It really is a dull transfer window; hard to think of a quieter one generally or for us in particular. I reckon we will see some movement; if Ossie is going then surely we'll bring someone in - even on loan.

It's rarely dull for us is it? Could add the first goal of a (potentially) quality academy product?

Yep. He's class. Big Vic brings more of a physical presence, JC has a better all round game. We're lucky to have such strength in the DM position. Wonder what it'd take for JC to get an England call up?

Absolutely a player we should go for; would immediately improve the starting 11. Essentially he's Steven D, but with way more skill and creativity, and scores goals. If he goes to another prem side I will be mightily ****ed off.

Having mused this overnight I now wonder if we would be better to keep him...... No need to rush into decisions. Have him train with the U21s until he makes a full, honest and public apology. Assuming he wants to go the World Cup he'd have little choice but to knuckle down and earn a place in the side, and then impress enough top get to Brazil. We won't see his value drop any more from now to the end of the season (if he doesn't play much); but it could go up if he has a decent WC.

I am in Winchester. I know what women look like (even fugly ones). I am willing to stake out the Costa Coffee place and provide reports on a minute-by-minute basis. I think I will be good at this, because a) I like coffee and b) For Christmas when I was 8 I was given a book on how to be a spy, which included good stuff like disguises - how to make fake teeth out of orange peel and beards out of curled up paper.

Yep. Think he is a quality, quality player. And really could have done something for us. Was so excited when he signed. Was a little concerned that he hadn't fitted in as quickly as he should......you expect a fully grown, experienced guy to adapt to the PL quicker. Up to now I haven't minded his temperament/aggression: can't hurt to ave a 'handy lad' on the pitch. But now....no. Time to cut loose. Swap deal or loan with a sell after the World Cup. Wonder how long he'll remain our record signing?

Just watched it. This exactly. How long before we sadly read of his demise?

Not listened. What they said?

If we take the same model as we applied in the summer - that signings should improve the first team squad (ignoring any debate about whether Ossie actually has....it was clear that it was intended he would), then Astori, at that price would be great business. We could get him: why would he sign for a mid-table club like Man U with a negative manager rather than an upcoming future powerhouse. C'mon NC, sell him The Project. ...oh, yeah......umm.

At that money we surely have to go after him?

What a fantastic game to watch. Brilliant entertainment. We should've been out of sight in the first half; couple of wasted chances and a hit post - could've/should've had 4 or 5. Always going to be tougher in the second half in front of a passionate crowd; thought we did pretty well at times - still created a few chances. Gaston looked very lively when he came on. Really hope the injuries aren't too bad. Decent away point really.

ANIMAL!!!!! 2-0

We won't get this much time on the ball in the second half. Need to capitalize and put the game to bed this half.

Yep. He's ****.

I'd Katarina there?

She provides a high quality and consistent service across the client base. FACT.

+1. The last couple of days have been cringeworthy from that **** Durham.

We should partner him with our other ex-Burnley signing. Everyone likes watching a Roddings.

Is he young and hungry?

Exactly the conclusion I came to when sitting in the traffic jams heading home last night. Add in a conversation with NC asking for funds in January, and KL saying something along the lines of....."Umm, that defender bloke from Norway last year? Sharp - he's not playing much is he? Who was that African player you signed? Those guys from the Italian league - how are they getting on?" I love what NC has done for us - with someone elses money; and I can't begrudge the owner wanting some involvement in where their funds are spent. As with everything around this, it's pure speculation at this stage. Going to be a very interesting few months. COYRs WIFM

But good timing to cash in on highly rated assets.... Always hearing in the press how you can't buy real quality in January, even if you want to, 'cause the clubs never want to sell. Shaw, Spider, Adam, Lovren, SRL. Could = a big ROI.

....did this REALLY have to happen in the middle of the transfer window?? Hard to pick a worse time.

Understatement! Would love to have heard that conversation: KL - Play him. He's good, I saw the YouTube posted on TSF NC - Yo' ****ting me, woman?!

How about: NC told to sell Shaw for £30M; NC says no, if he goes that's it for me - and to underline this, here's my resignation letter. Unfounded speculation, but might fit.
