about being such a last minute choice.

Heard Bendtner's demands were out of our range too

Don't worry Llambias is getting up at 16:30

Someone will hijack that deal and blow City out of the sky (TV)

he's like the child of one of my mates

Same

He's jogging up to SJP to try and lose a few pounds before the medical. Never being that impressed with him but better than Lovenkrands

Santon played as a wing back for Inter and is more like a winger than a CB.

Ash and the Lamb have just got in from the casino - quick nap and we'll be negotiating by teatime

Hope he comes but AP describing DS as a LB yesterday makes this unlikely
