I think we may have got 2 but the Livermore deal has maybe changed things. We may have had one target in mind but then the money available has maybe now changed so maybe also has the target? Possible

Sorry I can't stop laughing at your insistence that Steve Bruce was creating a great team with good values!!! I think good values are what Chelsea look for in players! (Bless him he looks after his mum well, let's sign him) So great in fact it got us relagated from the premier league, wasted a European campaign, then won promotion from the championship by at times playing awful football to watch and no doubt this season would be exactly where we are now! In the bottom 3!

Let me spell it out for some of you,

This squad we have before Marco Silva arrived was largely built by Steve Bruce, this squad was not good enough and neither Steve Bruce or Mike Phelan could see that. The difference with Marco Silva is he can see it's not good enough and isn't afraid to say it!!!

Now the changes he's making come May might not have worked and we may see ourselves relegated but there is one thing that's certain! We have a chance which if you lot got your way and we made no changes and stuck with Bruce or Phelan, couldn't be said as we would be down in 20th place!

I see people on here posting saying things like, the Allams should be putting there hand in there pockets and splashing the cash to guarantee premier league survival! 1. That's never a guarantee and 2. Your the same bloody people who complain when they spend money by saying 'we gonna be doomed if we get relagated' and 'we will be the next Leeds!' Yet when they actually make careful decisions like signing players on loan who if we get relegated are then off our wage budget for next season, you all start screaming 'get the cheque book out!!'

Ehab Allam is a cancer that needs removing from this football club, but and here's the bit most dont get, if you take your tinted glasses off and stop been so bloody negative you will see that for once they appear to be giving us a bloody chance!

We were screaming for change in December yet come January we get
1. New manager who comes with a great reputation.
2. A manager who comes with some great contacts in the European market! Unlike Bruce who signed mostly dross.
3. A manager who is willing to stick his neck on the line and change the team how he sees fit.
4. A manager who is very good at working under tight restriction.

Yet now all those people who wanted change are now not happy with the above! It really does make me bang my head in confusion.

Lastly, buckle up people because unlike under Bruce and Phelan, this second half of the season may just be the most exciting half a season we have seen in a long time. Stop been so negative and let's see how it all plays out!

Conor Hourihane at Barnsley looks a decent player. He was just ripping into his own team for a ****e corner routine...reminded me of Ashbee. 6 months left on his contract and Brucey is after him to Villa

Well based on my information of which comes from a very credible source. Unfortunately this is all a load of rubbish.

If you needed proof it would be loan signings and selling one of our best players to raise funds for signing.

Fair enough if that's the case.
It just seemed the way things moved regarding Phelan combined with Silva coming in, making his own team, & then this whole mortgage thing, things were fitting together with what I was told.
Perhaps you can enlighten us with more details from your source?

He's already in talks with Villa apparently, this is probably his last game for them.

MS wanted 2 players from Fenerbahce (allegedly) on loan, but Fb wanted a sale; so he got Danny in from Olympiakos, as a start. Now, he may go after them as a buy?

Van der Wiel was doubtful before we signed Omar, so it definitely won't happen now. Could still sign Emenike though? If he wants 5 in then I would guess 2 wingers, a central midfielder, centre half and a striker.

If he bet that we would go down, then the chances of us going down would have decreased with us winning, which means the agency would offer him lower cash out. I know how these things work. The reason I questioned it was because I understand it quite well.

You clearly don't understand it, and obviously don't know how these things work.

However you might do by now, I've just got in so I'm pages back from the end of the tread.

SNODGRASS BID REJECTED

Middlesbrough have had a £6m bid, rising to £8m with add-ons, rejected for Hull City winger Robert Snodgrass.

West Ham have have already had two bids turned down for the Scotland international.

I bet £10 million will seal it.
