Azmoun looks good, but only signed for Rostov in the summer and apparently Liverpool have been keeping an eye on him.

Surprisingly Iran are currently ranked at 27 in the world by Fifa...
Crouch would be a good signing for most Championship clubs, but with Murray and Hemed already here he isn't the type of player that we need to add. What we instead need is the type of player that flourishes playing alongside that type of striker i.e. one who has pace, knows how to run into and...
Berahino arriving could have a destabilising effect on the team, he's never struck me as having a good team ethic about him. Bit like with Ravel Morrison any deal would only work if he knuckled down and fully buy into achieving promotion, but as his contract is up at the end of the summer would...
On paper Villa already have the strongest strike force in the league with McCormack, Kodjia, Ayew and Gestede, plus their other options include Agbonlahor and Kozak. Wouldn't think Watford would be too keen on loaning to a club that has a stockpile of options already, but apparently there's...
Was a highly promising young player at Liverpool and doesn't have a bad record at youth level with them but is yet to feature for Watford in any competitive match (he joined them in the summer), but has made the bench for them a few times this season. Looks like he has a bit of pace, but...
According to the Sunday Express both us and Newcastle are in for Lampard

Situation up there is complicated. It's no secret that Forest are up for sale. They were in advance talks with several people over the summer, a deal with Red Bull broke down because Fawaz wanted to maintain a % of the club and stay on as chairman. Then a deal with the guy who owns Olympiacos...
Was surprised that Montanier didn't get the boot from Forest before the international break,as the chairman there is a little trigger happy he seemed to be a dead man walking. Tonights performance should see him safe for a couple more weeks at least.
He's just the type of young, pacey striker needed that would come in and instantly have a positive effect, but he's only just signed a new 5 year deal with Forest and given how prices in the January window are always inflated, he wouldn't be a cheap option. Wouldn't be surprised if it took a bid...
Think we can all say that he's well and truly burnt his bridges with this club... anyhow he's Southgates right hand man at mo, so little chance that shyster would be interested.
Andy Naylor just tweeted
"Confirmation Villa-bound Calderwood has resigned as Albion No.2. Was placed on gardening leave Saturday to serve notice period. #bhafc"
That ban kicks in at the exact point he signs for another club, but as he can't sign with another club until the 1st of Jan he's unlikely to be match fit at that point anyway.
Alireza Jahanbakhsh is at AZ Alkmaar, 3 goals and 3 assists in 9 appearances this season,... but it's in the Eredivisie league where it's not exactly difficult for an average player to look talented.
We may have had a scout at a game that Lupoli was playing in, but highly doubt they would have been present to specifically watch him.
If a forward does come in during the January window then it'll either be a half season loan from a Premiership club or the permanent signing of a promising...
