HUGHES CONFIRMED - Just a min ago

[MattyRangers]

Is Traore available for Wednesday?

Doubt it mate, he was on the bech last night for Senegal I think.

[Rsonist]

Oh right. I thought I heard he'd flown back early for some reason.

According to Sky but they also said Jacques Faty was on the bench. According to the official ACON website...NEITHER were in the starting lineup or on the bench.

Just Sky being lazy methinks!

[MattyRangers]

So did I mate Im sure I read that he had.

Flippin ACON is a pain in the jacksy, especially when our lads have only sat on the bench for their countries games n all!

[Jeffro]

Thanks for the info Dazzer but if its all the same, I'll wait for "Insider" to confirm these deals are done. #wasteofspace

Oh really, quality mate thats alot more positive! Fingers crossed Traore is back in the country then as we could certainly do with him in place of Mackie down the left and putting SWP on the right!

[MrSwakeley]

is the loan deadline tomorrow as well, or does it continue?

You can loan players to non-premiership clubs

Right all done. To recap....

Apologies for incorrect spelling but here goes:

- Samba Niketi - almost completed. Nancy has confirmed it their end. It's an initial loan to be made permanent at the end of the season. Just some paperwork to do but sound a certain.

- We made an offer for Hugo Rodallega from Wigan last week but that was knocked back. We might push harder.

- We are monitoring and progressing Djibril Cissé - felt like a watch this space, we need to see if we can get him over the line

- His tone kind of changed when questioned about the Montpellier striker, says he is someone he really rates and likes. Again watch this space

- Asked could we see two Samba's in a hooped shirt and he said lets see if we can get that one over the line. Never ruled it out and sounded positive.

- Taiwo could feature tomorrow. Everything all done just one final piece of paperwork require before 12pm tomorrow in order for him to play against Villa.

- Also asked about TEVEZ and laughed. Basically would love to work with him again but it won't happen

- Doubts about players for Wednesday (AS SOMEONE POINTED OUT - SORRY): Buzz, Heider (abductor muscle problem which we have been managing for some time), Bothroyd and DJ

On players leaving:
- Some know they are available to other clubs
- Some could go before tomorrow
- Some could also be paid off but it all depends on their contract lengths and a lot of finer details. That sounded complicated
- We might try to get some out the door on loan after the window closes as the loan option is still a possible.

If we got that Montpellier striker I think i'm still in a dream, he's brilliant!

I really hope the Taiwo paperwork gets sorted because i just want to see him causing havoc up the left wing in a Hooped Shirt and unleash some rockets...

[Bluehoop]

is the loan deadline tomorrow as well, or does it continue?

It continues for Clubs outside the EPL - so we can loan out but not in

[sw66]

Sound positive although i would like to hear about 1 more striker and a centre midfielder with Premier experience.

Diakite may take a little while to settle and Akos is out for tomorrow.

Cisse does not float my boat, who is the Montpelier striker?

[SeanInOz]

Hi Matty,

So with your line up:

Kenny
Young Ferdinand Onouha Taiwo
Diakite Barton
SWP Adel
Rodellega Cisse

Chris Samba on the bench
