Good news. So coupled with the Bruce quote about not buying numbers for the sake of it we should be looking at 4-5 new players in the starting line up.

My guess is 1 keeper, 1 full back, 2 midfielders and one striker as the nice-to-have.

I'm guessing Johnstone is the loan deal?

What does 'preparing a bid' actually mean?  Are we or aren't we?

Sending the secretary to the letterhead paper cupboard, changing the cartridge in the fountain pen, switching the fax machine on, it all takes time. Someone ought to introduce them to email, it's so much quicker.

I'd be happy selling both Ayew and McCormack.  Get money for Ross whilst we can can and I don't see what Ayew adds to the team.

Give RHM a chance.

Excellent choices ,except for Huddlestone whose mobility and workrate would have us remembering Ginola and Pires as workaholics.

Nigel Sphinx has said in a horrible rag that he's heard a rumour that Jordan Rhodes has been seen at Bodymoor Heath

Very good sentence.  The inscrutable Sphinx is a very good starting point for our transfer dealings.
