Next African Cup of Nations is in 2017, and we'll have sold each of them to a Sky 4 club at a per head profit of £25 million by then anyway.

I thought I'd ask this in here as he is synonymous with deadline day.

Now I know most of us think Jim White is a c**t (this due to the fact he is a c**t, unequivocally) but does anyone actually ... like him? Even just a little bit? I know absolutely no one who likes him in the slightest yet he seems to be Sky's main man so surely some people must like him.

Anyone to stick their head above the parapet? You will not be judged*

Our objective should be to field an entire XI consisting of French players with the first name Jordan and surnames beginning with the letter A
Must be why Jordan Bowery never made the breakthrough. So close but oh so far.

Not exactly prolific but can only be an upgrade on the likes of Weimann and Tonev. For all Sherwood's talk about Gil and number tens looks like we will be going with three up top next season. Gabby, Sinclair, Ayew, Gil and Grealish for two positions supporting a new striker.

Would welcome Ashley Young back with open arms but not sure we need further options out wide unless we can shift Gabby. Hope this puts an end to any Andros Townsend rumours.

Disappointed not to see us linked further with Kyle walker, would be ideal for us. Sherwood had him in midfield for a bit at Spurs so may not rate him. Dembele would be ideal for us too as a replacement for Delph.

I think the likes of Dembele and Adebayor are players we go for on deadline day, where Levy would have to let them go without demanding ridiculous terms. We could certainly use them before then, but would rather not over-extend ourselves for such a privilege.

Swansea play with a number 10 as part of a three man midfield. We have the box-to-box in Gueye and also the 10's sorted in Jack and Gil, its an upgrade on the holding player we need.

Would still love Darder for that role. That or a Bid for Alex Song.

Head above parapet... Definitely a fan of him. I'm not totally convinced by transfer deadline day and the way he is turned into a bit of a celebrity though. Also, having met him and spent a reasonable amount of time with him, I can also legitimately say that he is a really nice bloke as well so not sure why anyone would dislike him other than for his association with, what most on here seem to think is the Devil incarnate, Sky.

If you read around a few sites he is widely regarded as the better of the two brothers.

Really? I've always thought his brother, Andre, was considered the better player.

Burnley are interested in Baker apparently.

Agreed. If the 10 works hard enough then their physical deficiencies can be more than compensated for by having two midfield partners.

Pat Murphy says West Brom are after Ciaran Clarke. Can anyone see this happening? I think we need to keep hold.
