And would you change opinion on Jokinhere ? And would you change opinion on Jokinhere ? Nah.

Impressive stats on Zouma: WhoScored.com‏@WhoScored24 Jun Kurt Zouma: Was not dribbled past on a single occasion in his 18 Ligue 1 appearances this season

Leroy Fer linked in the Twente press, Tubantia. Got 12 goals last season and almost joined Everton in January. A crazy idea - if we got £20m for Cabaye and brought in PEA, Zouma and Fer would anyone take it?

I agree we need a CB. If the rumour is true (unlikely imo) spending £10m on him and likely finishing off the kitty is not very sensible. Could get Remy (and maybe Sakho as he is in the last year of his contract) for around that. Still, if Ashley has gone mad and has decided to back JFK with a massive budget bring it on!

We obviously need a CB but I wouldn't blow what seems to be the rest of the budget on one. We already have 3 first team CBs atm (providing Taylor stays fit). Zouma would rightly expect to start every week - would prefer a creative winger/forward type first.

Like father like son... To be fair he couldn't really say much about playing alongside Shola!

He does seem a bit of a flirt...

I would be shocked (but over the moon) if we got PEA. Would transform our attack and give everyone connected to the club a massive boost. Not sure we need Zouma though (if it is true).

Sounds like a directive from JFK. Pre-season training starts next week and it would be nice to get someone new in for the feel good (less-miserable) factor if nothing else.

Feel no malice at all against Swansea due to them beating Wigan. Really thought we would go down at that stage.

Looks like we missed the boat here (or decided to not be drawn into a "bidding war"!)

As Bent is a crock and would not work with Cisse I can only presume it is to add competition (and hopefully replace Strolla). Not panicking as it hasn't happened yet but the signs are ominous imo.

We need a signing to boost our morale after what happened last season and now with JFK. However, if it is Bent I think that may deflate confidence in the club even further.

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/10511859._/ Think it is almost becoming inevitable...

Looks like a bird has shat on his trousers. Would be amazed if we got him considering how our reputation has fallen and his has risen.

If we get a mobile forward to play with Cisse and Bent replaces Shola, I am sure not too many will complain.

Says Shola might be put out to pasture in the desert too.

Interesting...

Maybe Gignac? Not my number 1 choice.
