    Apparently we have had 8M euro bid for this Napoli centre back turned down!
    Not seen him play and know nothing about him but hallelujah a rumour over a defender!!

    Apparently his agent has commented that "he plays for a team challenging for the chmapionship, they are a team facing a relegation fight"

    Cracking on FM, so probs ****e in real life. If memory serves, he's big, quick and an occasional threat from set-pieces.

    Big and Quick is exactly what we need! That way we can get rid of Colback!

    I hope we do sign him and make him captain, then we'll be known as the KK clan.

    Technically we have now tried. If anything it's good to see our business getting done so early!

    Perhaps we should all "try" and renew our season tickets in the same fashion

    We put bids in that we know will be rejected. This kid is a tank and can play anywhere across the back and also defensive mid.

    No way a young prospect like that would go for 8m.

    Can't argue that he doesn't have a point there!

    That elusive line will be to blame when we sign no one...... Plus of course.... Pardew.

    I honestly can't see us being able to sign anyone we would all obviously say, yep he's quality. If we hadn't gone to pot after the Liverpool and spurs games and got ourselves up the table even just a little bit it might have made a big difference. As it is we can't expect to sign anyone we pretty much know is good enough. As it is its going to have to be a relatively unknown quantity. Those players are out there I'm sure. Leicester managed to find some gems but that relies on a VERY good scouting system...

    Is this a countdown conundrum?

    Money, Napoli want him out and if his agent gets a slice.

    Other than that no reason at all.

    We should have spent the money in the summer, however we obviously overestimated what we did and underestimated what the rest of the premiership did.

    It's still possible we can stay up if we add 3 players in my opinion.


    Being realistic

    Jonjo shelvey
    Resign Santon
    Shane long

    Call me crazy

    That is decent. Shelvey is a good player. Can be quite imposing on a game. Shane Long I said at the time that we were mental not going for him off Hull. Good no messing striker who scores goals in the prem. Santon we should have never sold.
