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

Any idea why Barry didn’t take the penalty?

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.

Would his hair be acceptable there?

It's so frustrating.  A few good results this month and we would be all set for a real tilt at getting back into the Champions League and winning tne Europa League if we could add a couple of real quality players in January.

They've got a sponsorship deal in with Wahl to fund the move.

Ivan Toney and Conor Gallagher on loan? Can we loan more players?

Width we need someone, Diaby back on loan?

Say loans as I have no idea if we have money or if we do how much we can spend.

We are allowed four loans in total and currently have used up the domestic ones so only two more left. God knows what a loan for Toney would cost in wages though, and I'm not sold on Gallagher as that is one place we are stocked up.

We need two but equally I dont see the point in jettisoning both Guessand and Sancho, so one should is enough.

Given where we are in the league can we attract quality players for our tilt at the top 4 and not include them in the Europa League squad?

Gallagher has turned us down once already. Striker and winger for me.

What does Gallagher add that we haven't got already?  If we have any money to spend, do it on something we really need, a pacy winger.

Can play on the flanks. The mini McGinn we thought we were getting with Elliot.
