    Niang to Watford, there may be trouble ahead? ;biggrin

    Apparently it's a loan with an option to buy which becomes obligatory if he plays a certain number of games. You would have thought other Prem clubs would have looked at our expensive mistake and steered clear of deals like this??..

    ;doh

    See Hull are on the verge of selling Abel Hernandez to WBA, added to Snodgrass going and Livermore already gone. Getting £30m in total for the three of them. Mason injured. Diame went in the summer.

    All it needs now is for Robertson and Huddlestone to jump ship and that will be the lot gone.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Snodgrass medical tomorrow according to Jinxed on KUMB. Take it how you want.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    On SSN that he's having a medical and discussing terms tomorrow after choosing us over Burnley. Wonder what happens if it goes pear shaped, does he go cap in hand to Burnley.

    It won't go pear shaped Thorn. He's a Hammer ;ok

    Now for Hogan...
  • LukerzLukerz
    Get Defoe, sell Payet.

    Net spend £3m.

    He may not be everyone's first choice but he does seem like he's coming unless something really does go wrong

    Get the impression we won't be seeing Antonio on the wings much anymore, will be interesting to see how Bilic fits him into a midfield/attack where you'd imagine Carroll, Antonio and Lanzini are guaranteed starters

    Battle between Feghouli, Snodgrass and Ayew for that last spot, 3 very different types of players

    Have to imagine that baring Payet moving then the Hogan deal is off. Gutted if true I really fancy him and think he could've been a great buy but we'll see how the window unfolds
  • sweepy23sweepy23
    Speaking to a couple of Leeds fans and they think he's a great signing. They say he was great for them and he gives everything.

    Happy Robert Snodgrass Day ;wave

    Chelsea's Serbia defender Branislav Ivanovic, 32, is in talks over a move to Zenit St Petersburg. (Daily Mail)

    West Ham and Celtic are vying to sign Fenerbahce's Turkey full-back Hasan Ali Kaldirim, 27. (Yahoo Sport)

    What about Ivanovic for RB?

    Hangeland on Adebayor ;lol
    I was marking Adebayor in midfield. Suddenly he said: ’Ah, I’m hungry.’ I replied: ‘What?’ He said: ‘I can’t wait for the game to finish. I’m so hungry. Do you know a good restaurant in London?’ At Palace, when we had strength workouts, he would sit in the gym with a cup of coffee and a muffin. He was being paid by City, Tottenham and Palace at the same time, and he was sitting in the gym drinking coffee.

    Anyone else think Rav will be having a muffin and coffee for breakfast this morning? ;hmm
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    He's checking his photo library right now.

    Alders, surely that's three party ownership - which I guess is different to third party ownership ;dog
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    He must have one very capable agent indeed to be able to engineer a situation where three clubs are paying him to basically sit around and do nothing
  • alderzalderz
    Dodger

    I think that City were so keen to get rid of him that they agreed to pay him x amount of money for the remainder of his contract with them even if he left, and then the same thing happened at Spurs.

    I wonder if loads of clubs are still paying him? We might be able to get him on the cheap ;hmm

    Where is the behave yourself button?
  • Ravel49Ravel49
    Best I could find ;lol

    And I've had my ;coffee but sadly no muffin

    See that Van Aanholt has put transfer request in at Sunderland & bfs & his Palace have agreed a whopping 14 million fee, heard Dean Ashton on Sky sports saying how must Jermaine now feel, seeing them let a relegation rival being allowed to buy one of their better players...
    Could Defoe think he should also hand in a transfer request ;hmm
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Possibly what we're waiting for. Could explain why we're not committing to Hogan ;hmm
  • alderzalderz
    In Sunderland's defence, if he's handed in a transfer request then it's clear he doesn't want to be there and they are in a tricky situation. It's not like they're being Hull here and just flogging everything off.

    Just popped in to say that Adebayor story is quality!! The geezer has been stealing a living for years. Rav top notch picture as well ;clap

    Just seen a video of Harry talking about when he signed and then sold Benjani great stuff

    So its true!!

    I was thinking with Van Aanholt going, he must be their only other goalscorer so if you were Jermaine, you'd hardly be jumping for joy (maybe jumping ship too ;hmm )

    I have to say I'd rather we got Hogan. He's supposed to be a box poacher too, is a lot younger with resale and I'd bet we'd have to pay the same to prize Defoe away, maybe more

    Sad times when you're second top scorer is a left back with 3 goals...
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious
    I think I'm with you there baz. As much as I love Defoe for his abilities as a player, I still feel Bilic wants to play only one out and out CF in his starting formation, and only go 2 up later in game if necessary. As a result spending a fair chunk of money for someone who is going to spend most of his time on the bench, and at 34 is not going to implicate our long term future might not be the way to go. With Hogan, (if he is as good as I have read) he can do the off the bench stuff the remainder of this year and also, given he's 24 be a player for the longer term future too.
  • alderzalderz
    Any striker worth his salt should be backing himself to displace Carroll tbh. Yes, the big man is in form, but if I'm a top class striker, or if I have ambitions to be a top class striker, I will know that AC will break down injured at some point, and I will be able to make the shirt my own.

    I think we are a very attractive proposition to strikers at the moment.
  • FlorinRaducliousFlorinRaduclious

    I agree that strikers should be confident in their ability. I wasn't thinking from Defoes opinion but from ours as a club. I'm sure he believes he would take Carroll's place, but I personally feel he wouldn't so his predominant work will be off the bench (on the presumption Bilic sticks with his mainly 1 designated CF formations).

    I do fully agree that we are attractive to strikers though, with only one with experience (who is oft injured), some up and coming youngsters, a winger, and a even more injured talent (Sakho) as his competition.
