    Morning Peeps,

    We have failed in our bid to bring Becchio back to Elland Road. It is okay however okay for Norwich to hand pick our starlets on the cheap, without as much as a quiet word.

    After being stitched up in the Becchio / Morrison deal, you'd think Norwich would owe us one, and out of embarrassment would at least lend us back Becchio til January? Thoughts???

    McDermott has confirmed via the club’s official Twitter page that he made an enquiry to Arsenal over the possibility of signing Gnabry.

    The German winger made the headlines over the weekend with a well-taken goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium, his first ever for the club. This guy has a lot of talent, and is certainly highly thought of.

    "I made an enquiry for a couple of young players at Arsenal as well - Gnabry who scored their first goal on Saturday was one of them. I wouldn't think they will let him out now," continued Gnabry is an 18-year-old German international at four-levels up to under-19 and he joined Arsenal in 2011 from German side VFB Stuttgart.

    Anybody going to do a match thread for the Bournemouth game?

    Morning all

    Finally I'm a father to a daughter born at 4.30 this morning. jeez I'm now bricking it.

    As for Becchio, couldn't really care if he comes back to us or not. The past is the past let's look towards the future.

    As for the German kid, if he's scoring let's bring him in, we need a winger

    Well done Wolves White <ok>

    Whats the point of talking about missed transfer targets, is it to show we are doing something behind the scenes? We have no chance of Gnarby with Arsenals injurys, although we probably didnt stand a chance either way!

    Becchio I'm impartial about, yes he can score goals but his hold up play isnt great and plenty of attacks used to fall flat with him plus the service just isnt there. This time around I would like a striker who can create chances themselves rather than it being put on a plate for them. That being said, I'd take any form of goals right now!


    Morning all by the way :)

    Morning all. Congrats MM. Which pub have you put the money behind the bar of so that we can collectively toast your success and wet the baby's head???

    On Becchio, pity he's not coming back. I think he'd be made to feel welcome eventually. On Gnabry, would he find a place in our side? I mean, he's only 18. He's unproven at championship level. He's allegedly quite skillful. And by all accounts, he makes Walcott and AOC look slow. He might make it on our bench!!!!

    At least we can see the types of player that BMD is after. So no progress yet, but at least he's trying.

    On the team for tonight. As previously mentioned, I'd go 4-1-3-2. So usual back 4 assuming Byram is now fit to start. I'd put Brown in front of the back 4, which would allow Austin to control the midfield with Murphy and Mowat each side. I'd then start with Ross and Varney up top. This is a game we must win and win well. We need to put the fear factor back into away teams coming to ER. What won't help us is a crowd likely to be only around 20k, given that Bournemouth are hardly likely to bring that many all the way up to Yorkshire for a mid week game.

    Congrats mate. Ive three girls all grown up, its a piece of cake really. Interesting to see how fussy we are about who we loan considering whats been signed in the last eight months. How can we afford to be so picky or is there a queue of top class players just waiting for chairman Salad to ring them?

    <laugh> Doha. The girlfriend wouldn't be too happy if that was the reason..... <yikes>. Unfortunately had to cross the Pennines and the outskirts of Manchester to see my best mate who needed a drinking buddy to work through some stuff <cheers>.

    Thread's up now though!
