    Sky also now reporting we have bid for Gayle! Would love him at the club but can't help thinking we are spending to much, hopefully it's not a sign that Sessegnon is going to be sold, having said that if we he went for £25 million and we got a big sell on clause inserted and brought in Gayle, Jota and Forestieri I would be slightly tempted.

    I imagine the Gayle link is just paper talk, but if it's not it begs the question - could Rui Fonte play on the right? We tend to play only one striker in our preferred formation and I can't imagine either Gayle or Fonte sitting on the bench as a Plan B option.

    I can't believe the figure being quoted for Gayle of £15m that we are prepared to pay it
    Especially that we've gone through the whole of the summer months looking at getting in bargain basement players and shunning marquee players. There must have been a sudden change in our circumstances to contemplate a drastic spend like this.
    Whether that is a combination of the Aluko transfer and Man City buying out a Transfer clause in Patrick Roberts contract.

    Fonte certainly can play on the right wing.

    Calling it now - we only sign one player today and it's a previously unmentioned player from the Bundesliga 2.

    It appears that Jota has this morning signed for Birmingham, realy liked the look of this guy
    would have been an ideal replacement for our recent departure.
    6mil is the suggested figure + 8mil for a c/f about the figure wanted for Gayle ??

    Sky sports soccer reporter stated that at 10: 30 Fulham tabled a 15m bid for Gayle,
    as yet there has been no comment from Newcastle

    Could be very close Surly.

    Zenit have agreed to cancel Yohan Mollo's contract, so he has become a free agent.

    And L'Equipe, according to this link, are saying that we're now on the brink of signing the 28 year old French left winger.

    Indeed, only error is with mileage between Germany and Russia .......... for now anyway.
    I've been waiting on news of Messi joining us but looks like he is staying put too.
    It's not all over until SNN says so.

    Blimey, didn't expect it to be announced that quickly.

    So there we have it. A winger, a free transfer and given a 2 year contract - fits Aluko's profile perfectly. Oh, and did I say earlier that he's also 28?

    All I really wanted today was a big strong physical centre half, basically a player I thought Sigurdsson would be.. Anyway still a few hours left just disappointed Handly went to Norwich.

    Maybe something, maybe nothing. On Stevenage Road before the Carabao Cup match had a chat with our new man Rafa Soares. Well, I made the usual solicitous noises and he nodded. Anyway, the one thing I did get from him is that he'll be wearing the No. 5 shirt.

    Obviously Rafa won't be playing centre half. Giving him that number suggests nobody new will either.

    Jordan Graham signs on loan for Wolves another winger which suggests to me no more strikers. I'm a big fan of Piazon but given the amount of wingers we have and his injury I would terminate his loan.
    Graham intrigues me I have this gut feeling he is going to be good.

    If we don't terminate Piazonstefan loan then that's it for loans, technically we could get more but we now have five and it is a maximum of five in any match day squad.

    That should read "winger", yes another one. From Wolves on a season loan.

    Sky reporting Fulham's business is now complete.. I for one am very happy although a centre half would have made it perfect ( maybe Handly instead of Djalo) but when you think about it from last season we have...

    Cyriac out - Kamara In
    Martin out - Fonte in
    Malone out - Soares in
    Christiansen out - Cisse in
    Aluko out - Graham in
    Sigurdsson out - Djalo in

    Mollo - in
    Norwood - in

    Cairney and Sessegnon - new contracts

    Certainly no worse than last season

    And to that list, in terms of "business done" this window, we can add:

    Kalas
    Piazon
    Ojo
    Bettinelli - new contract
    S. Sessegnon - new contract

    [6 of them are on loan of course, which is a slight downside.]

    Just as a point of interest Rolan has been useless so far this season. In fact, Malaga have only scored 1 goal and had 10 shots on target in their 5 matches so far this season. They sit rock bottom with no points. It's fair to say that on the evidence so far I don't think he would have been a great signing.

    Oh, and Enrich scored at the weekend. His first this season (he's played in all 5 league games) and against Barca, too. Mind you Eibar were beaten 6 - 1 in the end.
