    Think it's obvious the first choice was Wood, but for one reason or another that's been and gone. My dad lives in peterborough and I've seen a lot of Mackail-Smith over the years - he never stops running and he's very good off the ball and would run the channels all day long - but he's just not clinical enough, and he's so much better in a front 2 rather than up on his own. Whether that's different now he's at Brighton, I don't know, but if we're going for players similar to Becchio (Wood and Blackstock would imply we are) that suggests to me we're looking to play one up top, with McCormack and Somma the options if we chose to play two in attack. So I don't see much point in signing CMS unless we want to play 4-4-2 full time...

    Is it just me or is there a certain lack of anything to talk about at the moment, and is not that a bit worrying?

    Yea Neil Danns is a good shout, a real powerful runner who can stride through midfields. Reminds me of that Leigertwood chap from Reading.

    Sky Sports understands that Celtic are leading the chase for Leeds United's highly-rated defender Tom Lees. Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers, Wigan and Cardiff are all thought to be monitoring his situation.

    If we sign Tate for pennies, they can have Lees for £10m. (will settle for £8m, actually).

    Then if we got promoted Tate would be utter dead wood and we would need to spend £10m to replace him, if we sell any of our better players this transfer window then the new board and owners can go and screw themselves.

    You would welcome Anton Ferdinand?! At least Hill can defend, even if he's old and has no pace <yikes>

    Sounds like Tonge's move to #lufc will be done in the next 48 hours. He'll sign a 2 and a half yr deal with Leeds paying Stoke a nominal sum

    According to Twitter Tonge will sign a two and a half year contract in the next 48 hours, surely not a two and a half year contract? Really?
