Sky saying Bassong to QPR is very close and Nixon saying Crouch has agreed to Stoke switch. Lot of movement on finance for Spurs.

QPR possibly moving for Bassong?

His excuse is that he doesn't give anything out to protect Coyle's interests and stop others catching the scent. Probably bullshit.

If Tottenham move on Crouch and Palacios for ?20m+ and Bentley off the wage bill I can't see us rejecting a serious offer from them no matter when it comes. Onuoha doesn't seem to have moved anywhere yet.

Could be Gyan...

It's a Talksport rumour but I'm under the impression Coyle asked about him but we have no chance.

To be honest, who wasn't? Only Petrov did anything that stood out first half and everybody else came out better in the 2nd half.

Akin Bulent was actually born in Brussels

Nixon says he has chosen us but there's still a couple of things to iron out that shouldn't be a problem. Doubt we'll see him tonight. Another option at right back and I guess insurance if Cahill leaves at midnight in a weeks time (plus 24 hours if it's Tottenham). If not he may push Knight out.

I think Marc Iles reckoned 6000 plus 500 Maccs fans!

They're trying to shift Angel on to make room for Keane.

Let's see, cash strapped club have a player in his final year who doesn't want to sign a new deal. He's 20 years old, does he want to be a bit part player in a joke league or a bit part player in the Premier League where he can earn more than he can there. I can't see this going any other way than him becoming a Wanderer if we stump up ?600,000/?800,000.

As far as I remember Tuncay often operated as a left winger cutting inside for Boro.

FC Utrecht. We were linked with him a while ago. He's knocked in 5 goals in 3 games so far this season.

Now if people thought Robbo got caught out of position they're going to have a field day with Alonso. Will take a while to settle in.

Works well in the bundesliga

I know, I couldn't believe it either.

It mostly comes from Nixon's report in the Mirror.

With Coyle looking at his options I think this is the first time he's looking at Petrov as a foil for Davies and having him lurking around behind in the hole.

On one games evidence we can all be certain it wouldn't work folk.

But you get the picture.

He can fight it out with 20 other 18, 19 and 20 year old Brazilians in Benfica's reserves. Good luck to him, he'll need it.

I'll give you one then. Bolton Wanderers have been linked with a shock ?20m bid for Edin Dzeko. It's thought Eddie Davies wants to go bankrupt and is willing to offer ?120,000 a week wages for the Bosnian hitman. I'm sure Coyle is worried too but we can't go buying players with money from Monopoly can we? That's life for us, pick up the scraps come the last week of August.

Who gives a fuck who the Sunday tabloids link who with. It's tittle tattle, no truth to it.

Location? Treat them(and parents)well? They have a track record of churning out talent so they can say to them, stay here and learn your trade and 2/3 seasons later we'll sell you once a bigger club with a suitable offer comes in.
