So when you say Felipao you really mean Scolari, and when you say laterals you really mean wide players?

Come on Volly, lets try keepin it real for a change.

Ah, but a lateral isn't just your ordinary FB though, is it?

No, the ankles are much shorter.

Cabaye to PSG seems a done deal. Reports are saying close to £20 mill

How much did we offer for him?

12m. Was branded as derisory while PSG's opening offer of 14m was considered respectable.

Easy enough to respect an offer of £14m when it's going to rise to £20m.

We bid 10 million actually. 14 million is 40 percent more and that's quite significant.

Then again they wanted more than double our amount, and Cabaye stock has risen after the season he has had

Easier for them to justify selling for less to us when he is going abroad.

They will miss him a lot so will need to get a good replacement in, I'm guessing Man Utd have better targets in mind but thought he would do a very good job for them.

Stock has risen but his contract had 6 months less on it. And he's going to go in the summer one way or another. Newcastle have little left to fight for this season so it makes very little difference to them.

#Mitroglou is set to join @FulhamFC: €14M to Olympiakos and four year contract for the geek striker

14m Euros is chump change for a player with his record in Europe and at international level.

I know he looks a bit funny, but still harsh to call him a geek.

Sky are suggesting that Chelsea will go for Costa this window.
Based on what exactly I'm not sure.

His 1 in 3 international level record?

His notable goalscoring record in Europe where he has scored 12 include-

2 against Sheriff
1 against Standard liege
1 against Bordeaux
2 against Montpellier which finished 9th in ligue 1
3 against Anderlecht
2 against us ( 1 had a defence which included Squillaci, Meade and Jenkinson)

Truly remarkable

In the league for Olympiakos he has a less than 1 goal per 2 games and considering it is a pretty poor league (worse than the dutch) it's not really great is it. 41 league goals in 86 games.

Kevin Mirallas the last decent player to come from there had a much better record at 34 in 52 and he has a 10 in 49 here

Liverpool open talks with FC Dnipro over a deal for winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, with the Ukrainian club wanting a fee in excess of £15m #lfc

Very interesting player, Konoplyanka. Destroyed England at Wembley not too long ago.

Poor man Hazard, but useful enough. I wouldn't mind him here actually.

We should have a pop at him , 15m
