Better still McGeady

Paul Joyce saying Gibson & Oviedo having medicals at Sunderland today

Given Lennon realistically won't form part of the long term plans there's more value in having Dowell on the bench for a few minutes here and there to allow the manager to better assess him when the opportunity arises.

But did at Southampton. Option would be nice.

Don't necessarily have to buy 'backup' - Bony would have provided an option to play two up front or, God forbid, someone to challenge Lukaku so he doesn't feel guaranteed a place. Or so if he does his hamstring, the best option isn't Kone or Enner sodding Valencia.

Level of performance at Anfield seems about right

Last three played approximately 10-12 games between them last season, they are more than adequately replaced by Davies, Dowell, Pennington etc. Goalkeeper is an obvious area for strengthening. And we will.

Is the suggestion not that he has a release clause of around £17m? Him being willing to join is another issue entirely, although financially I'm sure we could make it enticing.

Gone to Dortmund hasn't he?

Squad size is fine in some areas, but a hamstring tear to Lukaku & it's season over. Another striker should be a priority.

Would rather have Mirallas there all day long. And even if we were looking for an option there, Townsend should be a mile down the list. A classic example of media driven over-hyped Spurs player. We could do better for cheaper elsewhere.

*lights candle for Bily*

Although younger Galloway looks the better of the two to me, Browning looks clumsy (all over the place in the mini derby) - don't see him being an answer long term.

Am in Middlesbrough at the moment so wouldn't need the travel, but could collect the tickets by the ground if that's possible?

To paint the stands? Neither good enough, the former additionally a head case. Their one stand out player has been Ki but I'd assume if Swansea have half a brain they will want him back for next season.

Few were suggesting Barkley might not be mentally up for it before Martinez arrived. Playing for a manager that encourages risk taking and will accept mistakes will help his confidence. The injury thing is arguably more of an issue but on balance his potential makes it a worthwhile gamble for me

Smith refused him the wage rise he wanted, sold him and then gave Mark Hughes what Hutchison had been after. Tells you everything you need to know about that era. Hutchison was a proper footballer at a time when we didn't have many.

If you're on a wind up I'm going to hunt you down and make you watch the last half hour of the Wembley cup semi against the dark side on an endless loop for the rest of your life

Suspect RM wouldn't need to scout players he's worked with - is Nick Powell playing?

Would also suggest, given Oviedo is only 23/24, that Garbutt shouldn't be making any long term plans to stay at the club.
