Ed I take it the chances of us adding a free agent to the squad are very slim?

{Ed007's Note - I've not heard of anything mate, is there anyone still available anyone fancies? Does Robbie Keane have a club just for a heavy giggle?}

Surprised we didn't make a late loan swoop for Alfred Finnbogason.

{Ed007's Note - Gary Hooper would crawl through a sea of broken Bucky bottles to be our 3rd choice striker now.}

Let's get marchisio in while we're on a high. Can't see why not.

He is a prime example of the grass not always being greener!

{Ed007's Note - Poor advice again imo, Andy. The majority of footballers aren't exactly blessed with much what we'd call intelligence, especially these days when they're handed everything on a plate from any age and hence trust these people to look after them, then in a lot of cases the agents/family etc realise they make more money from transfers than renewing contracts and their own personal greed takes over the whole situation.
Since I started doing this about 7 or 8 years ago my eyes have been really opened talking to people like Ed001 and Ed002 and it was murky back then btw but it has progressively got worse over that time but a lot of people refuse to accept it and still think deals are done on a 5 minute meeting and a handshake off the manager. There'll be deals for players agreed at the top level (Barca, Madrid, Man City etc) for the summer in 2020.}

To be honest Ed that’s one of the main reasons I love this site, we get to hear of actual ongoings behind the scenes instead of the nonsense in the media.

You’re spot on there, Hooper never struck me as the sharpest tool in the box. It makes us appreciate players like KT, Brown, Lustig etc who show the club so much loyalty. I wouldn’t say no to him coming back but how many players have we seen that likely regret leaving?

That’s frightening though mate. James Forrest to Real Madrid in 2020 you heard it here first.

{Ed007's Note - That can only mean Rodgers will be taking him with him......

Wouldn’t want Hooper anywhere near CP. He thought Norwich was progress, he doesn’t get it.
