Are we going to replace Guessand or just bank the dough and use Bailey? 

Emey suggested the latter this afternoon. I don't know though, he seems to love a deal.

Ah right, cheers.  So we're probably done and from now until the end of the season it's a case of being demanding of ourselves, individually and collectively, and in our way / structure.  And praying to the football gods that we don't get any more injuries. 

I do think though, that that's the answer he'd give even if we were hoping to bring in someone else.

Still wouldn't be surprised to see another loan come in on Monday. Wouldn't be surprised if we didn't either, mind.

A few people on the AV1 bus back last night spoke about Harry Wilson from Fulham for Gbp10m. Haven't seen it anywhere on line so no idea if it was just speculation. Good player.

Still think they’ll try to make one more move. Perhaps just a loan from abroad, but one more.

With the greatest of respect to your sources, I don't think people on a bus will have any particular inside knowledge.

Hopefully Vinnie will be able to confirm if there's anything to it.

It was Prince William and Nassef on a ‘men of the people’ vibe.

Unai said in his press conference he didn’t think there would be any surprises on transfers now

The man on the Clapham omnibus used to be a regular source…

Au contraire, I always take my information off people on the buses. I caught a bus from Liverpool to Widnes once to watch Everton Reserves vs Villa Reserves with a couple of Evertonians. There was a chap on the bus who told me that if you ring the “stop” button an odd number of times it turns some kind of government surveillance system on - they’re tracking random old scousers who travel to Widnes obviously - and proceeded to ring it an additional time whenever someone pressed it an odd number of times.

He also told me that “Everton is an anagram of Never Turn”, which both sounded unimpressive and was factually incorrect. So he seemed the man to put my faith in.

Well they wouldn't be surprises if he told us about them.

Might have been Emery on the circular.

And because we're all expecting two or three more massive signings on Monday.

So we're not going to be surprised when that inevitably happens.

Rashford has just told his Barcelona team-mates to fuck off and is on his way to BHX according to my source (the voice in my head).

He had to catch the next one so nothing doing.
