I see Quinny has dismissed the Gyan stories.

Yeah didnt read much into them firstly it was the daily mirror and dont see the club emailing clubs to sell gyan. Harry Redknapp at work trying to unsettle him !

Sounds about right.

Looks like Liverpool vs Sunderland first day of the season:)

Shame the trip to QPR is a Tuesday night, 20/12/11.

Our fans should boycott it at the reported prices.

I have a serious amount of respect for you and the thousands of others that will go away to support the lads no matter what, even when clubs are charging shocking prices. I wish I could do it but circumstances don't allow it these days.

I guess days like Chelsea last season make it all worthwhile

Thanks I went to ten away games last season but to be brutality honest I wonder how many I would have made if I hadn't taken my son. Ironically the tips to Hibs and Hartlepool appeal more at this point as theres nothing riding on them !

What's going on with Westwood? There's talk he's on our radar(Leeds) but I'm led to believe it's a done deal with yourselves.

Aye, it's a done deal mate. Just waiting on him to get back off holiday to announce it.

Gordon's apparently off in the summer or January at the latest and Westwood will more than likely start the season in goal for us.

was gordon ever capped under mcleish?

Yep, numerous times. He was Scotland's number 1 for the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign under McLeish.

wouldnt rule that switch out as a possibility then so

Perhaps but I've heard Arsenal are interested and likely to make a bid and I think you'll go for Foster in all honesty. Relations between the two clubs are also sour after the Darren Bent saga so I think we'll try and avoid dealing with you where possible.

Gordon would have gone to you in 2007 but we bid £9m for him and he wanted to be closer to home as it was his first move away from Scotland.

He really is a cracking goalkeeper but he's been in and out injured too much and he's on a big wage with 1 year left on his contract and wants an even bigger wage to sign on again.

I'd love for him to stay, but with the impending arrival of Westwood and the reported interest in Gordon along with his contract situation, then I think it's inevitable that he won't be staying.

KW should be signed for SAFC by the end of this week.

dont think wenger will go for him, in fact id be amazed if wenger goes for anyone younger than 31 or 32 for their new keeper

Love to see Given at Arsenal but not a chance Man City would sell him to them

Aston Villa are set to put a last minute bid in for Seb Larsson hope we still get him.

larsson wouldnt be bad backup for villa. did blues offer him a new contract and he turned it down or what happened there?

Birmingham offered him a contract but he did not accept it, he was waiting to see whether they stayed up. I think he will end up at Sunderland.

£10 mill bid gone in for Conor Whickham ?
