Gibbs and Jenkinson probably available. Would anyone have them? Gibbs definitely but not sure about Jenkinson personally.

He's apparently in Newcastle and was seen at Central Station, where loads of people assemble. However, in a day and age where people are obsessed with taking photos of footballers in public and posting them on Twitter, not one person has decided to do it on this occasion. Funny that.

More likely to be filming a Head and Shoulders commercial than talking to Penfold.

Murphy can leave with his head held high. Did himself proud.

Oh joy.

Everton interested in Benteke - SSN.

Increase our bid slightly probably means £8.1m: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/15401582.Newcastle_to_make_new_move_for_Jacob_Murphy___after_Norwich_City_reject_initial___8m_bid/

West Ham not interested apparently.

I couldn't possibly support this lot if Rafa fucks off. I will follow my local team - Colchester United instead.

I think it was. He has a good record reporting on us to be fair.

Rafa would probably leave though and I wouldn't blame him.

Might as well start discussing the merits of travelling by different modes of transport again because it doesn't look like anything else will be happening.

I am waiting for Gouff to re-sign.

He knows his stuff too so obviously bugger all is happening.

Would prefer Murphy personally:

I think I've only been ITK once. I taught a French student when I was in Bournemouth who was friends with Demba Ba. It was at the time there were rumours about him having a release clause and moving to Chelsea in the January window. She told me he was definitely moving but wouldn't say where. I remember not believing it despite her showing me a picture of her with him and his mates. Not sure I mentioned it on here at the time.

Rate Murphy myself. Would be happy with that (if it's true).

He'll be signing then. Can't understand not wanting to play for Rafa if you hear him talk football. Hope another winger comes in if he does sign.
