  How much would he likely cost? And is he our first ever Great Britain international?
  

  
  Isn't it meant to be like £2.5m?

• That's not bad. I assume he'd be on about a trillion a week Man City-type wages though? Anyway, I'll not get too carried away, he's only had a good twenty minutes!

• It's his salary that will be the problem - I think he's on something like £80k a week, which would make him probably our highest paid player if we gave him that.
  
  For us to pay him that much, he'd pretty much have to a 20 goal a season player, or a player who changes games consistently; I don't think he's of that standard.

  No. Tom Cleverley.

  a) He isn't
  b) We wouldn't

• Ok, it's the Daily Mail. He's going to be a daddy, he and Helen have been house hunting in Birmingham.

  They also refer to Lorna Languages from the club, shown in a few of those photos, as "an estate agent".
  
  Would it even be worth renting somewhere for what could be just three months?

• I reckon he might like it here and stay. Maybe he's buying if he thinks he wants to stay.

• Was he commuting from Cheshire when he was at West Brom all last season then?

  But that would assume we knew we wanted him to. And we've also just changed manager.

  I just think he'll enjoy his football under Sherwood. I don't think he'd have stuck around under TSM2 whether we stayed up or not. And I think at the right price which can't be anything crazy for him Sherwood might want him to. Attitude will be everything. Everything's hypothetical off course, but just trying to rationalise why he is looking for a permanent spot, why would he be?

• That's what I am wondering. You're right, he might enjoy his football etc etc but he's on loan, for three months, and was brought in by a manager since given the hoof.
  
  And then again, these are the same things we've said about lots of players who have failed.
  
  I wonder if it is a loan-to-permanent arrangement.

• I didn't realise that Sinclair had also been on loan to Blues and Albion; so he's another one to add to that list who have played for all 3 clubs.

  I wonder if the club provides temporary housing for players on loan with a family and gives them a choice? Once when I moved for a big corp they did that for me.
