Its a 13.5mill bid apparently, but there is a release clause in Allen's contract of 15mill which they are holding out for. Can only be a matter of time I would think before they agree a deal.

Makes you wonder where the likes of Henderson will fit in though. I guess you have to take what you can get but I'm concerned at the lack of gossip, let alone strong links with a right sided midfielder/winger when with Maxi and Kuyt's departure we really are left short there.

I guess if we're going 4-3-3 it's slightly different issue perhaps?

Well we have Suarez, Borini, Carroll, Downing and Bellamy for those 3 front positions, where as we have Spearing, Lucas, Henderson, Adam, Aqua, Gerrard, Shelvey and maybe Allen for the 3 central ones. Who knows where Cole might play. So a wide forward is definitely more of an issue. Am expecting Dempsey to join still though

Swansea have rejected £10m + Shelvey on loan for the year for Allen. Too much money in the Premiership now isn't there? We need to get back to the days where a club like Swansea'd be happy to sell this lad for £10m 'cos it'd keep their club running for another season.

Don't mind overpaying on this one seeing as we have a plan of how we are going to use him and how he'll slot straight in to exactly what Rodger's wants. He's a better fit than Adam and played better last season than Henderson and Aquilani (from what I understand).

From the videos I've been watching of him he seems very intelligent in possession and very hard working without. In the top 5 tacklers in the Premiership last season with a high 75% win rate and also a pass completion of 92% (and he's not just playing short passes all the time, watching him he switches the play into space extremely well). He seems a really good dribbler as well, drives forward really purposefully, is strong for his size, shields the ball great and has some good turns in his locker.

Yeah, it's always best when clubs are on the verge of financial collapse. :D
