Yes please. Must be on crazy wages tho.

I'm not sure, he's the sort of player who can be managed but is very difficult too.

Mind you, at least in public he seems to have matured a lot. Is a fantastic striker but if he really is a 'bad apple' we could do without.

And as you say, doubt Levy would pay him the wages he wants!
 
Sky sources understand that Sunderland are yet to receive a bid for Steven Fletcher.

That's some earth shattering news there.
 
Modibo Maiga is ready to kickstart his career away from West Ham.

Manager Sam Allardyce is looking for two strikers in January with Lacina Traore's loan already agreed from Monaco but the move pending a work permit.

Hugo Almeida from Besiktas has also been offered to Allardyce on loan but deals for Southampton's Rickie Lambert, Everton's Nikica Jelavic and Inter Milan's Ishak Belfodil have stalled.

Mali international Maiga recognises his opportunities will be limited. The 26-year-old has failed to settle at Upton Park and is available for around £3million.

He arrived from Sochaux still suffering the after effects of a bout of malaria and has been used mainly as a wide player rather than his preferred central role. He scored one goal every two games while with struggling Sochaux and has managed two this season.

However he was one of the senior players who figured in Sunday's humbling at Nottingham Forest.

He said: 'That result was unfair on the kids that played and on me. It was just unfortunate with the injuries that the manager had that we were forced to put out a patched up side.

'I am hungry to prove though that I can play at the very top. I understand I am surplus to requirements here and I want a chance to prove I can play as a central striker and score goals.

'The club will let me leave and I know I can make a success of wherever I go.'

Think he'll do well for Hull, he's one of those players that needs to play regularly and he will.

Bruce has made some astounding deals for Hull. If they can get rid of Graham, seal the livermore deal and add two more decent loan moves, i could see them finish in the top half of the table.
 
Ive not seen him do anything to show hes worth that. Why such a high price? And where the heck did Wolfsburg get that sort of money from. They aren't known as a rich club.

They're owned and sponsored by Volkswagen and play at the Volkswagen Arena. Don't think money is an issue.
 
Another waste of time signing from CFC, pathetic sign everybody approach

There policy is to buy great young talent and sell for three times the amount, its a cattle market to them. Which ultimately helps there bottom line. Basically they are acting like third party owners. Buy them, find them a club to enhance reputation, sell them.

Their policy seems to be working if they're able to attract top youngsters there and then make a profit on their investment.
 
Fabio going to Cardiff on loan. Solskjær will continue to have his pick from United's youth/fringe players.
