I'd be chuffed if we got Gnabry.

Mcgeady was linked too but think that's for sheff wed

 

[Lycan]

No chance we're in for McGeady. Celtic were in talks with him but couldn't afford his wages earlier in the window.

I'm just waiting for the statement from the Manager saying, 'We're not expecting to do anymore business today', could be a popcorn moment.

I'd be surprised if that happened. We might not get anyone over the line but we're clearly going to be busy today.

You may of course be right but what do you base that on, surely not all the nonsense that's been flying around the cyber world?

 

[Langers]

And even if he does say that, it doesn't mean it's true!

I can't see a glut of signings but I'd like to think we'll bring in at least one.

 

[Jinky]

I can see Sebastien Pocognoli and a striker coming in today. Probably both on loan.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We are clearly trying to do something today. Most previous windows we clearly haven't been trying to do something. Hence the manager making such a comment.

 

[Langers]

I can see Sebastien Pocognoli and a striker coming in today. Probably both on loan.

That's optimistic!

My guess is a striker on a permanent deal. Loans to follow at a later date.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I reckon Pocognoli on a permanent. Striker to follow as a loan.

Middlesbrough. Wolves. Kike move off. More fall-out from Rhodes fiasco.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Precisely why I think the striker will follow as a loan.

I do wonder if the Jackett at Albion photo is misleading a tad - I'm sure he goes to countless games when we're not playing, but it isn't plastered over social media as it isn't the home of our arch rivals. Doesn't necessarily mean a signing is imminent.

I hope to be proven wrong as I think Pocognoli would be a very good signing.

No way we're selling him*

*unless we have players coming in

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

HITC 2+2 = 576. Typical of a rubbish website with a virtually 0% hit rate.

HITC have a bigger hit rate than any outlet for us.

They certainly got Williamson correct and Holt.

I'd be surprised if Jackett's visit was anything but having a look as Albion really isn't very far away and more relevant than the Villa or Shrewsbury.

One of the rumours to be marked down - Swansea City forward Eder is poised to join French side Lille on loan
