Anyway what do we think about Harmeet Singh? Looked good for Norway U21 and was transferred to Feyenoord last August for £300,000. I am sure we make "a future potential" signing at £1m. Could be great for interest from the "locals" if he succeeds.

It is interesting as no one mentioned what is PL's budget for Transfer Kitty.
We're buying a cat?

And a bird.

We used to have a budgie.

If we sign Harmeet Singh it would be well Sikh.

Definately not, we are not in the business of signing players because they will interest the locals .

Quite a few of the Twitter 'ITK's are claiming we'll sign Norwich keeper Jed Steer this week.
He is a porn actor, not a goal keeper. Has to be with a name like that, surely.
and
If he's anything like some of the signings we had under MON he'd likely change his first name to Bum.
and
Jed fucking Steer? He sounds like a slack jawed simpleton.
just had me chortling out loudly - brilliant.

Jed Steer? - we opening a cattle farm or summat?

Given to Celtic?

Can't see the point in letting him go on loan. We'd have to sign another 'keeper and could end up with 3 of them on the wage bill next summer. Ask them to take over his contract and we'll call it quits.

From Lennon's quotes on the club's transfer policy concerning older players when he was linked with Dunne last week, I can't see it happening to be honest. I also don't think Celtic pay Given level wages.

Wherever Given ends up he may have to take a pay cut so Celtic might be a possible place for him. Maybe Sunderland if they sell Mignolet at some point.

Is it wrong to hope that the as yet unnamed footballer from Ireland who is based in the UK and who has assualted someone, is Stephen Ireland?

Would be a good excuse to get him off the wage bill....

Martin Laursen praises Villa target Jores Okore. Mat Kendrick: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/villa-target-okore-one-denmarks-4291281
Have a word in his ear Sir Laursen please. Would love to see this Okore in a Villa shirt. What an asset he would be for us.

Oh I really really hope we sign Okore, especially with the recommendation from the big man.

Nobody would bully us with a spine of Guzan,Okore and Benteke

In fact with an additional 'nasty' in midfield we might be giving it out instead of usually taking it
