I just checked Nando's in Stoke - there isn't one - nearest one is in Manchester and its 38.3 miles away. Pilks is staying Apparently he is to give up half of his signing on fee, so they can build a Nandos specially for him.

Sky Sports sources suggest 2 signings by Town before 11pm, both on loan. Another permanent deal is possible, though a 'fee' will be involved and it's unsure whether we are prepared to pay the asking price when we can pick him up in the summer for nothing. This particular player is keen to join the club apparently. I can't elaborate more than that as the guy passing this information on also wasn't allowed to give out names. Sorry

Anyone else as sad as me, where if there's no new posts for a whole minute I have to dash to the forum page to make sure I'm not missing out on a 'new signing' thread? *sigh*

Would like it to be ALF, very interesting though. Hard to see what's actually happening through the crap that's going round.

Haha Blue&White, I've done that a couple of times today i'll embarrassingly admit.
Sorry Tez and Sale but I genuinely don't have a clue who the potential signings might be. The guy at SkySports wasn't allowed to give out player names or even their current clubs. Apparently it's quite a strict regime lately as word quickly gets around and deals can often get scuppered if other teams know said players are available for transfer. More from a players perspective as if their agent knows that other clubs are interested, they suddenly decide that the agreed deal isn't quite right for their client and a better one might be available elsewhere.
If I do hear anything more specific I will certainly let folk know, for sure, I just can't promise anything

I may be completely wrong but does Kevin Phillip's deal with Brum run out this Summer? I'm only clutching at straws but this could potentially be the player in question where the 'fee involved may prove to be the stumbling block as we may not be prepared to pay it if we can get him for free in the summer'. If he were to join it would surely be on a year's playing contract, combined with a coaching role. As I said, I may be completely wrong.

Brum have also just confirmed the 6-month loan of Obafemi Martins which surely puts KP even further down the pecking order.
I listened very carefully to his comments after the Coventry game where he sounded rather annoyed at his lack of opportunities this past two and a half month's. Maybe the guy genuinely just wantes to play as much as he can, whilst he can. Teaming up with an old mate and lining up his future career at the same club would surely be quite an attractive proposition.

Brum have just completed signing Obafemi Martins so he may be surplus to requirements

I think a Carling Cup Final spot has swayed KP's resolve to leave Brum.

35 mill for andy carroll :iconlol:
i rate him but that is just ridiculous. you could get the finished article for that price - bent was less and he has been consistently scoring for years.

I agree $35 million is a lot for Carroll. He has a lot of potential but has not really proven anything yet. Villa definitely got a better deal. I would also suggest that Chelsea are overpaying for Torres if they really pay $50 million. I think prices in January are way over inflated as clubs see it as their last chance to get something out of the season.

In The Sun though, Phillips's comments read like he still wants to stay and fight for his place, especially if he feels there could be an FA cup final appearance up for grabs, though he does claim he has other offers on the table. Also, McLeish states he is "loathe to lose him"

I think Newcastle are just trying to get the entire Torres fee and who can blame them?
