If Bill was still around, God rest his soul, we’d bid £28m for Delap tonight.

He’s certainly made a difference, I said before Dyche went that a new man could say the say things and get a better response. I think Moyes’ affinity for the club has aided the new manager bounce. I was at the Villa game, not much detectable improvement there but Spurs was encouraging with the...

Moyes was an absolute gent and a lovely chap when he visited Alder Hey when my daughter was in there, and I’m happy he’s back. Imagine how different things may have looked had Moshiri dipped in a bit earlier and we had Moyes Mk 1 spending the Klaasen / Sigurdsson / Bolasie / That Spanish Guy /...

That was my first thought, these eve-of-game rumours always seem to be true. Hope Garner isn’t rushed back, Moyes will love him I think.

15m then, that was Chelsea’s January fee for Barkley. It’s a balance in my opinion. A confident DCL bouncing off the walls and playing with verve ( and within the 18 yard box because he gets support so he’s not messing about in the wide areas) could have us safe in 5 games. Maybe we go on a run...

Here’s a conundrum: DCL scores two against Brighton, Arsenal bid £20m. Do we keep a fired up striker who may or may not leave for nothing, or bathe in PSR riches.

McMahon, Barmby, Barkley

Joe’s only 75, 6 months of Dogs Of War, finish 12th and then take stock in the summer.

Even if the new manager comes in and plays it the same way as Dyche, performances would be vastly improved. He’s floundering now, it’s obvious from his press conferences, and if he shows no conviction in what he tells the players they won’t show it either. Right now we need a spark that burns...

I wonder if he’s reflecting on how little interest teams have in him they won’t float 25m for him. Even if he’s being told he’ll get this and that on a free these teams are so not arsed they’re happy for him to rot for a year.

We should cook up a plan with Chelsea - buy Broja for 50m and sell DCL to Chelsea for 50m. FFP win for both and it doesn’t really matter who plays up front if we don’t cross or pass to them.

That’s astonishing business for us. Imagine the furore if we negotiated a purchase of a player like that. We all went mental when we had to pay Man City when Gareth Barry turned his loan into a free transfer.

Armstrong for Tim and if we have a sub left then Dixon for Young

Remember thinking that after Billy Kenny’s derby, him and Ebbrell was midfield sorted for 10 years in my eyes.

We’ve got 9 subs and only one is a goalkeeper! Crisis club my arse.
