But he's also barely played for two years and shown no intention of doing so. Wasn't great at West Brom either. I'd take him on loan, but doesn't strike me as the sort we'd want for a relegation scrap permanently.

Good work, Nige. Not exactly sure where Powell fits in yet, but he's clearly got something about him. Logical step up.

One to put to bed: @SkySportsNewsHQ Sky Sources: Troy Deeney to sign new contract at Watford in next 24 hours #SSNHQ

They're just quoting from English sources. He'd be a cracking signing though, did really well at Valenciennes last season.

Chaps, get real here. We're dealing with a player who's won almost everything there is to win; do you think he's going to be eagerly jumping into a deal with Leicester from the off? He's in a position where he has time to weigh up his options, so obviously he's going to see how the land lies...

Yep. We'll probably get mugged for him by the end, but he's a good age and the right sort of player. I'm not going to cry too much if we spend a bit over the odds on him; Whelan says he's willing to sell for the right price.

@John__Percy Wigan have rejected a £5million bid from #lcfc for midfielder James McArthur this morning. Story to follow on @TelegraphSport #wafc

Presumably Cahill. All things said, though, we're a decent counter-attacking side. Knocky and Mahrez are good at starting attacks from deep (particularly the latter, who did it regularly against Everton), and if Vardy's fit there's every chance he'll put the frighteners up Terry & Co. from those...

I'm generally quite optimistic about this season, but it's hard to think we'll get anything other than a f*cking good hiding here. Hammond and King can't be trusted to control a game against Chelsea, and defensively we're nowhere near good enough. The best hope is frustrating them enough into...

Eek. Think West Ham last season; somehow battled to a 0-0 and should have won it themselves but for Carroll being a carthorse. King proved he can knock it about nicely on Saturday, so it might be worth him and Hammond slotting deeper with Knocky in the hole behind Ulloa. Hopefully Albrighton's...

Reasonably confident, even with the injuries. Gut feeling says draw. Think we'll go with a 4-2-3-1 for this; just the other day Pearson was suggesting that 4-4-2 was dangerous against possession-based teams (of which Everton certainly are). Bit concerned about who the third midfielder might be...

I sent a fruit basket to Lako's yesterday, but got it returned today with three oranges and two banana skins in it. I didn't even send oranges. The deal's off.

Dawson is toss (and his name's not Matt).

Oh aye, I wouldn't expect Kingy to get a starting nod. Was thinking Knockaert might be a good fit there actually.

Where does he fit, though? He won't drop DD.

Come on, now. First of all, 34 (and not even that yet) is not too old for a deep-lying midfielder who is basically there to keep things steady. This is a player who's played at the top for a long time, won the Champions League four years ago and been a regular for Inter even up to last season...

Re: The Crazy Stupid Premier League Rumours Thread F*ck me this is actually happening.

Re: The Crazy Stupid Premier League Rumours Thread What if he's lactose intolerant?

Re: The Crazy Stupid Premier League Rumours Thread Realistically, it's likely we could be used as a bargaining chip for a move elsewhere. Saying he's only got a season left in him is pure speculation though, Alrightfilbert, surely? The bloke's got incredible pedigree, he's exactly what...

1. Where are we going to finish? 17th 2. Who will be our player of the year? Albrighton 3. Who will be our top scorer and how many goals will they get? Nugent, 9 4. What will our best result be and against who? City 4-1 WBA 5. Which player will be the biggest flop at this level? Wes Morgan...

Re: The Crazy Stupid Premier League Rumours Thread They've basically just ripped off the Mirror story. Sod not getting excited about this though, he'd be ace. Until Redknapp sticks his oar in.

Atalanta duo Davide Brivio (a left-back!) and attacking midfielder Maxi Moralez (who is 5ft 3in) linked by @TimPearsonMedia Edit: not sure how reliable he is, mind. Tweets like a bit of a bellend.

I've missed the Hammond to Reading rumours until now, but apparently this might be happening. Good news, anyway. He's not cut out for the Prem, and it'll give us a kick up the arse to get someone proper in to compete with Drinkwater/James.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but have Tanner & Co. even asked Pearson if defensive reinforcements are even on his wish list?

What a f*cking weird transfer.

Maybe, but we've been linked with him for a little while now. Doesn't seem like much of a knee-jerk one to me - he'll add quality for sure.

I could vaguely understand Ferdinand, but this absolutely smacks of laziness. He couldn't care less anymore. I thought Fernandes would be putting a stop to his nonsense this summer, but he's equally to blame.

Oh Harry, you never disappoint: Malouda heading to QPR on loan now, reportedly.

Not sure why you've responded with that, but for the record, no. As I said before, we're equally in need of a left-back. I'd also suggest a quality midfielder to compete with James and Drinkwater - something like Hull did with Huddlestone last summer. Those types of players are worth the money.

Are you David Nugent?

I know there's two weeks to go, but does nobody think the lack of ANY centre-back being linked is a bit odd?

Christ no, let them have him. It'd be the call to action we need to bring in a proper left-back. Konchesky is long past his best, and Schlupp not experienced enough to depend upon for a whole season.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28522256 Did "most fans" think he deserved three years? Pleased he knows he's still got plenty to fight for, mind.

Cortese does seem a special case. Pochettino could have left when he did, and I believe one Saints players had a clause in his contract that linked his future to Cortese's. Weird, I know. His departure started the chain reaction, though; Pochettino was happy to go, and his players have followed...

You also have to remember the ludicrous amount of money they're getting from all of this. Despite everything, their current squad with a couple of additions is still easily good enough to keep them up next season. They'll start again under a good manager, and move on. Thankfully for them, their...

I think what we're all wondering is who's going to buy Zoumana Bakayogo. Right guys?

You're kidding, right? The bloke was an absolute bomb scare.

Yep, Holtby is a massive longshot but Jesus I admire the ambition. Get in here you German delight.
