Football Talk: Spurs want James Forrest, Rino Gattuso does Gangnam Style

Never go back. Enjoy what you had. That's the advice we're normally hit with.

Football though has a fiercely independent mind of its own. Kevin Thomson back to Hibs? Sure. Spurs back in for James Forrest? Why not? Fraser Forster back to England where no-one wanted him? Deal.

Still, at least Gordon Strachan is looking to the future with the call-up of Liam Bridcutt.

The Brighton midfielder was subject to the Gary Mackenzie treatment on Twitter on Thursday (Who?!) but Gus Poyet once said he'd be good enough for Real Madrid. Sorted.

We've got all your headlines plus Rino Gattuso dancing, a supreme back heeled goal and a waterlogged pitch to defy all the stories you've got of playing on horrendous pitches.

Here's your headlines today.
