Nah they're saving them all for tomorrow. The club have finally grasped the concept of positive PR.

Exactement. Deux strikers dans un photoshoot et nous oublions Benteke et Delph toute suite.

Rumours Sherwood was in Barcelona today.

Espanyol centre half Hector Moreno hasn't travelled with the club for their friendlies in France, coincidentally.

If we end up with a net spend of £0 I will be disappointed .
On top of the sale money we are now into mega tv money and at least £25m should be handed to squad strengthening.

Why? We hardly know anything about our players but one or two come with burgeoning reputations that look promising. It is clear that Sherwood is trying to build a high-tempo fast team. If we've managed to do that at the cost of losing Delph and Benteke whilst rebuilding the whole team AND it costing us nothing in terms of net spend surely they can only be a good thing?

He's probably going to sit behind the dugout at the Nou Camp.

Depends if he covers all areas that need strengthening or not. At present we still need another CB and a top quality DCM, that's assuming we sign Adebayour, vertout and Gestade

Should be beaucoup de Chemise Stretchage tomorrow.

Tim Sherwood has responded to Roy Keane’s claims that he was angling for the Aston Villa job while Paul Lambert was in charge - joking that he will sit in the stands at the Nou Camp or Bernabeu next time he is out of work.

That's very good.  I'd have just called him a useless ****** and left it at that.

Moreno is quality. I'd love that.

Some chatter on Twitter about Holgate at Barnsley now too.

[paulcomben]

Arret! Pas de Holgate. Nous avons run out of clothes hooks at Bodymoor Heath.

[Matt C]

Jordan Holgate as he will now be known.

You've had all day to think of something to moan about. Is that the best you can do?

Which is what I just said...
