One for the summer but... Joe Hart reportedly in swap deal for Kasper Schmeichel!

[Ludo]

Unless we're bringing in a top centre half, two full backs and Messi I don't care.

[Lekos]

Let's hope Jesus lives up to his name.

[Swiss]

Unless we're bringing in a top centre half, two full backs and Messi I don't care.

You missed gk off there

[Ludo]

We've always got Angus Gunn

[Swiss]

Can't do much worse...

[Neil Mcnab]

I think whoever thinks Koke is arriving in this window is doing a line themselves. Seeing him play for Spain and AM, he looks OK. But over 100 million?

[Swiss]

Not seen £100m quoted

[Neil Mcnab]

It must be true, its in the Sun:-

[Swiss]

Ah, his release clause is £125m. That's where that is.

[goat]

pretty sure the papers still dont get that release clauses are part of spanish law, hardly any match what clubs value players at

[gavin]

For some reason I don't see us doing much business in January.

[Swiss]

Me either, but if Zabs injury proves to be cruciate damage too, their hands may be forced into their pockets.

[lee]

 City are chasing Southampton's Virgil van Dijk!!

[Ludo]

Who'll end up playing like Dick van Dyke.

[Swiss]

Diagnosis...Murdering strikers!

[goat]

dicks and dykes, you will set pesty off

[Neil Mcnab]

 Apparently we have no interest. Which means we have a lot of interest, or we have none. He would be 50 million for sure. He is not that good.

[goat]

that cleared that up

[Hesperus]

I think not trying to strengthen the defence in Jan is a mistake and will probably come back to bite us at the end of the season, but then again availability is scarce and it's down to a failure in the previous transfer windows that our defence is not good enough.
