No idea. I know who he was talking about though!

Haha it's coming back to me now!  Mcleish must have tried to sign him at Blues?

Imagine announcing that you’ve failed to buy a player!

Good stuff that is, especially about Cantwell as I can now indulge the primal urge I have to dislike him for being a poncey little twat.

Halfway through TCR by Sleaford Mods there's a line 'pointy little tit' that's delivered in precisely the way I hear you saying that...

I haven't noticed and I love that track.

In reference to someone liking Garage Punk...

Didn't we do similar once?  May even have been Bellamy thinking about it.  Announced on Pravda that we had made a bid, then nothing else happened.

If you want to subscribe to the Athletic, it's currently on offer for £1pm. Is it worth it?

sounds expensive to me

It isn't bad - the articles are a little different to others around.

It may have been. Him or Bruce anyway.

Had a look, Bruce tried to sign him twice in 2005. He ended up joining Blackburn.

Fairly sure we bid for him that summer. We signed Baros for a similar amount a few weeks later.

Think Doug said we had matched Chelsea's £11M bid for Lampard from West Ham.

We did bid, remember my colleague who was a big Newcastle fan texting me about it as I was in Barcelona.

Ok, ok, it's well fit to announce players you don't sign!

[Billy Walker]

Isn't Cantwell the grandson of former man utd player Noel Cantwell?  That link alone would make me steer clear as I suspect his ambition will be to use whatever club he plays for next as a stepping stone to his grandfather's club.  Thanks but no thanks.

Gk Alphonse Areola signing for Fulham is a class signing  its loan and would have taken him at Villa
Very decent buy but

he was mentioned to be going to Arsenal which would free up Martinez to a move to Villa.

Noel,Noel, Noel, Noel that is the name of that wanker Cantwell
Popular festive  tune, back in the day.

If Demari Gray of Leicester  is being made available yes please.
I also think Rasmus Falk for Copenhagen who was involved vs England last night could be someone to bring in for midfield roles.

Wouldn’t be happy with Gray, very average IMO
