I don't want to give any more clues out on the names I think it has come down to...trying hard to crack this...hopeful.

----------------------------------------------

nicko is it a new target or not?

Hilarious - as a kid were you one of the ones who wouldn`t take no for an answer ?

[Ewood and I Would]

Find the Downing story odd. How does he pass a medical?

The same way RSC passed one at Man City and Ronaldo passed his at Madrid despite both carrying injuries/healing at the time of the their transfers.

[Taggart]

Nicko - How does the Downing deal leave Young? Available to move or not?

Id say that the fact Nicko says Major, wouldnt be relevant to any of the 2 names you mentioned - or at least im hoping it isnt!!

We could be about to break the bank and completely smash our transfer record for Crouchy, or even be pitching for Bent - they would both fit int he "major" bracket, if that ws what Nicko even meant at all, by major - we could all be reading too much in to his use of language you know

Indeed, I'm sceptical too, tabloid sensationalism and all that.

A bit like story that would shock the world of football (or something to that effect), which turned out to be a Championship goalie having taken some cough medicine.

"When you sit in Row Z and the ball hit's your head, that's Zamora..."

Brilliant! (for people of a certain generation!)

[47er]

I'm terrified that it's Benjani or Davies. I think if it's not either of those two I'll be relieved and therefore probably quite content.

Isn't it a foreign striker? Sam said that he was focussing his search abroad a day or two ago because England was too expensive and LT confirms that today. Mind you Jones is Welsh!

Which Jones? Kenwyne is from Trinidad and tobago or somewhere like that

[T4E]

He meant Tom.

[gumboots]

He meant Tom.

No wonder none of us guessed the identity of our new big signing

[Taggart]

Which Jones? Kenwyne is from Trinidad and tobago or somewhere like that

Or was it Bridget ?

BFS also said in his interview, that if any home based players became available, then he would be interested and would check price/wages etc

[den]

Reading Sam's comments in the LT, where he's saying progress has been made, - could that mean that we've had a bid for Crouch accepted?

My thinking behind it, is that he also said that Crouch would be welcome, as long as the overall package wasn't too expensive.

[Hughesy]

Could this be one of the targets?

SSN - 13.05 Atletico Madrid striker Florent Sinama-Pongolle has hinted that he could consider joining Marseille, but insists he has yet to be contacted by the French club.

Why?

all i wanted to know if it was a new target thats all, oh well i am sure we will find out soon!

[jrabrfc]

Crouch in talks with Sunderland according to the BBC - does that make Jones available?

There used to be a rule when our kids were little. Ask once only. You'll get one of 3 answers yes, no or we'll see. we'll see meant that we would consider whatever it was they had asked for. Every time after that that you asked the same question brought the we'll see closer to the no than the yes. Kids soon learnt that we would make up our minds fairly and pestering was likely to deprive them of what they wanted. If we had to say no we always explained why.

That has actually made me laugh out loud - boy I think we have too much time on our hands !

[BPF]

I've just found out i'm being fired at the end of July so sod working! I'll be here all day thank you...

I have. I'm free - no class to teach but all the jobs I actually need to do I need to be in my room for and someone else is teaching in my room so i can't do them!

[philipl]

can someone , who is a little less sceptical than me explain why vieri is being given the time to get fit whilst RVN has been discounted by sam for not being fit until september?

in sams own words vieri is way behind the rest of the squad in terms of fitness , and seeing as though he is 36 logic suggests he may take him longer to get fit than a younger player , vieri may not be ready until september either then!

i understand the financial package will be different between the 2 players , but sams comments seem to be aimed directly at RVN fitness not salary

if we sign di santo on loan as nicko is confident, we'll have him , roberts mccarthy and probably gallacher as strikers for the first 6-8 games , surley that would be enough if RVN was waiting in the wings as he bulids up match fitness

RvN is one hoof away from the knacker's yard apparently. He is as likely to be fit for next season as Shergar.

Then he is on £120k a week for hay and carrots.

Does that mean you know where Shergar is? have you tried claiming the reward. you could give it to Allardyce to help with the transfers.

[Torgeir]

What about Jo? If City are buying Adebayor then surely he's on his way out. I know Everton were interested in loaning him again, and there might be work permit problems but he would be a good addition Imo.

Haven't they already completed the loan deal?
