Just been told no problem and on track.

Fingers crossed, eh?"

We'll see. Palace have injury problems. Suspect it depends if they bring in replacements.

Had a touch of the gripes today. I'm blaming this transfer window. Don't know where we are with it. Too many irons poking the fire right now.

Chungy did nowt for us last time he was here so I can't see him doing anything special. Crap player in my view.

Seems like Burnley's attempts to get Holding have failed (though they went in with a loan bid second time 'round anyway) so no sell-on windfall from that, even if it's a moot point to our own dealings in this window now.

Well according to the beebs up to the minute ticker Chungy hasn't arrived but then Madine hasn't got yet either.

I noticed Kevin Van Veen who refused to leave Scunthorpe for China for £4.4m this time last year, has been sold to Northampton for an undisclosed fee. I'm betting it's a bit less than 4.4m!!

The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

Burnley want him. Try before you buy

Arsenal just want them to buy before they try

I love Google autotranslate.

" For a long time, Michiel Kramer seemed to be pursuing his 'ordinary' career in the Netherlands, but at the end of this transfer period, England seems the most likely destination for the Feyenoord striker. Bolton Wanderers, the current number twenty of the English Championship, according to Voetbal International 'serious interest' in the long striker.

Kramer has been on the wrong track with his current employer Feyenoord for a long time, but was finally out of favor due to the now famous 'sandwich croquette incident'. Both parties subsequently sent on an interim departure. On the Dutch fields, Sparta, NAC Breda and his old club ADO The Hague seemed to be able to offer a solution.

However, the Kasteelheren of Dick Advocaat went for Fred Friday, while Mitchell Te Vrede has to solve the offensive problems at NAC. Since Bolton also faces big offensive problems this season, the team scored only 26 times in 28 matches, the now 29-year old Kramer could still find new accommodation."

Fred Friday!!

In other news, Bournemouth agree to lend Villa Lewis Grabban, another Cardiff target. Makes Madine even closer.

Only in your Pipe dreams.
(by the way, I'm waiting for Oboe to come along and post that Veloso has been caught up in a Sax scandal in the European parliament: Cor anglais-gate)

Edit: Chungy's not coming, and Madine's fxcked Hoff, two more items in the Sax scandal.

A sordid sax triangle?

In other news, Alan Nixon tweets:
Bolton. Looking elsewhere for a striker in an awful hurry. What a mess. Madine on his way. Feyenoord Floodlight not for budging.

Think this might win the award for the worst transfer window ever. Has that potential with less than 5 hours to go.
