    Celtic, Nottingham Forest, Cardiff and Blackburn don't exist then? Pretty sure they were all approaching him at the same time as us. He'll only be a benchwarmer anyway. Aluko will play in the pocket behind our new striker keeping Boyd out of the team.

    Heard you are after Gary Hooper - (the prolific League 1 striker once valued at £1M who is now better than Messi because he is playing in the best league in the world)

    If you pay over £2M for him, it will be the worst signing since someone paid a ridiculous fee for Jimmy Bullard <ok>

    You're missing the point. The point was that we are now Premier League.

    So you are struggling to accept this and you are unwilling to leave the Championship pages?

    Oh dear, Bullard was an England international at the time. Had he have stayed injury free, I can't help but feel he would have been an amazing player. It would have also stopped him from being bored and going off doing stupid things like he did.

    Hence the, "One eye! He's only got one eye! He's only got one eye! ... " chant.

    AND his celebration against Forest when he scored against them at the KC.

    This is a good thread TC especially if you keep it updated.

    And also back to the point Charlton have just signed Mark Gower from Swansea for free

    He'll play "in the pocket" alright...

    In the pocket of Zabaleta, Rafael, Ivanovic, Johnson... I could easily go on... <laugh>

    Aluko? The player that after one month had rave reports heading around the Country? He's easily Premier League quality. We'll lose him if we go down definitely. We'd have challenged Cardiff for the title if he'd have stayed fit all Season.

    He is no longer playing against Championship defenders. He wont be walking through defences like he was in the early part of the season. You really think defenders like Vincent Kompany, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Daniel Agger, Jan Vertongen are going to struggle dealing with Aluko?

    I never at one point of my previous post suggested that Aluko would make mince-meet of Premier League defences, because he probably won't. However, the whole point I was making was that Aluko is clearly meant for the Premier League and though he won't beat every defender, he will beat quite a few. I suspect, that if we're struggling come January, there will be interest reported from the top Clubs for him, because he's pure class and talent. I suspect he would never have even joined us if it wasn't for the fact Steve Bruce was manager, or else he would have already been a Premier League player last Season.

    It might be an idea to put it in some sort of order rather than latest last, maybe alphabetical towards the club they have moved too? I would find that much better reading as you can see which clubs have been most active in the transfer window, although this is time consuming :/
