Hi ed have you heard anything about us being linked with odemwingie? reckon he would be a great signing for us though I'm not sure what his wages are
Tommybhoy03 {Ed007's Note - He is on £38,000 a week so that should put that to bed hopefully Tommy.}

Is Junior Malanda a free agent? {Ed007's Note - No, he is contracted until 2015. Everton and Fulham have a sustained interest in Zulte Waregem's Malanda and Wolfsburg have been in contact with his club - but there is a complication as he is looking to force a move out of the country using Belgium's employment laws. This gives potential for claims to be made, a tribunal and a court case before anything could happen - and that may take months. This ugly and unpopular route of action has been going on since July 1 and legal advice to the player has been to return to his club and request a transfer, hoping that the club lower their valuation.}

Ed007: Any whispers about who we might be trying to bring in before next Tuesday? If anyone is coming then surely there must at least be advanced discussions going on at the moment.

Ed, tut tut. surely you're not suggesting that we might be dragging our heels in the transfer market? lol
Why does the film Groundhog Day spring to mind? :-)

We have been conditioned to expect nothing. So a decent signing puts everyone into the stratosphere and a promsing emerging talent is met with delerium. They know what they are doing. Its called control. Sopotcelt.

Spot on Sopotcelt. Well summarised.

Hi bud, We are seeded for every round as far as I know. Dunno who we might get next, but it's the third one that will be tricky. HH

MK Bhoy, we're seeded through the "champions" route.
Should we get to the last qualifier, we miss the likes of Arsenal etc.
If results go to plan a team like Tel Aviv awaits.

This is who we could get if these favourites beat the weaker opposition they will face. So basically any team replacing these will be a lower ranked, lesser opponent.
Dinamo Tblisi (Georgia)
Elfsborg
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Sheriff Tiraspol (Moldova)
NK Maribo (Hunskelpers)
FK Ekranas (Lithuania)
Inter Baku (Azerbaijan)
Slovan Bratislava (Slovakia)
And Molde FK (Who I think we'll get should we make the 3rd and final qualifying round)
We have a great chance again this year of qualifying as we are better than any of these potential opponents. The 2 swedish teams and Maccabi Tel Aviv are the strongest of these sides, Molde being the strongest on paper although they have had a terrible start to the season. They have since however turned it around and are steadily climbing up the Norwegian league after being bottom after 10 games.

Ed read we are interested in ibrahim of man city have u heard anything? I'd didn't specify loan or buy but saying that it's probably not true lol
SOS BHOY {Ed007's Note - Any move for him would be in January or next summer. Everton, Swansea, Fulham, West Brom and Sunderland are interested and could activate the clause in his loan-contract with Stromsgodset.}

So it's a non starter? Only way that sounds plausible is to compensate the norwegian team which we won't do?

Great, another striker with a poor goals per game ratio.

Hey Ed. What do you think of Abdisalam Ibrahim of Man City? He's on loan in Norway but has a clause in his contract that could activate a move. Are we actively interested in him? Thanks.
Ontario Bhoy {Ed007's Note - He has only recently signed a loan extension at Stromsgodset taking him up to December. The clause only allows him to move to a EPL team.}
