    It's basically the same story that came out on here yesterday

    The story is on five different sites according to newsnow. If it is that widespread, even when it is the same story from the same source thee is normally some truth in it.

    Change of underwear is required. Although isnt he right footed, so its not really solving our LW problem? LB and a Striker next, pleaaaaase! Hopefully shipping more deadwood out in the process to keep the wage bill level.

    He may be right-footed, but he plays very well on the left side. He tends to cut in and shoot from range. Usually with great accuracy.

    I don't want this deal to go through, tbh. He's a superb player and only misses out on first-team football for us due to Harry's stubbornness.

    Change of underwear MackemMatty..... Snap on that one he's quality. This will be a fantastic signing if it comes off. The balance we'll have from both wings would be great. It also means him and Seb can change flanks and come inside if things need mixing up. Very excited about this transfer... Please be true!!!

    then he is not what we want imo, as we are looking for a natural wide player, not one who cuts in all the time...

    The squad would benefit massively from a player like Kranjcar and would definately spice up our midfield,

    Larrson------Cattermole-----Colback------Kranjcar

    ----------------Sessegnon----------------------

    -------------------Gyan------------------------

    His agent has come out stating a deal is very close. Its on skysports app for my phone, doesnt say if its permanent or loan though. It also says it'll happen this month so cant see it being in time for saturday.

    Would you put him in if it was all done a dusted?

    I think I'd have him on the bench - soak up the atmos.

    100 percent, on the left drop elmo (although he done nothing wrong and set a goal up) put larsson on the right, keeps the defence the same which i think is important, and would line up like this

    mig
    bardo brown ferdinand ricco
    larsson catts colbeck kranjcar
    sess
    gyan

    looks very good to me :)

    i love our squad but our midfield/attacking options if this comes off look superb. (including those currently out)

    cattermole
    colback
    meyler
    larsson
    elmohamady
    gardner
    vaughan
    sessegnon
    kranjcar
    gyan
    wickham
    campbell
    ji
    richardson

    on top of the young lads the academy seems to be producing pretty regularly now!
