Heard yesterday from a group of lads who had travelled down on the train with someone very close to Deano, we had turned down £10m on deadline day from Villa from Wells. Not sure if that's his trading value today and Villa have since spent the dosh on the chap from Brisssle but quite a chunk albeit too late in the window for us to react and spend it.

I can only hope DW is playing down the need for a striker publicly to keep the agents off his back and keep the $ sensible, anything over £4m I'd let Wells go, got to be quietly confident we have a player identified if not waiting in the wings.

Lots of very complimentary commennts today on our televised performance last night.
