And of course he's just what we need - another attacking midfielder.

You'd need to work in football for 30 years to understand that.

Think it is time to close the thread our wonderful boss has spoken

“It looks unlikely that we will sign anyone. We are not close to anything,”

“I feel a bit guilty going to a press conference during the transfer market with nobody to announce but I don’t want to lie.

“If something exceptional turns up of course we will do it.”
