And correct me if I'm wrong, but Bruce suggested this was a surprise and we were linked to Hogan earlier in the season weren't we?

We were, but I'm guessing Steve Bruce has better things to do than browse threads such as this one, or the more witless branches of social media to remember every player who had been mentioned over the last few months.

Quite. Fried chicken isn't going to eat itself and electronic gates won't climb themselves.

Well, exactly.

Merely an observation.

Blimey. Talk about a most hectic January window. We talk about signals of intent and if nothing else we have signalled intent. It will be interesting to see it all come together and how Bruce combines everyone strategically. But exciting times. And thank you Doc and team for putting it altogether. Or at least doing their best to.

Isn't Dean Smith a Villa supporter so he's bound to be putting in a good word as well as making sure we get a discount that's not available to the counterfeiters.

We were linked at the end of December, but then West Ham started bidding once the window actually opened and it was assumed he'd end up there.

If nothing else, it might nobble Brentford for tomorrow evening.
west ham have 25m to spunk though from the sale of payet . Maybe they think they can do better than hogan now with that kind of money?
