He's not a winger although he can play wide. He's more of an marauding attacking midfielder off the front men. Like Kaka or Ronaldo.

Fair enough, well that'd be nice. Hopefully though we are prioritising the defence and midfield.

Pete Colley from Sky Sports has tweeted we are not in Coutinho

Which means nothing to me (ohhhhhhhh Vienna).
We may or may not be in for him but SKY won't confirm it for me either way.

martin swain from the express and star just tweeted that olsen from the olbeyun is being hawked around by his agent letting clubs know he has a £4m release clause in his contract. i mentioned this last week, he could be very good for us. qpr have shown interest in him.

He'd be ideal

Problem with Olsen is that he isn't going to swap a Euro qualifying campaign for a relegation fight unless we pay him a lot more then he's worth.

Well its ten days into the window and as of yet nothing. People were saying he and his scouts would have identified  targets throughout Europe.....but I would have expected one in by now.

Perhaps he has been in contact with the 'gaffer' seeking advice.

We will probably end up with Titus Bramble if that is the case!

Give him a sensible deal with a whopping bonus if we retain PL status this season.

A defender in before this weekend's match would have been nice.  It's kind of an important game.

Robust Defender Maybe?
Or a Reliable  Defensive Midfielder?

It's not because of what that Fannyclown wrote on Twitter anyway.

I bet he would. It's only Albion for Christ sake.

There appear to be some subliminal messages above, can't see if happening though. Really Don't Mind.
