I can't get excited at all about Diego Forlan, he's the wrong side of 35 for a start and I just wonder what his motivation's going to be. I'd rather have had Danny Ings, but that's not going to happen now with Liverpool signing him, and Gestede looks ok too, but I'm reasonably optimistic that Big Vic is going to start scoring goals again now. With Callum McManaman on board, I think our midfield options have improved considerably. If we still want another wide player, then Aaron Lennon surely must be being looked at. As for all the paper talk about Sako, I hope it's just that. I don't rate him for the PL.

Forlan!!!. More like Forlorn Hope!!. He couldn't hit a barn door when he was younger & at Manure, so he isn't going to cut the Mustard in the PL at 35 plus. Sorry, but not for me. If JP is willing to spend dosh, Danny Ings for me all day long.

The time to get Forlan was when he left Atletico Madrid at 32, we would have got a good 3 seasons out of him and he was still a world class player. Not now, I would leave him well alone.

Premier league rules say you can't buy a player and then loan him straight away to another premier league club....
Great news if Liverpool go for Ings would love Lambert at the Baggies ! Ricky not the fool managing the Villa lol !

...but if Ings is going to be loaned back to Burnley for the rest of the year - which is part of any deal, or so I've read - then that rules out Lambert, surely? With that prat Balotelli not even firing on ONE cylinder they're not going to let out another striker without getting at least 1 more in
Not going to happen........
Burnley not sure where the story came from,
Also premiership Rules say if a player is bought from a premier league team, it cannot be loaned back or to any other premiership team during that season
Oh come on surely not

According to the Mirror ....................
Trying to sign FC Basel's Chilean international midfielder Marcelo Diaz according the Mirror. Bundesliga side Hamburg have agreed a fee of around £4 million but he apparently favours a move to England.

I know very little about him but a bit of quick research suggests he's a small central midfielder, not too dissimilar on stature to Blanco, but with a bit more physicality and bite in his game. Looks a decent passer too.

Marcelo Diaz would be a great addition.
Every time I've seen him for Chile and Basle he's bossed the midfield and that includes games against
Chelsea and Spurs. Thought he was Chile's best player along with Sanchez when they dominated
England at Wembley.
Also remember that he was the player who covered the most miles in the Champions League, so puts
a shift in as well as being really classy on the ball.
