From BBC Live Text: 1413: "Anybody know if Westwood has signed for Newcastle United yet? I know he was having a medical earlier, but have heard no further reports." CUFC_Mike on 606 No keepers, please.

Thing is, hardly any clubs have completed deals today so far. Think we'll just have to wait and see.

Sunderland have signed Tal Ben Haim on loan. They've done tremendous. Everything else is rumour. If every rumour came true for other clubs and not us, then I could see your point. Also, Portsmouth have signed a load of crap and taken some gambles. We'll see. so better than us yeah? Hayden Mullins. A Portugese kid who Adams said he might not play because he doesn't know how good he is. Angelos Basinas That Gekas fella Pennant (good player, but an idiot) Sold: Diarra Defoe No, not better than us to be honest. i was speaking about incomings only to be fair, sorry I didn't make that clear. Pennant, Mullins, Gekas, Basinas and possibly Dos Santos represents much better business than Lovenkrands, Nolan and possibly Taylor It's the old quality vs quantity argument. Imagine if we'd signed Hayden Mullins? People would be dead.

anyone got a pic? Enrique (the poster from here) got one of Beye and Taylor, I couldn't be bothered to get my phone out to take a picture, how bad is that?

Would love to know what the France U21 coach thinks of him at the moment. Probably, "Fuck, I wish he was 21"

Was a decent game, they're filthy as fuck and I'm amazed they finished with all 11 on the park. We looked blunt as out up front but I should have expected as much. Lots of endeavour second half but a draw is probably the right result. Sat about 10 yards in front of Habib Beye and Ryan Taylor (in full NUFC tracksuit) so he's either signed or a bit keen. Thank fuck Chopra is shit.

Tomorrow is massive. It doesn't really need to be said, but a win would do us so much good on so many levels. Don't let us down boys.

I imagine that Bardsley would play centre back if that Kay guy has to play, or maybe McCartney. In all honesty I don't know but you would expect the youth guy to be played at right back. Ferdinand will probably make it anyway, they must know we're down to the bare bones up front anyway. I think Duff, Lovenkrands and Jonas will be rotated between the wigns and just off the front man, mainly because JFK doesn't know who's best where.

There's an ITK on their forum who says Ferdinand is 50/50, some youth kid in as potential cover. Reading through a few pages of the thread it seems this guy has been reliable in the past. Shame we don't have some more potent strikers fit to test them.

Come on Villa, Arsenal, everything else stay the same

Fulham 1 - 0 Portsmouth

Wigan have essentially replaced Kevin Kilbane with Charles N'Zogbia, which is a bit of a bonus for them. Taylor is very useful, versatile, and I imagine will be the fill in for Beye for the time being. Then he'll move into whatever position we have the most injuries in.

All agreed. Scan on Monday to ascertain the damage, won't be able to tell with the bruising whether it's broken or not. At least we do have money to buy someone, whether there will be enough time is another question Surely it would be better to get the scan done tomorrow so you can look at a potential replacement. I assume the bruising will stop that.

It's all up to whether the staff'll work weekends. There's nothing realistically stopping us signing players on Saturday or Sunday. I'm sure Duff signed on a Saturday or Sunday, didn't he? With the deadline being this Monday, clubs wont want to lose two days of negotiating/Medicals, etc. The whole point of the deadline being extended to the Monday is that there wouldn't be any days lost.

Erm, yes it could, ten past five on Monday. Shutting the window on his foot would probably be a bit of a shitter

Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Harry turns up at Fratton Park wielding a receipt saying he can return a purchase within 30 days. Despite the fact he's broken it like a cheap Fisher Price toy

Where's that stoned dog...

So he won't be here for the weekend then

Has Wise just woke up and said "oh right, fuck, it's nearly February"

Now we're talking. So still £4.5 m then

Spurs striving for that midtable team from last season: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4871624,00.html

Are you lot just born deluded or is there something in the water up there? He wasn't even in the team under Sammy Lee because he can't pass a ball five yards. He played his best football under Big Sam and that was a long time ago. To suggest that he only needs to pull on the black and white shirt and he will be transformed is just utter nonsense. I really hope that this deal goes through. I hope it goes through too. Wasn't in the team under Sammy "3 months in the job" Lee. Pull the plug, Lee knows better than anyone...

Also if this proves nothing else it's that we do these things on the sly. So stop reading the papers and shit like vitalfootball and having a heart attack, what turns up will 4 times out of 5 be out of the blue.
