Don't think he was offside for the chipped ball that Sissoko played earlier in the game, good to see they are forming a bit of an understanding so early.

Don't think he's attempted a floated cross or a 30 yard chipped pass yet so he's a mile ahead of Simpson. He was very good in the first half getting forward and a couple of decent tackles in, second half early on he wasn't used to the pace of Agbonlahor but he improved and got tighter to him after the initial 10-15 minutes. He's very good in the air and like all players coming to a new country he'll get better with more games.

Dat last ditch tackle

Fox Soccer are crazy.

Any chance we can add a Marv is injured bit in the title to stop the mass suicides going on.

Sleeping in his kit, good lad.

Yao knows history.

You sound like a ready made Blue! I am in the blue part of Glasgow so why not! I play like a scottish Gervinho, complete with bad hair and headband. Don't listen to them the blues are clearly the better team.

pre Villa press conference today?

11pm. Not until 2am for QPR like.

SPL is pretty much league 1 standard, he could get a championship loan.

Pardew has mentioned in his recent comments that he's after a wide player and a central striker, Gouffran can be seen as either of those so another might be on the cards.

Could have trained with the youth/reserve team who were supposed to have a game.

Very vocal in the training video from today's press conference.

He's not looking at any options, he's signing for us. Yeah so was remy Boring.

He's not looking at any options, he's signing for us.

We've had enough British players with their heart the size of a pea to know it's got nothing to do about nationality.

I think the 12pm the day before a game is for it to be registered at the FA, not sure if it can be registered at the FA before international clearance is received but I'd imagine not.

12pm the day before the game I think.

Anzhi and Sunderland have a lot in common

Surely something more concrete would have came out by now in the press if he was playing about.

Nobody's heard of them remember, like Ben Arfa. They then asked Julien Laurens whether Newcastle were buying 'a load of rejects' and he basically said 'no, they're all class'. Surreal radio. Rejects, man. He was raving about Mbiwa, Gouffran & Haidara earlier this week.

During the talk about how this is going to affect our academy I wish someone had have brought the point up about our academy producing the most expensive English player ever bought. I realise he was never worth the money Liverpool paid but it might have at least shut a few people up.

We generally don't comment on incoming deals, he'll be here tomorrow.
