Robin Olsen?

No thanks, can't get in a poor Sheffield Utd team.

tbh I don't think we need a keeper. Martinez is superb, and Steer is good enough for back up.

Steer is nowhere near the quality we need as back up if we want to be pushing on

Olsen is a quality back-up keeper. Swedish papers claim a deal has been agreed.

Man City's 3rd choice Keeper is Scott Carson, so it's not like Olsen will have to be a world beater.

Is that the guy that was at Everton? If it is he reminded me of Nyland in a couple of games.

Wasn't he keeping Pickford out of the team at one point?

I am assuming this would mean Steer going elsewhere and Olsen coming in as second choice.

[eamonn]

Yeah, Jed's had enough.

[VinnieChase84]

Do we think we are done or still have more to bring in this window ?

not done

Yep. Roma paid 12m Euro's and he was Sweden's goalkeeper when England played them in the World Cup so he's not shabby. Roma are still his parent club so it would be like the Tuanzebe situation in that Roma would have to cancel his loan to Sheffield United and then send him to us.

I've seen talk that we would send Steer out to get some games but we could also do that with Sinisalo to further his development.

Yeah. I only really know him as the Swedish national keeper though but he's done well in that role and is well respected.

That’s what I like to hear.

A few reports emerging from Turkey suggesting that Galatasary might be after Trez.

[paul_e]

I suspect Trez will go soon and that will be it for outgoing until the summer (barring some kids on loan). The only thing I can see holding up any deal for trez is afcon but I'd assume he knows we're looking to move him on already so his agent will be working on it regardless.

[brontebilly]

Surely we need a replacement for Tuanzebe or is one of the kids ready to step up? I dread to think how we would cope with a Hause/Mings partnership if Konsa was out for any length of time.

Big game for Sanson you would think at the weekend, assuming he replaced McGinn. Ideal midfield to be playing against.

[paul_e]

If Gerrard believes Hause offers decent cover for both Mings and Konsa then I'm ok with taking the risk of Swinkels/Bogarde/Feeney/New Scottish Kid being a combined 4th choice and give them more time around the senior squad and matchday squad. However I'd also be ok with bringing in a DM who can cover there as well, that's why I like the idea of Zakaria more than bissouma, even without the legal issues.

It's only a shit Twitter link at the moment, but...Luis Suarez?

Out of contract in the summer, almost certain to leave Atletico this month or in six months. Would be on lower wages than we've just given Lucas Digne.
