When DEADLINE DAY

[@GB160 with the spot]

Just had a brief convo with my mate, and got a few small bits.

MS (From MS side if things).

There are a few clubs showing interest and as I have already posted they have two firm bids in for him from two clubs. Am told he would still choose Poch(not Spurs) over both the other clubs though, so it's all about whether we really want him or not. Ali says we are still interested(which is great news), but the fact is MS still wants out badly and this very well may be a case of getting a fee agreed quickly or it may never happen.

Outgoings (very good source close to Poch)

Loads available, and interest in most of them. Getting rid of some of these is the key to who we bring in. Barring WF Poch is very happy numbers wise, and it is only the quality he is looking to upgrade. He would happily upgrade at, CB, CM and CF IF we can move the relevant players out first. I must stress though that Poch is very happy with the squad as is, but is also aware that it has contains a few players that are not really up to what he wants them to achieve. All the names have been mentioned countless times Sandro, Naughton, Lennon, Townsend, Ade, Soldado, Paulinho Fryers plus a few younger fringe players(loans) could all be part of the permutations of 4-5 out. Been told it definitely won't be a case of both Lennon and Townsend, or Ade and Soldado, and that the priority for today is making sure we are covered and balanced throughout the squad as best as we possible can be.

J-Rod/Wing Forward

I know Jjetset has said no chance but Poch still wants him in now. Fairly sure a WF will happen today as it is the one area that Poch believes we don't have covered. He doesn't believe either AT or AL are close to being an option playing from the left, and if there was a rabbit to b pulled today it will be one that play in this position if the likes of Welbeck/J-Rod prove to be unsuccessful.

*Opinion* if Saints are willing to sell we need to move quickly this morning if we want him, before things get too far down the line with one of the other interested parties. This is still doable from what I hear so now it is all down
