I did say the other day to expect a bid for Eccles to come in the summer. There are whispers. I wouldn't have expected it this window though. I agree with what you said though about it being strange as he did turn us down after fee was agreed. He's also spent 2 months out injured.

Another solid team performance today. Allen and Torp have bossed that midfield recently, both everywhere and Torp today with some great defensive play, especially with their quick corner. I'm really pleased for BTA and Simms. Just goes to show what this run is doing for them. Simms great hold up...

No knew info for me today. I think a lot depended on whether a substantial bid came in for either BTA or Lati, as to how we would respond. That hasn't happened, so i guess we stick.

Haven't heard anything with regards to him being loaned out, but will ask the question tomorrow.

Apparently so. That could be quite an asset to us when playing both down that side.

All i've heard about him is that he is very well thought of in training. The new coaches like him, and he puts in maximum effort. I heard he was quicker in a foot race than MVE which is interesting. It's a shame he suffered quite an unpleasant injury and then got an impact injury in training...

I completely agree with this. I don't see why the strikers have to be pitted off against each other all the time, they are each useful in their own way and we should just back them all. We could have sold Gyokeres and signed one complete finished article but we would have paid the price for...

I was told at the Watford game that the RB talks had broken down for a permanent move but the CM was going well. He said still a possibility of a loan, and also that interest in BTA was growing.

Yeah, that's a fair assessment. I'm neutral when it comes to King. I've seen the good things he has done / is doing. He's obviously stuck to his word by backing him, heard it's rising to £4m with add ons, so that is a statement. Obviously we can't just buy all the time so the books will have to...

I honestly never had a name on this one. He said Lampard had been told he would be backed for the right players, and that talks with the CM and RB would be for permanent. Loans where possible. He will give me names when it comes to possible outgoings, he's not as cryptic. I think i'm in the...

No i wouldn't say it's the biggest priority either (until MVE leaves). It's clearly an area they are looking at though for permanent cover, whether that be now or the summer. Whoever the RB was they were talking with, it was for a permanent transfer.

Yeah of course, he's a better option currently than Sandiford Jr. If they can bring in someone more experienced than Burroughs for that position on loan, then that would be another solid addition. I was only told possibility of right sided loan, that could mean a winger, RB was only my...

Yeah i think MVE needs some sort of cover, this could be why they are still looking at the possibility of the right sided loan. It's an area of weakness. I don't think Lati offers the right cover if we continue to play with fullbacks and his pace is concerning when covering RB. Eccles is an...

I was just referring to what i was told at the start of the window. That we had been in ongoing talks with a RB and CM, it seems as though the RB talks have broken down by what i was told Saturday, but the CM ones were still going strong.

Where has the news come from that he's put in a transfer request? If it's reliable then that is a huge positive.

That's true, but i think we may see some more movement in and out before the end of the window.

It seems so, i heard about the talks with the CM and RB about a week before the window, so they've obviously been working through things for a long time. When we establish a good relationship like this, they tend to eventually get done. Whereas we've seen in the summer, when the clubs agree the...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for this one, i agree it would be a great signing.

Apologies i've only just seen this. I was told at the game that the RB talks had broken down, that the CM talks were still going well. We are actively scouting for a LB / LWB (think this will be for the summer window), i believe JDS will leave in the summer. Still possibly looking at right...

If it is Grimes, i know the talks with the agent have been going on for a long time, so there's a good probability the player is wanting the move.
