    As Bath says, not quite as clear cut actually. You may well be right, but until Toivonen says no outright, signs elsewhere or the window shuts it still seems possible.

    Alderweireld said we couldn't agree personal terms, so I think that is definitely dead

    QPR loses out on another player who decided he'd rather play in the Premier League.

    Fulham Sign Scott Parker, another good signing for them.

    I see they haven't really learnt their lesson, only difference is that they haven't got the Premier League to offer them.

    Can't blame players opting to play in the Premier League though.

    A 3 year contract, brave from Fulham... But well played to Parkers agent for getting that!

    They love older players there eg
    Sidwell
    Karagonis
    Riise
    To name a few

    I think I'm going to change one of my favourites for relegation after watching the first half of Man City vs Newcastle, what a load of ****e Newcastle are!, down to 10 men now! Taylor sent off.

    Tbf, Man City are looking good. I think any team playing them tonight would struggle.

    I don't think it's all Newcastle either. They've shot themselves in the foot, but they really didn't have a hope in hell anyway. Their major problem is that their paper thin squad is already straining - no left back, an injured left winger, a suspended cb, an injured loan striker

    None of them look as though they want to be there. Only Ben Arfa, Krul, Coloccini and Gutierrez appear prepared to put a real shift in. The rest look as though they'd rather someone else had the ball and did something with it. <ok>

    true but they have three other players on yellow cards. Giving Man City way to much space and players standing around instead of marking.

    Gutierrez injured too doesn't help. 2-0 down, 10 men, and 2 subs used starving them of a tactical change. It's going to be a long second half for Newcastle!

    Who was the culprit then? Player in the wall turned his back and didn't jump, went over his head and in. 0:3<ok>

    Vernon Anita.

    Ooh, Kompany injury, maybe they'll be the next team linked to Alderweireld now.

    Cheers Cove! I think we've discussed him before as a twitter account that may-or-may-not be him announced he was joining us, hadn't seen anything about a medical though.

    I'd much rather have Toivonen, but Elmander is probably the cheap option for a 4th striker, who adds a bit of experience. Surprised if a multi-year deal is accurate, I'd have thought we'd have offered him a year, then a year's extension if he played enough.

    Wouldn't mind this happening at all. Still has plenty to offer I'd say.

    Who's your team Cove? You never said, are you being cagey? Enjoy your blogs, but please, no more from Danny (Frigging) Dyer please. <cheers>

    The VI article doesn't quote other sources or accounts so this has to be new information, else they would have credited it to a source.

    Haha, my entire family is not into football, I only caught on when I was 18 or so. I was never brought up with a favourite team, I just started watching because of the game. So that helps a bit to report the news unbiased <cheers>

    No more Danny Dyer I got it, got a lot of grief on the board for including that video in my blog, problem is that he is the only one that made such a documentary who does it in English. Thought it would help to build some context around my article. No such luck.
