Possibly and seems logical.

It was said initially they had offered him to us as they're in the mire - 5m loan - repaid if we went down??? (how if they're going bust?) Didn't make sense then or now.
We'll find out in the next 104 hrs. Still don't believe our main target is in the 'public domain', just as Ivanovic wasn't, Rondon, Pete etc...
Just 4 more days of this boring annual ritual that keeps the media circus in a kind of job.
Only 3 months to go until the Jan window opens when our main target will be Grant .

Nah, he'll have signed for the Seals
SQUAD deficiences going into the last few days
Goalkeeper....I won't waste my breath
Right-back/RWB in a 3-4-3....looks glaring at the moment
Left back/LWB - ok if Gibbs is fighting-fit - Townsend game, but not good enough...
Central defence - Ivanovic could be the man or a disaster. Hegazi, is he injured or on his way. Not much experience here...
Right Winger - we only really have Hydropoolios Phillips
Defensive Midfield - bit lightweight if Livermore gets injured/suspended
Strikers - Robinson will produce the odd cameo (and was brilliant against Chelsea) but is not the long-term answer. Our 3 so-called strikers are not up to it, though Kanu will probably remain. Need two - would be happy with Grant and Deeney but I think the club are more ambitious.
A lot of work to do and Slav has said "one more" signing, so a slight concern.
I reckon another 3 or 4.

I hope you're right. I hate this time of year - it's like I spend all summer looking forward to it then remember how shit it is.

£11m bid rejected for Niang, Rennes want £13.75. Also wanted by Torino. Bad, bad biff!

Could be. Probably on a play-now-pay-later basis!

I guess we can’t sign Niang and Grant at the fees quoted.
I think Niang would be a better fit for us stylistically, but Grant is probably better from an attitude, cost and longer term stability.
I still think we’ll get 3 more players in, with a host leaving... a coupe forward players and another fullback.

Luke Hatfield doing an inside track on M’Baye Diang why not our player unless he knows something we don’t. Just seems strange. Mind you it is the express and dingle so he has probably got f all to do.
