Just trying to think of players that Hughton may be able to get in using his club links. What about Tom Carroll? Young but he has a lot of promise and could play the same kind of role as Hoolahan
Stan Collymore ‏@StanCollymore 37m I'd have loved Hoolahan at Villa, exactly what we need between Delph and the strikers. Mobility, creativity, cleverness.
I have never expected less on a deadline day than this one.. It feels like someone has forgotten my birthday and all my friends are getting great presents.
Yep - ever since our offer of tuppence and a Delia pie for Mata failed we've hardly featured have we ?
I must admit that I expected a couple more signings. Arguably we already have the quality in the team to get by, but we have had so many injury problems already this season that I'm worried that more of our key players could get injured and we wouldn't have cover. This has cost us enough points already this season, and will probably cost us more in the future. And it's made worse by all the teams around us making loads of signings, let's hope this Yobo bloke and Guitierrez are good players.
Breaking news: Jack Schitt has been seen at colney it is rumoured that we are unable to agree personal terms though..
Does seem like a lot of our RELIGATION rivals are bringing in a few new faces? I'll be disappointed if we don't do any more business before the window shuts. When they repeatedly state they'll only bring in players better than what we've already got I'm expecting 6 or 7 new faces !
Mick Dennis reckons were hoping to bring in a loan player to allow Hoolahan to leave. Wonder who that player could be!!??
I would like both of fulham's new players, sounds as though we went for Mitroglou but weren't up for spending £11m and holtby clearly would have been good. Can't really say another club in the bottom half has added a player I would have really wanted.
It's the lack of any rumours whatsoever that bemuses me. Guthrie is probably the only CM I've seen linked. You'd have thought if we were serious about a quality CM, a bit more would have leaked out.
I saw something earlier that suggested we were waiting on Man City to see if it may enable them release Rodwell on loan. No idea how reliable this is, but wouldn't say no!
I think Man City have said they aren't bringing anyone else in, so letting Rodwell go would slightly weaken their squad. He's a quality player I'd love to see here, but I don't see it happening.
Swansea want to loan Emnes from Middlesborough? Another slightly strange move, my 'boro supporting friend reckons he frequently doesn't look good enough for them.
