Not seen that one out there in the media. Would be delighted if true - such a waste for him sitting on the Ben h at the spuds. Been all over twitter for the past week.

I dont know how it all works but im sure it will be a tough one to get over the line, with work permits and medicals . Good ol Brexit . If he has been playing in the Bundesliga, he will get a work permit. No problem

Second that! Even look a bit like a certain Kante that pushed Leicester to their PL crown...just what we need. Get him on board, please.

How does the expression go, “if you are good enough, you are old enough”. I get where you are coming from about experience though and there is no reason why we can’t have a look at some of the old hands that might be available on loan to do a job temporarily for us.

He'll sit on the bench for a while. In the meantime Schlupp, Luka, Riedwald all gone by next season. Ozoh to figure in more games with Doucoure in preparation.

I suspect whatever funds are available during this window won't stretch to an experienced and proven CM who isn't over the hill. But in reality, what proven CM with sell on potential could we realistically get?

I've often felt that the biggest advantage of a January signing is they hit pre-season running. Anything you get from them before that is a bonus.

Lets just hope Everton dont come knocking . I'd be surprised if they replaced one ex-PL midfield great early into his management career with another - Vieira would be an enormous gamble. Oddschecker don't even have Vieira listed but they do have Pardew, Sol Campbell, Gerrard, and bringing Benitez back... If they did pinch Vieira, I reckon we'd have Dyche in the door within 5 minutes and, to be honest, don't think we'd necessarily be any worse off.

Sorry but if a horrible little club like Bournemouth on their 10k crowds can chuck money around in January then we ought to be able to do permanent deals with 10 years behind us in this league !! 1. They have new owners. All good reasons why they're forced to spend above the odds in a traditionally difficult window to do good deals.

I too would have thought that, and I thought when leaving Wembley all those years ago after winning promotion that if we could stay up that first season and with a bit of shrewd management it would be the making of us…. But 10 seasons later and with over £1bn quid we’ve seemed to have fvcked it right up.
