Ferguson from Brighton via rome seems to have lost his way a bit so would be cheap. strong, knows where the net is, technically better than the likes of strand-laursen

Lost his way would be an understatement. Can't or won't run seems to be his biggest issue.

No thanks - a bad idea. Sure he may be 80m in 4 years time but he is more likely to be playing for Plymouth

I took a punt on him in the new Football Manager and he took us to the title scoring a goal a game.

Sorry if this has been said , but do we have someone lined up in January that needs to be paid for with the £35 million if we have for Elliott and that is why we are holding up on games

Think it is more that Unai doesn’t want to spend £35m on him at all and would rather have that money to spend elsewhere be it in January or next summer.

It’s an odd situation…you’d presume Liverpool don’t want him back but if he stays all season and doesn’t play again we won’t have triggered the £35m and his value will have plummeted for others to buy.  On the flip side if they lift that clause so he is an option to play for us and he does well we are a direct competitor to them now as they are in the gaggle of clubs for whom 3rd is the best can do.  Tricky one.

The new DoF has probably been given the budget to go and prove himself.

No. Because he can't play for anyone other than Villa or Liverpool this season.

Any idea why Barry didn’t take the penalty?

Think it'll be a Duran-esque punt this Jan if we do any business at all - and that's regardless of whether Elliott goes back or not.

I'd rather have better cover than Lidelof for the £ we're forking out there n'all. But expect that might be one for the summer.

Got too comfy and fat in Brighton. I can empathise.

Jacob Tanswell reckons we'll be in for Kaio Jorge in January,  a 23 year old Brazilian striker at Cruzeiro. Scored 21 goals in 32 games this season and has recently been called up to the national team.

Cruzeiro bought him off Juventus in the summer window last year for £5.5m, he's been on loan alongside Enzo Barrenechea at Frosinone scoring 3 goals in 22 games. Previously he'd played 9 games for Juventus without scoring before being out injured for 15 months. Now at Cruzeiro he scored 7 goals in 23 games in his first year and this year he finally found his scoring boots with 26 goals in 43 games. He's played 20 minutes for Brazil recently without scoring.

Now Cruzeiro want/dream of £30.6m for him. We've been linked with him for some time so no surprise his name has come up. If we do sign him I hope 50% of the deal is made up with clauses. He's 24 in January so still young enough to learn a trick or two.

Big fan of signing Brazilians with first names as surnames. Igor Thiago, Carlos Alberto, Taff Pharrell, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Ro Mario, were all pretty decent.

I feel like I'm in some shit Black Mirror episode where all anyone suggests is which club Elliot could go to.

I've heard he wants Ross County, and he wants them now. They're prepared to let their best shearers at him and the finances work like fuck. Just what I've heard.
