{Ed007's Note - Nothing's changed mate, we're still negotiating a fee with Villa.}

I heard we are in for hearts rb Paterson any substance Ed.?
Also what's your thoughts i like him as a player but is he not overly offensive.

I think Patterson would be a dec not signing 150 app and 30 goals for hearts from the age of 17! Good stats and a lot of experience for a young player!

Ed

Who is in charge of negotiations and why do they still have that job?

Seriously this is past embarrassing.

{Ed007's Note - It's not embarrassing, Niall, forget all the stupid nonsense on Twitter about 3rd or 4th bids - the clubs are negotiating and that's perfectly normal.}

Yeah Patterson isn't signing a new deal and Hearts are weighing up wether to cash in rather than risk losing him on a free in January (although they would be due compensation) . He would add height and although I really want Janko to come good (alot of people forget he was out injured for pretty much full season) Patterson is a better defender! Would allow us to move Lustig to Cb aswell and hopefully keep Boyata away from starting line-up so if we can geehim on cheap I'd take him.

I would take Patterson.
Wouldn't worry about him being not overly offensive because I like my defenderson to be able to defend first and foremost.

Cheers Ed.

Not a fan of Twitter, I have never used it and never will.

Here's hoping we can something over the line soon so the new players have time to bed in.

{Ed007's Note - The majority of rubbish you hear during the transfer windows originates on Twitter - Sinclair's medical last Monday? I'll be surprised if Sinclair doesn't sign though and I suspect the hold up is to do with any add-ons to the fee we pay.}

Do you want sinclair Ed?

{Ed007's Note - I'm not overly excited and I think we could have got better for the money we'll be paying but the manager wants him and hopefully Sinclair gets his career back on track if he comes. Before last season he had only made 42 apps over the previous 3 seasons and even though he managed 27 apps last season (out of a possible 44) he was honking in a poor Aston Villa team any time I watched them.}

Fair play if BR wants him there is obviously something about him.
I'm not going to judge based on the villa team as they were pish lol.

Still think a ball winning CM and a CB should be prioritised.

I think O'Connell looks a good addition to the cb role. Him Toure Sviatchenko and Sumunovic not bad but one more would be good. We have never replaced Petrov as a goalscoring midfielder. Unless Armstrong picks up his game a central midfielder getting beyond strikers is a must for me also. Especially with the quality Roberts has shown would lay on a barrel load for someone of that ilk.

OB1 you could argue that Commons was an excellent goalscoring midfielder for us. I've read what Ed and others have said about him and although I wouldn't have him in the team now I think he's was a fantastic signing for us and scored plenty of important goals.

He was mate, but was always a forward thinking player or no10 if you like. I would like a box to box player that arrives late on the end of things or gets beyond strikers. No doubt though that Commons was a great player for us if he had pace he would likely have played at a higher level.
