First, Chelsea want Carroll.
Now he's injured, they want Crouch?
I just saw that. I think I have slipped into a parallel universe!

I really hope there is no way Snodgrass can come back into the first team picture, for me he's not only played his way out of the team, by being so incredibly poor, he's also talked his way out of the team, by saying some very unprofessional and contradictory things.

F**k him off to Celtic in the summer.

Football Italia reckon we’ve agreed the €1.5m six month loan for Mario. With an option to buy for €40m.

So that’s his West Ham career lasting six months.

Sorry, again, Chelsea, are they serious? Just why the f**k would Stoke or West Ham loan out one of their main strikers to them?

This makes sense. Moyes wants more flair in midfield. Hope this one comes off personally.

ESPN here in Mexico are reporting that their sources tell them that Fikret Orman, President of Besiktas, is in London having talks with a view to signing Chicharito, and that the talks are "going well".

He needs to play somewhere, with the World Cup coming, and Besiktas are still in the Chumps League (until they play Bayern next month, at least!).

Talk Sport European journalist had Hernandez to Besikitas couple of days back. It was a loan though so it would free up some wages but not a significant fee.

a loan would make a lot of sense. If Moyes gets a new contract you sell Hernandez on in the summer when more teams are looking to spend. If Moyes isn't the manager, a new manager with a different tactical profile would really want Hernandez.

Lots of rumours that Anderlecht have dropped their asking price for Dendoncker to 15m. At that price we really should jump on him. He is exactly what we need in defensive midfield and is only 22 with a lot of potential to improve. Sadly I think Sullivan and co would rather jump on the loan for Joao Mario... who I would take but would prefer Dendoncker.

With Carroll injured or going, Salkho injured or going, only a complete idiot would let Hernandez go anywhere.

Joao Mario? ....more akin to Manu than a Carvalho or Dendoncker. Definitely not a DM that's for sure. Potentially a crowd pleaser but not THE priority unless......

I don't understand why they would loan them, but Conte does like a big man up front

We've been linked to a couple of left backs now. The Italian one is the size of a centre back.

I don't agree. Lanzini and payet complimented each other. Brookings and Devonshire before that. I still believe Obaing can do the job as DM. He is out of form granted...but then again he isn't alone.
