will benteke be done so he can play this weekend

The reaction on here if he scored a winner vs. Spurs

Spurs very nearly signed him a couple of seasons ago apparently but messed him about and he said he'd never go to them now.

If he hits the winner it would amuse me.

the deals not done so i don't think he will play anyways

i mean personal terms have yet to be finalised and he needs to have a medical ect.

Yeah I can't see it going through in time. Don't players have to be registered something like 24 hours before the round of fixtures in question?

Also, Brannagan's loan to Wigan has fallen through.

Apparently they wouldnt agree to the 70% of games, i dont suppose you can blame them its quite a big ask

And if he didn't play that many games they'd have to pay us a six figure fee. Can understand why we ask for it but it's a lot of money for a championship club.

I don't know whether I'm missing something but I really rate Branagan and have been banging on about him for years when he came through with Rossiter.

He's like Allen but with bollocs and a shot. Always positive, technically superb, seemingly influential, good delivery and has a goal in him.

I don't know why we're looking to loan him out really.

Because he needs games to improve and he won't get enough of them with us.

We have 4 or 5 players ahead of him. I agree he has a lot going for him, but so do Hendo, Can, Wij, Gru, Lallana etc.

Gujic is our one man midfield.

I think he is better than the championship myself which is a very hard league and would have thought his technical qualities coupled with his slight frame would be better suited to the prem. They obviously want him playing though hence the clause.

But in terms of competition, even thogh Wij looks to be wanted deeper I only make that four cm's in Hendo, Can, Wij and Grujic.

Maybe I'm over egging his ability but as you all know I don't like a loan!

GB would be proud of that list of abbreviated player names.

Gru the midfield guru.

The freeze gun comes in particularly handy

"Mario Balotelli is being tipped to drop out of the Premier League and join Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on the advice of Jose Mourinho."

Can;t imagine away days at Barnsley or Rotherham will be the inspiration he needs.

I would say it'll be the reality to open up his eyes to his situation and how he threw his career away....but it's Balotelli.

And just for the record, I'm not having a go a barnsley or rotherham. I know there are many a sensitive soul in here

I am sure they're both lovely places, but not actually knowing either town, they do have names that suggest perennial dampness and gray cloud cover, gray concrete buildings and gray people.

Hi Manfrom

Odd question but are you still home brewing? It's something I'm planning on starting up myself...

why home brew lads ffs, sounds like hard fackin work

Because it means I have a readily available quantity of beer sat in my home without the need to go to the shop/pub.

Plus if I get any good I could always consider it as a new money making venture.

yeah but, i bet it tastes like puke and how much time and effort does it take

I live opposite a sainburys and about 100 yards from a lovely family pub with a fackin lovely beer garden

funnily enough its called the naggs head

however its in knaphill, surrey not fackin peckham
