    I'd take him on loan, seems reasonable enough. Arsenal fans I know were gutted to see him go. Would do us a shift whilst AL is away.

    Apparently he has dropped his demands, and it is coming from some reasonable sources.

    Both Benayoun and Forren rumours sound believable to me. Yossi would surely be a loan, as we won't be risking having to pay those wages next season, and Forren is probably well within our budget.

    Could be yeah. Not sure on status of his injury, he certainly was injured, but he might be fit now.

    If a few journo's are to be believed it isn't a loan.

    Well I'd not be keen on that.


    But as a short term solution to the Lallana issue and to provide some more cover in the three attacking positions behind Lambert, I'd be very tempted if we could sort out a compromise on wage payments with Chelsea.

    Would fit in nicely with the way we play and I think he would link up well with Ramirez, Lallana etc but he is on crazy money and is injury prone.

    Seems a strange one

    Nabil Hassan reckons he's looking for around £30k/week now. That's certainly towards the top end of our wage structure but not silly money. I'm not that excited by it, but he's a good player; I'm open-minded about it.

    £30k p/w? Well it's reasonable enough if Nige wants to go for it. As said, as a stop-gap he'd be very reasonable for a newly promoted club.

    I'd be happy with that. He does seem to be an injury risk, but he's a good player.

    I'd have to say no thanx, 30k a week at least I reckon. Way too much for a player who would find it hard once Lallana is back.

    I agree with you. I would only accept a loan until the end of the season.

    Apparently back in for Benyoun again.

    I thought he went somewhere in the last window, but maybe not so.

    I'd also be up for Yossi, but not on silly money which wouldn't happen anyway. Good player, always liked him, and never sure why he moved around so. As some one said, would suit our style for sure.

    Really wouldn't be impressed with benayoun, not convinced he is the player we need. Nigel knows best though.

    According to Peach Adkins has said we won't be getting a new keeper. Disappointed much :(
