I think Rose just took the spare space. No need for 4 keepers normally.

Well the photo is of Simon Calder so that alone says fake account

Natalie Sawyer?

What I like about us is with a week to go we have no idea who the attacking player is we are trying to sign. Many other clubs would be using the press to put pressure on the deal to go through, not us! Quietly go about our business

If we get VVD back playing I believe our back 5 plus Romeu in front is an excellent defensive set up, so pressure on the attacking side of our team to create and score the goals needed.

First goal, Romeu got turned on each of box and nobody reacted to the save apart from Hernandez. Second goal, Yoshida wrong side of man for header, nobody marking or reacting to free ball apart from Hernandez.

Interesting view of how we played today. Gabi dropping into the space Davis was playing leaving no central forward.

Didn't make the extra Man count in second half. First half until they scored I thought we were good. Hernandez with two poachers goals. JWP deliveries are so good from the right, just need someone committing to get on the end. Thought Gabi was too deep as the main forward, Redmond and Tadic were often further forward but out wide.

I thought we didn't scout in South America?!

What's the best way of watching on an iPad this season?

You can see why we shop abroad for our players when it costs Watford £18M for Gray! Much better value players if you sign outside the PL.

We've got a video to make before we can announce him!

His statement refereed to interested clubs, rather than club. Hopefully he isn't just set on Liverpool and we can sell him else where for the fee we want. The club will still come out of this well unless he is sold to liverpool.

I would imagine SFC would pay for the flights not the player.

Isn't that the site where anyone can write anything they want, and 99.9% of the postings are totally made up.

MP seemed honest in his post match interview.

He hasn't played any part of the last two friendlies. Not giving him match time as he is going out on loan?

I wonder at what point Liverpool will decide they can't wait any longer and will move onto another centre back? I can't believe they won't strengthen there, with or without VVD.

If they are prepared to accept sensible wages there could be some rich pickings here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chinese-super-league-crisis-13-10865718

Still on holiday, no idea when due back. I imagine testing this week at some point to join back up on Monday?

Blimey he's keen. The game isn't until the 12th Aug!

As the report says i imagine if you are just after a club, then Newcastle would be the most obvious one to go for with fan base and stadium size. We must be a goodish option too but not a stand out one IMO.

You would also like to think that Black, Watson and Read with have also feed back to the new boss where they feel we need to buy though? We don't need many, just 3 or 4 i say. CB / DCM / ACM / CF (poss)

Do you think the reason why we haven't signed anyone for the first team yet is that we aren't prepared to pay the prices currently being banded about and are holding off to try and get better value later in the window?

The reason City are struggling to sell is due to (a) them wanting OTT prices for them to try and recap the OTT price they paid for them and (b) because their players are on silly wages and no club are willing to pay them. Nasri and Iheanacho would both be good signings at the right price and wage.
