Thanks Penton Man.

Hmmm. We beat Stoke in the Cup then but I'd trade that in an instant for three points at home against the Cherries on Tuesday night.

I dunno what it is about Selhurst but it went from being our fortress in the promotion season to being a millstone around our neck these last couple of seasons.

It's a good job we've got such a good away record because we'd be in serious trouble otherwise.

[Geoff D]

Bah. We've got sodding Tottenham in the next round. Sick of them lot beating us, the only way I'd feel more PO'd is if we'd got bloody Arsenal or Man City.

We got Hull at home happy with the draw.

So it's deadline day and the only rumours going around for us right now is that we're looking to sign Loic Remy????

[Geoff D]

Confirmed that Pellegrini will be leaving City at the end of the season to be replaced by Pep. I never thought I'd see the day when that Continental-style madness of changing successful managers for even MORE successful ones infected the Premier League, but here it is.

Hell, City could yet do the quadruple this season and Manuel will still be shown the door. Unbelievable. The rumours have already started that he'll go to Chelsea though...

[Pizzamorg]

Rumour has it that Leicester might give up on Remy at the last moment due to the combination of wage demands and upfront costs and go for Palace striker Gayle instead.

Pellegrini did a good job at city but its the European cup they want and they will dominate in the future under Guardiola.
I am not surprised about the news today but i expect big changes again for city in the summer in the transfer market.

Tob, most (I think) of us work. We won't really know what is happening until we get home and can relax and spend time watching transfer deadline day. That's just the nature of the thread and forums in general. You can't take offence all the time When people don't get back to you within a certain timeframe.
This thread has been as active as ever over the last month or so mate.

Anyway, I think you are a cracking lad so hope you are not offended but this reaction is (in my opinion) odd mate? Are you ok? Any problems you are having, you are welcome to pm me anytime.

[David LFC]

All the best Tob.

Good business, get him off the wage bill and sign a striker before the deadline...............oh wait, we haven't brought in a replacement. Well done Ellis Short! Championship here we come.

[Pizzamorg]

Looks like all of Leicester's attempts at signing a new striker fell through as well. We do need someone who is consistently proficient in front of goal, but we have plenty of attacking options between now and the summer.

Yeah, I noticed they were linked to a a couple. Oh well, Sky have had a mare with one of the worst deadlines I can remember.

[David LFC]

Have to give it to Stoke made some very good signings in the last couple of windows, Imbula is a good signing.

[Penton-Man]

Cripes, I come here to check in to see if we (the Arsenal) picked up anyone in the winter transfer and I’m hit with sad Tob news.

Tob, I hope things work out so you can return.

As to the Arsenal, I guess we got nobody? I watched the Arsenal v. Burnley FA Cup match and felt it wasn’t really a comfortable win for the Gunners. Sure, quality won out in the end, but it seems to me that since the glory days of Arsenal, we have this inherent vulnerability in many matches which may only be cured by picking up a couple high quality/high energy players in the transfer market.
