Ian Laws... Think he is a journalist at the Sunderland Echo (Sunderland Echo...)

Nothing new there... Like some have said... Outside chance of making the bench but Villa looks the most likely... Either way it doesn't look like we'll be up against Samba that night...

The way the Watford manager was talking on the radio earlier in the week reading between the lines you felt the agent and player were going to force their hand a little...

I think it has been given the green light...

You can say that about any player and any chairman in the world. think its more prominent at our club Once? have we ever been stubborn and rejected a ridiculous amount? spurs for one have. im sure no one in the top 6 has too, and I think we have a few players that are of far greater value than any other team out of the "top 6" We rejected £30million for Caroll Every player has their price. End of. i went off on one my main point is that I dont give a s*** about players saying that they are fully committed and want to play here for a number of years etc, cos carroll leaving f***ing hurt. if the club want to sell them, they're off so krul can say all he likes what should happen, is every player has a price that the club accepts. it should then be up to the player. its not It is then up to the player... Carroll agreed to go... If its not the case then why can't we shift Smith even when we don't want a fee?

Thats 2 bookings for Tiote... Will he miss the 3rd game?

... Not so sure he still has though...

The daft thing is there is an ideal player for us available... Wants a move... Fits the transfer policy... Wouldn't break the bank... Would compliment Colo... PL experienced... Would settle in the area quite quickly... Only problem is he went on strike when here to get a move that has proven to be a bit of a mistake and for that reason I wouldn't want him back...

I said here last week that according to the Dutch correspondents on the radio he's aiming a lot higher than us... So I wouldn't get your hopes on it...

Yes in the main... It was the bit about publicly stating our intentions I don't ... We said no centre forward this window just a defender... And so far we have signed the opposite... Basically just saying take all links with a pinch of salt...

Depends what they are being fed... We were linked with a whole host of defenders then up pops Cisse holding up the No.9 shirt... Cisse was a complete one off with regard to this window, the striker signing we needed 18 months ago and again 6 months ago which would have dragged on through the summer if it didnt become possible now. Why do people use him as a reason for other potential signings that we arent even looking at? And as for being 'fed' thats the opposite of how we work as Cisse has shown........ Think you missed the point i was making... The Cisse deal came out of nowhere... Before we knew it he was at the training ground... Whilst all the media were reporting defenders coming in at any given minute... So it would be fair to assume something similar could happen with a defender when being linked with a whole host of forwards...

Apparently they haven't paid him for months anyway. ...And if he plays in less than 10% of their games he can rip up his contract i believe... City need to sell... Quick... Not when it's him forcing the issue. I'd like to think you are right... I'm not so sure about the finer details... Heard it was a possibility when being discussed on the radio... Either way its a mess...

Game on...

Bang!!!

5mins ...

Lets hope Ba & Cisse manage to negate the surface trouble free in the later match...

6'1 tall, looks fast and calm under pressure (utubetastic) priced around £1.3m Like the look of him... Reminds me of Enrique in a funny way... Seemed to enjoy the battle with Hazard and Sow... Stoketastic throw on him also... I was also reminded of Enrique in some ways from his Youtube videos (which admittedly aren't a great indication of a player) - looks quite aggressive in the tackle, barged the opposition winger off the ball a couple of times in 50/50s and got good pace by the looks of it. Also looked quite decent on the ball and naturally left footed, which would be nice. Glad i wasn't the only one then!... Would rather have a LB than CB this wondow... Santon is wasted going forward at LB... Was at Blackburn in the cup and Fulham and found it quite frustrating to watch... Needs to be RB...

Dabizas one was on sky... 1-4 wasn't sadly... Only other ones that may of been on were the 1-1 including the Milner fluke as i was interview by Sky outside the turnstile going in for a score prediction... and their only victory... Which is the only game I've missed down there oddly but gladly... But not sure...

Really not sure what this chap is on about Aye, totally lost me as well. Only one I can think of is Larsson, great delivery and scored a few, like he would get in the Liverpool starting XI though? His all round game is mediocre at best. O'neill surely?...

Can't be right... We lost against Chelsea and Liverpool off the top of my head...

Shame he (Dyer) could never play a short pass along the floor... Always lazily pitched it up shin height to his team mates... That and instead of passing it to a team mate 20-30 yards away he had to run until he was on top of them... Was very quick though and played his part at times...

Please... Bumped into at a Glasgow hotel in the elevator nearly 18 month ago... Nice bloke... Genuinely forgot who he was playing for... So just asked after a brief chat "where you at these days?..." He seemed a little upset I didn't realise he was still at Rangers... Been a while since I've met a current player older than me!...
