But we need him as this squad is light and desperately needs numbers and quality,With days to go, it seems we're only in for Bruno Fernandes. I hope his arrival - that is, if we get the deal over the line - aids our lack of creativity and helps us break down dogged teams. My fear is we lack goals in the side again, and in the short term I'd take a punt on Edinson Cavani, to become - like Henrik Larsson - a mini-darling of the Stretford End.
Leicester's Jamie Vardy scored 17 goals in his first 18 league games this season but has not found the net in the last seven in the competition. Saturday, Feb.

A Highland welcomeThe French TV journalist, Renaud Marquot, became a very popular character at Motherwell around the turn of the year. Filming some documentary or other, the charismatic tourist struck up a relationship with the club's fans, all captured on camera. He loved them and they loved him.

When Declan Gallagher got a late winner for the visitors, the bold Renaud jumped from his seat in the stand and went a little too close to the pitch for comfort in trying to film the joyous reaction of the Motherwell faithful.
I assumed that would be the case with Theo and he showed glimpses of what he could do. He was electric in training with loads of pace but obviously still very raw. He will have a lot of footage of it because every time I saw him he had a handheld camera, walking around Baden-Baden taking in the sights. He took a lot of photos and he seemed to be enjoying it. We all tried to look after him as best we could and there was a big spotlight on him.
He asked if he could keep himself going with us and we obviously said yes. I don't know how long he is going to train with us and that obviously depends on what happens in the world," Hammarby chairman Richard von Yxkull told SVT last week.

Sergio Agüero (Manchester City) right footed shot from the centre of the box is too high. Marcus Rashford and Raul Jimenez both hit the crossbar as Wolves and Manchester United played out a goalless FA Cup draw at Molineux.

A wasted talent? Troubled genius? Greatest England player of his - and many other - generations? The reason you got into football? All of the above?Few footballers of the past 30 years have captured the imagination quite like Paul Gascoigne. From Mars-bar loving maverick at Newcastle to Roman playboy via World Cup brilliance, Gazza really had it all. And did most of it. Could he have been managed better? Should he have done more with his career? Was he the best player England has produced since, well, you name a date?All valid questions and just some that will be debated during Gazza Day on BBC Sport on Saturday, which coincides with the start of our Euros Rewind programming throughout June, kicking off with a full rerun of England's game against Scotland at Euro 96.

Wilder said he was happy that the 23-year-old Scot's actions at the Championship (second-tier) match had not led to any further punishment.
