Lucky guy. Antwerp is brilliant.

I went to Antwerp once. Took a wrong turn and instead of ending up in the Grand Place (or whatever it's called) I ended up in area that looked like Beirut, was full of strip clubs and prostitution and had an old bloke who looked homeless and had his trousers round his ankles shouting at me to get off his street as they were all his girls.

I think Leeds want McCormack on loan......leave him in Australia if that’s the case

His loan deal runs out on Friday of this week

If that's the case, I would thank the Aussie's for getting the porker into some sort of decent shape an plonk him on the bench. We need back up for Hogan.

He's 31 years old. As much as they might be a rival if a club comes in and offers decent money for a player who is past his best, who we spent a lot on and has no value to us then we have to consider it. Yes he might score a few for them but he doesn't automatically turn them into any more of challenger than they are right now. Leeds have a decent goalscoring record already. What they can't do is defend that well and unless McCormack is coming in at CB or goalie then I don't think it's that a big a deal if this story has any truth to it. And just because he's bagged a few in Australian football let's not get carried away that he's suddenly going to tear it up in the Championship.

According to SkyFootball Whispers.

Liverpool’s attacker Lazar Markovic is the next most likely signing for Aston Villa,

The site, affiliated to Sky Sports, rates all the most likely global transfers and rates them out of five.
Five means a certain move and currently Markovic  ( 3.9 ) is in the top 10 most likely global transfers to happen next in January.
Markovic, despite showing lots of promise, has struggled at Liverpool since his £22.5m move from Benfica in the summer of 2014.
The winger has been sent out on loan moves to Fenerbach, Sporting CP and Hull City.
The 23-year-old returned from Hull in the summer but hasn’t made an impression on Klopp’s first team.
He made 14 appearances at Hull and scored two goals, after 34 appearances for Liverpool that saw him register just three goals.

Probably on loan IF it happens, maybe Brucie knows him from hi Hull days(?)...............Godzvilla!

I think Bruce was at Villa when Hull had him on loan.  I wouldn't take any notice of an app/ site that bases possible transfers on algorithms.

If Leeds want really want him, we should offer a swap for that Vieira lad they've got in midfield.

McCormack can’t join another English side until the summer can he? Or does that only apply to loans?

Would prefer to see Andre Green given a chance, thought Markovic joined Hull after Bruce left?

I too was there and remember on the ferry back the optimism that we would pull the tie back - we lost 1-0 at Villa Park!
I also remember the escort from the ferry ( no not that type of escort Drummond!) Through the City centre to the stadium during rush hour - we brought the City to a standstill
That was our first foray into Europe wasn't it?
