    As I was saying back in the summer, one of Whiteman or Austin should've been loaned to get some first team experience - which becomes more obvious with Lloris out injured, as our bench options have no experience outside our U23 side

    It’s official. Hopefully Gazza is first choice for now as I think he’s better than Vorm but as much as I would like to see the young GKs get time, it’s probably the hardest position on the pitch to throw an inexperienced player into and it’s prudent to have Vorm on board should something happen to Gazza, god forbid.

    Given that they're paying Ramsey £400k p/w, Rabiot has got to be on £500k, minimum.

    He ain't coming to us.

    Yeah Gazza will 100% be first choice. Big chance for him too, proves himself and impresses over the next few months and Poch will be silly to drop him for a returning Hugo who’s making more and more mistakes as the seasons go by.

    Nice to have Vorm back though, hopefully he can slap a few heads whilst he’s here along with providing keeper cover.

    Bundesliga Rando Watch
    Bild report that not only are we interested in Mainz striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, but Poch has personally called him to ask if he's willing to make a January switch - although Mainz reportedly want €30m, given they only signed him in 2018 and had he signed an extended contract back in June

    As with most players cursed to be Harry Kane's understudy, he's a target man

    Deja Vu Watch
    To the surprise of nobody, the latest round of Eriksen Bullshit is an Isco-for-Eriksen swap with Los Ladrones

    Never Gonna Happen, But Still... Watch
    Random sources in Italy suggest that we're planning to go balls to the wall to sign Donny van de Beek in January

    Really Needs To Happen Watch
    Once again the Wanyama to Celtic rumours are picking up for January. Anyone fancy giving him a lift?

    Italian rumours about an English side signing a Dutch player. Makes sense.

    It finally happened: I saw a member of the Levy Out mob criticising Levy for giving Ndombele £200k a week wages right out of the gate

    Or to put it another way...

    July 2019: "Get your wallet out Levy!"
    October 2019: "Stop throwing money around Levy!"

    Of course, Poch's comments the other day about not needing players in January are being taken all too literally by members of the lunatic fringe, somehow under the belief that Poch slagging off the players to the press on a weekly basis will improve performances

    Not only is there years of evidence of Steptonho slagging off underperforming players to the press so he won't accept his tactics backfired having no effect on their performances whatsoever, but people also forget when Harry Redknapp took over QPR and almost immediately started blabbing in interviews about how he couldn't wait for the transfer window to open so he could get rid of some of his players even though the window wouldn't open for another six weeks which did little to motivate the players in spite the fact they had several matches against the teams around them at that time so a motivated team might have actually got one or two much-needed wins

    Several sources, one or two of them borderline credible, have linked us with West Brom's 19-year old defender Nathan Ferguson

    ...yes, he can play right back, although West Brom are mainly playing him at left back this season

    Who's Replacing Eriksen Watch
    Of course this has rapidly become multiple choice...

    Mundo Deportivo suggest that Poch sees Barca midfielder Carles Alena, who can best be compared to Harry Winks but with better dribbling and more positive passing - or to put it another way, yet another 8 in a midfield crying out for a 6
    AS, meanwhile, report that Los Ladrones are offering both Isco and Mariano Diaz in a part-exchange deal (which has been churnalised by the BBC this morning)

    Let’s see how much money we make out of Eriksen, Toby, Verts and Rose

    If the Chairman has a sell to buy policy then this is our only avenue of raising funds

    Let’s hope it’s not been ignored then

    According to Peterborough's chairman, he's turned down an approach from us for one of their academy prospects


    ...and that's all the information available, but that's still somehow more helpful than the average TeamTalk headline

    Not sure about that. Tony Pulis is currently unemployed
