Negrado has a shoulder injury...

Is there transport problems in London tonight? Lots of empty seats at WHL...

@lee_ryder: Lyon confirm they have had bid from #nufc for Clement Grenier.

He's passed his medical according to SSN... Thread title change?...

What is it that has you unconvinced? He does what he does very well imo. I feel like i must be missing something, i really do! Is he a defensive hard nut, like Roy Keane? No. Is he like Makalele then, clever postioning, always winning the ball back with great interceptions or brilliantly timed tackles, the sort of guy that you KNOW the oppostion won't get past? No. Is he a deep lying playmaker then with a great range of passes, like, say...Carrick? No. Is he like Dyer then, brings the ball out at speed, running it upfield? No. Can you think of any other player you'd be confident playing him with in just a 2 man midfield? That last question is the crux for me. Anita seems like a facilitator, someone with a good 1st touch which allows him to move the ball on quickly but without the range of passes to be effective as an attacking force, a good engine but without attributes to impose himself defensively. I wanna be wrong like but i think, if we sign a midfielder then he will be the one dropped. I think he's doing a lot better this season than last I think that's clear to see but I agree with all these points especially regarding a midfield 2... He's got to be utilised in a 3 hence why sometimes he's the fall guy... Willing him to well as he's definitely got something our other midfielders haven't...

He said he didn't think Ashley would pay the possible premium to get him this window...

I'm guessing this is the guy we are going to replace Remy with in the summer? Grenier to replace Cabaye being the (hopeful) plan?...

You have to cancel direct debit pre-31/01 on the multiyear if that's what you meant? Yep... So you don't even get to see the transfer window play out fully...

£23million apparently...

Is it 1st Feb for renewal on the yearly deals?...

Mm. Unusual optimism from him. If you call 60-40 being optimistic...

Cabaye playing tomorrow night apparently...

He's playing tomorrow night apparently...

The crazy thing about that deal was paying £6.5m more than is buyout clause which expired just days earlier...

Think it was 2.5 years. He's also two years younger than Cabaye and done/proved more. Not comparable really. That was my point... That and the fact his weekly wage is 3 times approx than Cabaye's is why clubs won't be paying silly fees talked about on here and the press of the £35m mark as his current contract isn't that high to buy out...

How many years did Mata have left on his contract?...

Went last season for Debuchy's debut... Up there with the worst football games I've attended...

Why does a post about gash and naples give me an erection? Because you took vargas.

Nice one... How much?... Mates rates etc. Half bat. We usually spend a fortune on drink though and if there are any auctions we can gan mental. I bought a clearly dodgy signed Pele shirt for 350 at one of these a few years back and my brother in law who hates footy bought a pair of signed Beardsley boots he allegedly wore at Italia 90 for silly money. Most are just generic signed s*** passed off as worn or one off etc. it's usually for good causes though so... How do you want paid?...

Nice one... How much?...

I'm up for it. Anyone else? Yep as long as the prices of the drinks are sensible... Think there are 3 prize ranges for tables...

Reads like classic journalistic guess work no different to yesterday's article but with the paragraphs in a different order...

Watching Pjanic now... Just set up a nice goal for Roma against Juventus in the QF of the cup... (SS3) Ironically for Gervinho...

He probably will... It's just an agent planting a story...

Is this really a story?... There was some Twitter pics with fans on the underground post West Ham match...
