Monaco have told us we can have him for 7m Time for serious negotiation then. We need a proven goal scorer Not sure that we have anyone to offload to them? If we are going to get some income from Begovic in the summer then why not take the risk?. Especially if Trippier is less expensive, surely we have £12 million for the 2 of them

I nodded off and missed him then, how did he look? Don't think we'll be signing a Toulouse forward after seeing their misses

Rivière is a very good player and a real goalscorer. In the first part of the Ligue 1 season, he was very efficient and very impressive. Monaco are ultra rich and wages probably high. But a loan is a possibility. A real coup if we can sign him. just go and get him. Fantastic acquisition that would be. In the summer market and January window till now we've spent practically next to nothing. Is the club going to back the new manager or not? Or are we only looking to get players on loan or on the cheap? If Monaco are asking 6 million for him just give them the bloody 6 million coz he's worth every penny. Plus he's young and the return on money spent is guaranteed

Another bloody loan deal.
Any danger of trying to sign another player on a permanent deal?!

The problem is all these players prices are being ramped up the second more than one club shows an interest. That's why we're looking at loan deals because it's the cheap and cheerful option at the moment. We don't want to (by the looks of it) pay over the odds for players that aren't proven or could end up being duds. A risky game to play but that seems to be the way we're operating at the moment.

Not a loan, we have offered £5m.

pulis is after this guy as well according to the papers You would think that the main advantage with Palace is the fact that it is a London based club. Pulis has been promised funding and possible a wage structure with less restrictions? It would hurt even more if he chose Palace before us. He may have his sights elsewhere of course. Come on Stoke, we are watching too many potential signings slip through the net

Come on Stoke, we are watching too many potential signings slip through the net The wage structure at Palace is very rigid. Pulis and Parish are already at odds over it if reports are to be believed. There's no way Palace could outmuscle us financially 'imo' Dunna panic!

Has anyone seen him play?
Impressive goals ratio this season (albeit in a powerhouse team and a freakish 5 goals in his first 4 games).
But a strangeish CV, with his last transfer fee being less than his previous one after only 9 goals in 2 seasons at Toulouse....and the fact that Monaco were willing to let him go to Wigan in the summer.
Hard to really get a handle on him and his potential. His standout quality seems to be pace, which is promising (mind you, so was Jerome's!)

A fit Guidetti, with a head in the right place Arnautovic on one side and Riviere on the other side, looks quite sexy (well on paper at least).

The only way it could work Paul really although an Assaidi jobshare seems likely as part of such a set up and Crouch taking his place on the bench. But....will we be able to get rid of Jones?

I think that this helped us secure the loan of Guidetti.

But wouldn't haven in the least surprised, such appears to be our desperation at times.
i.e. "times" like now.

How would we print all that on the shirt? I suppose we could shorten it to man-rere?
