2 Oliver's in the same team.
How very middle class.



Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce is considering selling striker Christian Benteke, 26. Allardyce is reluctant to part with the club-record £30m summer signing but wants to raise funds to strengthen his squad. (Daily Mirror)

Very much doubt it where we are concerned. He didn't exactly cut it in the Fourth Division.

There really is a lack of reliable whispers going on. I'm waiting for [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] to dangle a carrot

 

[Triggaaar]

Not as busted as it would have been following the logic of 'everyone can just move up a place', from this and the Kaz thread, ultimately resulting in Casper playing right back.

I'm a little disappointed I missed that.

What does that mean?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What does that mean?

By private message (with an admonition to say nuffink, as it is embargoed). When it happens, it feels exactly like an armfull of heroin. Only better

There really is a lack of reliable whispers going on.

I'm tempted to start a rumour, then forget I started it (which is easier than it sounds), just so I can read it on here and believe something is happening.

Come on Brighton, do you want promotion or what!

You got one too I see. Can't believe it's actually happening.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Robbie Keane. Right now I'll be surprised if we don't

[GT49er]

Oh BG you've been doing so well lately, and then this??

Oh my days.

To be fair, he did ask whether other people would find it acceptable. It was a question - OK first responses appear that the answer's a great big 'no', but it was still a legitimate question.

 

[Triggaaar]

Robbie Keane. Right now I'll be surprised if we don't

Why would you be surprised? Maybe he'll go to Ireland.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis is ready to make a new move for Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke, 26, and could finance the deal by selling 23-year-old striker Saido Berahino to Stoke. (Sun)

West Ham are close to wrapping up the transfer of Brentford striker Scott Hogan in a deal worth £15m, having had three earlier bids for the 24-year-old rejected. (Sun)

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce is closing in on the £3m signing of 24-year-old Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson, while Sunderland left-back Patrick Van Aanholt, 26, is also a £7m target for the Eagles. (Sun)

Lewis Grabben interest according to the mirror. That one crops up every window too

Sky sports are saying that the Albion, Fulham and Leeds are chasing Lewis Grabban. I can't believe TB would get involved with him again after his money grabbing attitude during the last negotiations.

Although it's surprising, it's really Chris's decision, I don't think TB would let his feelings (if indeed he's bothered) get in the way.

Villa looking at quite a few signings.

Stephens is possibly one of his 7-8 but I'm sure he'll be told to sling his hook on that one.

You might be surprised. Bloom is a man of great principle. Remember he walked away from signing Virgil Van Dijk because Groningen put the price up by £300k at the last minute, having previously shaken hands on a deal.

Still gutted we missed out there, but even armed with hindsight, I'm still team Bloom on his decision. He was simply not prepared to be ****ed over. Suspect (assuming the stuff went down as has been portrayed on here) that Grabban would get the same response.

Jenkinson is pony, so that would be excellent. Benteke is a great striker, so that too would be excellent. The one I do hope doesn't happen is Van Aanholt to Palace. He's GOOD.

Good going forward for sure. Not so much defensively, which of course, is where Palace's issues lie.

A No 10 who wouldnt cost a lot of money and possibly could make the grade but would he be accepted Ched Evans

No.
