Palacios has really lost his way in what was becoming a good career, and the terrible personal tragedy contributed a lot to that. If there is truth in this I suppose it might be a low risk acquisition with a lot of upside if he can be anything like the player he once was. Certainly adds some meat to our midfield.

Salah on loan from Chelsea. As long as he isn't called up to the Egyptian army.

I've just seen a rumour on Twitter linking us with a loan move for Mohamed Salah at chelsea. I'm going to concentrate on that, and ignore this Palacios nonsense!

Palacios is the kind of player to bring on if you're winning with maybe 15 mins to go to keep it tight or if you're being over run in midfield. I'm happy enough with it if it's true.

He was so disappointing in the WC. Like he wanted to get sent off in that first game and got his wish. He lacks discipline so he needs his aggression channelled properly. Roy Keane should be able to help channel his aggression...

Salah would be a great signing.

Are you saying that the news agencies in Honduras are not reliable?!

Join the Egyptian army or play in front of Alan Hutton

Not sure Palacios is the type of player we need really.  Going forward, I see Westwood as cover for Sanchez and what we need is a dynamic player like Delph who is decent on the ball and can chip in with a few goals.  The previously mentioned Holtby and Dembele would be ideal, even if it was only on loan for a season.

Perhaps the thought is to allow Delph to play further forward.

If you're looking for a midfielder to chip in with a few goals, Dembele is not your man. Excellent player though.

Kippax has form as a serial prankster so I'm not gonna get too worked-up about Wilson just yet.

Dembele is a quality player who would really improve our midfield.
