I thought we already signed him for the reserves (£200k)? :unsure:

There was a deal in place for Baysse but I think he was unhappy that they signed Simpson - and didn;t want to come as a third-choice right back who can also play centre half.

I don't fault the kid's attitude on that.

Considering we probably have zero chance of signing Simpson at the end of the season, that is mildly anoying! :lol:

On a side note, that article has me curious, have you seen some of the figures mentioned? :huh: $27 million for Bresciano?! <_< Also, if we spend anything over 3 million on Grella, i would be disappointed...

Are Rangers really going to pay £12m for Bresciano? That sounds like cobblers to me...

Not a chance. Thats far more than the potential fees that have been included in Bresciano reports recently.

Ince has been on SSN, saying its been really difficult this window to bring in the right players or the players he wants.

He also said he is looking to bring in two players and maybe a third before the window shuts.

The two:

Grella?

Andrews?

The possible third: Fowler :P

a right winger?

I don't care how difficult it's been to get the right players in this transfer window, if we go all the way until Christmas without a good right winger, then Ince has messed up big time. Being prudent in the transfer market is one thing, but if it costs you in points, then you've lost that money anyway.

The press are linking us with Al Habsi, Bolton reserve keeper. Don't know why he would come here as a reserve if he's already there as a reserve, but were a BIGGER club. :P

I was wanting us to go for Al Habsi during the summer. In my opinion last year he performed far more consistently than Robinson. If he were to come then I think he might could be number 1. However I've only seen a handful of games of Al Habsi so would want to see more before I pinned my colours to his mast.

Rovers asked about Al-Habsi but were told no.

Milner is still alive for Villa...but it's hard work.

Bellamy to Man City? It would not be a surprise.

Why are we pursuing this, he should up on Milner and go for SWP. Milners a great lad and a good player but I get the feeling Newcastle are taking us to the cleaners here. I don't understand the huge hold up on it.

Deadline day I bet.....

Surprised Hughes is going for Bellamy, the man has been a sicknote for all of last season.

Fully agree. I can understand why Bolton don't want to let him go though.

He has only made 16 appearances for them, so nobody's really had a good enough look at him. From the goals i saw him let in he looked a bit lightweight and didn't have the ability to reach the shots in the corners, but admittedly I have only seen him in a couple of games.

He has got a long way to go before you can say he should be challenging Robinson for the number 1 shirt.

Maybe. As we both say we don't know enough about him. However providing he's fairly cheap I'm not going to grumble about his signing.
