Reports that we’ve agreed the fee for Trezeguet and he’s on the way.

Chester was injured, playing on the wrong side of defence, our only recognised centre-back, in front of an out of form keeper and behind a midfield missing it's best player.... 

We need to keep him.

So Trezeguet, Luiz and Marvelous sound like they are coming in but we still need a keeper and a striker which makes 5, but Christian and Dean been saying 3 or 4?!?

They are probably counting luiz as done.

Sturridge back on the radar according to Beeb Gossip/Mirror. I think it could work providing it is a sensible contract.

No to Sturridge, he has lost his motivation to play, and is only interested in the lifestyle.

A resounding no to that - it would be like signing Ravel Morrison to the power of infinity.

Approaching 30 years old, injury prone and FA seeking to have his ban extended to 6 months. It would be a free transfer but on high wages. Thanks but no thanks. Avoid.

It would make signing Richard's look like a prescient masterstroke.

I'd be happy with just Heaton, Trezeguet and Douglas, i would imagine at that point we'd be looking to offload Hogan, Nyland, Tosser and Bree.

Any more would be a bonus, Marvellous could come in and we could sell Lansbury for instance, another wide attacker could come in and we could loan out Green, or another central striker could come in and we could loan out Davis for example.

Sturridge would be a massive step backwards for our recruitment strategy. He is old, unmotivated, and has zero sell-on value.

Surely that's fake news.

No no 100 times no.

No sell on value, astronomical wages for his injury record. File under Richards, M.

Also not keen given his recent misconduct that he seems to have gotten off very lightly for. Banned for 6 weeks during the summer? Surely it should of been x games?
