Hope we turn the bid down. It is far too late to get anyone in this window so we should wait until summer if we are going to sell.

Like the Ben Arfa deal I hope we have the option to automatically buy. We be a crying shame if he rediscovers form here and then Vlla decide they want him back.

Oba on loan would have been a decent move for us. Certainly would have given us another good option up front.

Frustrating that we have drawn another match after creating so many chances. On the bright side its a good result consdering arguably our three best players (Ben Arfa, Carroll and Tiote) were all missing. However, it is clear that we need to buy another striker if we are going to push on in the next year.

Out of his depth at this level but was fantastic in the Championship. Really hope we have got somebody lined up as we will need cover on the right.

My first impression is that Sunderland must have someone lined up to replace him.

Any news on Carroll's fitness?

Sounds like we have a few injury worries for this one. We need to try and strike the right balance between resting key players and not getting humiliated. I'd rest Coloccini, Enrique, Tiote and Barton.

Obviously he won't feature in this match but how close is Gosling to fitness?

I think we do need another central midfielder like. We need a good central midfielder for squad depth but you wouldn't spend that much on Ireland for him to sit on the bench.

Gutted if its Pardew. How on earth can you run a football club by hiring a man you met in a casino. Won't be giving this club another penny if this goes through.

Martin Jol would be my pick. Only realistic person who I've heard linked so far who I rate.

I can honestly say the way I feel at the moment I don't care about the game this week. Doubt I will bother watching it to be honest.

Gone straight from 4 to 9.

Hughton

They better have Mourinho or better lined up or there is going to be a vicious atmosphere on Saturday.

Deserved so much better. Did a fantastic job to get us promoted. Easily our best Manager since Sir Bobby.

What a fucking joke.

Woeful performance yesterday. Only players who even had remotely decent games were Taylor, Enrique, Simpson and Tiote. Everyone else was way below standard. What particularly annoyed me was the lack of effort. Jonas's pathetic tackle for the first goal and the general lack of pressing when West Brom had the ball. Guthrie was the worst player on the pitch. Fingers crossed he doesn't play again for a while.

Sol was very poor yesterday. Hopefully we see an improvement against Liverpool.

So if he pulls his groin and is out for a month are you still going to be saying that? It is madness for him to play. If he plays tonight this will be his 4th game in 10 days and he will be playing it not fully fit. On top of that if he does come through he will then have to play again on Saturday. You simply cannot expect a 21 year-old to be playing 5 games in 13 days and not feel the effects later in the season. He needs a rest and there will be plenty of other chances to play for England.

Thought that despite the scoreline it was a respectable display. Their first goal was sheer luck and the second should have been disallowed. We also had a few chances throughout the game and it could have been so much different had we taken one of them.

Barmy that their are even rumours of sacking Hughton when we are 9th in the league.
