Scotts Mist

Paul Lambert is a proud Scot so we should be surprised if he starts to bring a load of Scotts in?

While the pedants moan about FIFA regs, Scott Sinclair is said to be on the slate for a loan deal, though this would only really work for Man City if Mister Sinclair is guaranteed game time, a promise our fearless leader may not be able to make

That pesky regulation reads ‘Players may be registered for a maximum of three clubs during the period from 1 July until 30 June of the following year. During this period, the player is only eligible to play in Official Matches for two clubs.’ and may also scupper any deal, while Everton are also sniffing around if anything can happen...

As for John Guidetti, not much point him coming on loan either, if it's just to keep the bench warm and get in the way of developing our own strikers like Bowery.

The other Scott in the rumour machine is one Scott Parker. Parker turned out recently for Spurs U21s at Villa Park and was a major factor in the young cockrells playing us off the park that night. I'd find it odd if he couldn't just stroll into our side at the moment and this is the sort of level head we need at the minute. He's still a very talented player to boot, so we're hoping this one is more than ITK bollocks.

Dale Stephens has been on the radar since the last window, so no surprise that the rumours persist and this one could well come off.

Anyone hearing Jordan Henderson's post-match interview after Liverpool's game yesterday will have instantly chucked any rumours about him in the bin. He seems very content where he is.

Meanwhile, thoughts that Darren Bent could be Demba Ba's replacement at Newcastle could be scuppered by a) Bent's fitness, b) the Mackem thing and c) Villa's valuation.
