    With Odsonne Edouard, every single Celtic fan I know would have given the keys to their car to drive him away. A lot would have said "get him out of here". He hasn't been working that hard, he probably will at Crystal Palace.

    Samuel Lynes: Poor old Sergio Aguero. Went to Barca to play with Messi and saw them sell Griezmann and now he’s playing with a former Boro and former Newcastle striker. Poor lad is even registered now so can’t escape!

    Steven: Good luck to Odsonne Edouard at Palace, he was, in the main, brilliant for us but appeared to have downed tools a bit. Undoubtedly talented so hope he does well.

    Liverpool's lack of strengthening is simply mind boggling. A few long term injuries last season and they fell to pieces!

    Craig: Clearly Barcelona are trying to trim their wage bill enough so that they don't end up going out of business. it's better to offload to rivals if they're willing to pay the wages. could be a decade till they can balance the books again. better to use what they have.

    Grace O'D: As far as transfer deadline days go for us Hammers, this has been a positive one! Was hoping for a Lingard announcement or a striker but there's still time! Enjoying what we've got so far anyway
