Gibson doing a Gibson. Having another punt, pushing for Bolasie, this Argentinian and money available for a couple more. (Not a lot though) Spence going for £5m

Reported in July that Brest had agreed to sign him for €3m wonder why it fell through. Also that Valencia CF tried loan with option to buy but Rennes wanted permanent. End of the window must have changed that

Difficult to judge this one. Not an area we're desperate to strengthen on paper so you'd hope it's a signing of real quality.

We do love a central midfielder here though!  It's like 17/18 when we signed McNair, Saville, Besic, and then just to be on the safe side, Mikel as well.  We've got Payero and Crooks in so far, Peltier can step in to central midfield as well at a pinch, so another one makes a lot of sense when you think about it 👍

We need a winger far more than another CM so the links to Siliki comes as a surprise. However, it wouldn't surprise me if Howson's struggles this season and McNair struggling to play effectively alongside Crooks in CM may have led to a re-think there. Another potential positive of signing Siliki would be that it would help free Tavernier to play more often on the right wing - so maybe that is part of the thought process behind it also.

It might lead to the stories of tavernier leaving, might be true.

I admire your optimism 👍

Tavernier is an attacking midfielder/winger.

Siliki is a central midfielder/defensive midfielder.

Surely they're not like for like.

And versatile strikers will do a job on the wing, Sporar on the right and Fletcher on the left? 

I do think it's a good signing because Howson has looked poor but only if it's in addition to a winger not instead of
