What happened to the fellow at Exeter, Watkins, we were linked with?  I thought he was a big mobile target man.

Signed for Brentford this summer I think.

And he'd be a RB worth about £3m!

I give it 48 hours before Lambert emerges in an interview banging on about how he wanted to sign him.

They can have Richards, Branca, and co ;) I wonder why Steve Bruce haven't tried to buy a South American for Villa yet. I love them :(

They were linked with Amavi in the most improbable rumour of the year.

L'Equipe reporting that Amavi is off to Monaco. Can we not bump up our price five-fold to relieve Monaco of some of their summer windfall?

How can a side who played such scintillating football as they did last season think that Amavi will be an adequate replacement for anything?  Please let it happen.

Looks like Elphick to Blues for a loss (say 2m), McCormack to Sunderland for a loss (say £4M), and Amavi to Monaco for a loss (loan and then £9m next season has been mooted).

That brings in £6m now, £9m later and knocks a fair bit off the wage bill. Should be enough to bring in striker and maybe a left back as cover for Taylor).

Hopefully Bruce sees sense and Bacuna and Hutton go too.

Amavi cost us less than £9m didn't he? Plus a loan fee would surely be at least a £1m so at worst we're evens on that one.

good business for a player at times that has looked awful , mind Aly Cosko went for 15 million once.

Just hope Elphick , fatty Mac and Bacuna sod off before the window and Richards if our dreams come true but I reckon SB rates him ..
