Xia tweeting that an announcement on Hernandez will be made tomorrow.

On Hernandez: "It's real. We kept trying whole summer but still didn't work. We're going2other option and expect announce tomorrow"

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds like it's not him then?

It's confusing, is he saying we're signing him for £20m or we've given up and looking elsewhere? It's hard to understand him sometimes.

I think out means we're making some announcement tomorrow about a forward who isn't Hernandez.

Probably that bloke who was shite at Fulham and seems to average three goals a season in Italy.

To be honest so much rubbish out there waiting to be bought and for inflated prices.  We need a top class poacher who can hold the ball up for Ross.   Mind you if like with Ross you don't give him the ball may as well play me.

[PaulWinch again]

In fairness the signings we've made have been pretty good quality.

110% agree it will take time though.  Promotion this season no in my eyes.

Truth is a number 9 in the first 5 games and we are sitting on 10 points tonight. Missing chances has been our biggest issue. Obviously with Tony's latest Hernandez is not happening which is a shame, I just hope they have something better than Okaka or the Boro lad, or indeed that we don't panic buy Rhodes.

Being tweeted about, Albert Adomah from Boro.

I suggest a straight swap for Premier League "ready" Ayew.

[ozzjim]

They can give us him and Rhodes for Ayew. That might work. Then we are not paying silly money for Rhodes and it is not such a gamble.

I have to say that the GK spot still has me worried. I've been saying since the window opened that we needed a top class keeper to provide solidity at the back. We signed Gollini, who is never heard of, but was willing to give a chance. Early signs not looking at all good. If I was RDM I'd be a bit worried that this position still looks to be weak and tempted to bring in another keeper.

It's a pisser because it might prevent bringing in another solid midfielder, assuming priority is bringing in another striker, as seems to be the case. You can't piss about at the back though, we have to have a solid keeper. If it means sacrifices elsewhere in the side in terms of making new signings, then just get it done.

[Steve67]

Ayew didn't even celebrate our goal. I can't stand his attitude. Can be a good player but silks his way through games and is greedy. His attitude is part of last season's problem. Right now, if we could swap him for someone really useful, I'd do the deal.  I hope, over the course of the season, he really proves me wrong.

Attitudinally, he's up there with our other head beard cnuts.
