Here's another thread.

I know what's going to happen, today's thread is going to be filled with Jack Rodwell stuff.

Oh no it isn't!

Take it to the relevant thread please and have your hissyfits, heart attacks and bouts of self mutilation over there.

And cos i'm nice, here's the link.

Lets leave this one nice and clear for any actual proper ITK that crops up.

The Rodwell thing is the most blatant case of Chinese whispers ever.

Picture the scene, two agents talking, someone overhearing ...

Agent 1: How's J-Rod's move progressing?
Agent 2: Well. He's just doing a bit of man shopping in the City before having another meeting with Spurs.

Bold bits are the overheard bits.

Blates.

Good day yesterday, what with signing Dier and JJ saying that he's confident about MS. Hopefully more good news today.

Must say I'd be very happy with another CB and Schneiderlin to complete our signings. I like the way we're doing business this window, and JJ's tweet about Poch, Franco, Daniel, and Broomfield being a team made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

We definitely seem to be planing with one eye on a speedy integration into the team and League this time round.

Most of our ITK is around players with premier league experience or in the case of Dier, someone who shouldn't have any issues in settling.

I spend ONE day away from a computer and we go from the sublime (Dier) to the ridiculous (Rose 5 yr contract).

Poch must see something he likes in him.

Maybe Poch's a patron of the Make-A-Wish Foundation?

Personally I'd have chosen the Disney Land trip for him...

It's almost like we've learned we can't sign 7 players with no Premier League experience and expect them to gel straight away ...

I'm glad we've learnt this lesson, even if other clubs (Looking at you LFC) haven't.
Encouraging to see there appears to be a plan....

Eh? They've signed half the Soton team and wanted Remy

He's confident, aggressive, strong quick and likes to bomb forward. All great qualities.
Unfortunatley, he isnt a great defender, gets lost up front when we are defending and is probably too rash in the tackle.

And he is a better leftback than Naughton.
