Pulis is as ass. He can be an effective manager but he's a class A douche. That doghouse of his is his only move. It's seriously the only tactic he'll ever employ to "motivate" a player who displeases him.
Hull have accepted a bid of about 10 million from Burnley for Robert Snodgrass. He hasn't had a medical or agreed on personal terms yet.

Hull also sold Jake Livermore to West Brom for about the same price.

Yup. What little consistent fight they've shown has come from Snodgrass, Livermoore and Davies. 2 out of those three sold with nothing coming in to replace them means ... white flag boys. Go ahead and collect the balloon payment.
That is insult added to injury for the Hull supporters.
It looks like Boro pipped Burnley for Snodgrass.

Snodgrass didn't make a deal with either Boro or Burnley, but he's in London having a medical for West Ham, according to The Guardian. That could also mean an end to the Dimiti Payet saga. He's supposedly agreed personal terms with Marseille, taking a pay cut, but West Ham rejected their latest offer.

Patrick van Aanholt is also in London, having a medical at Crystal Palace ahead of move from Sunderland that could be worth as much as £14 million.

Correct, since their corrupt owners won't bother to spend it on the club ... again.
Sky reporting that West Ham and Marseille have agreed on a £25 million fee for Dimitri Payet and he's on his way to Feance for a medical. If that fee is correct, it's a tidy profit for West Ham, having paid £10.5 million for him 18 months ago.

Watford have accepted a 20 million pound bid from Chinese club Changchun Yatai for striker Odion Ighalo. He only has 2 goals this year after scoring 17 last year. Sky reports he's agreed on personal terms too.

I've seen reports that West Ham forced Payet to repay his entire January wages, 500k pounds, before they'd agree to the transfer.
If you believe the English papers, pretty much EVERY player under 30 years old in Celtic's starting 11 will be moving to various EPL or Championship clubs before the window closes. I guess that's what happens when you break a 50 year old club record unbeaten streak. The Bhoys will lose most of those younger guys eventually, but ... probably not all in 2 days' time.
Why would you start a comment on football transfers - of all things - with that condition?
Just sayin'.
Will the last one out of the KCOM turn out the lights?
James Weir and Alex Bruce have left Hull on loan to Wigan. It's not like Wigan is battling for promotion; they're in the same situation in the Championship as Hull is in the Prem...in the drop zone, 2 points from safety.

A couple of last minute deals:
Branislav Ivanovic leaves Chelsea for Zenit St. Petersburg.
Crystal Palace signed Mamadou Sakho on loan from Liverpool.
Also, Hull brought in a total of 8 players but 6 were on loan. They sent out 8 but only 2 were permanent moves, Livermore and Snodgrass.

For their bench, I suspect. Westwood has been ... let's go with crap ... for whole season.
Villa, for the record, went full insane owner mode over the last few weeks. They shed four or five, brought in a total of EIGHT and pulled off a rare player swap dumping Ayew on Swansea (joining his brother) in return for Neil Taylor.
And then went out and promptly got beat 3-0 by Brentford. Yeah. Good times I tell ya. Good times.
