:00:54. > :00:57.More about that in just a moment, but first, here's what's coming up
:00:58. > :01:02.Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a football chairman
:01:03. > :01:05.The panic, the last-minute speculation, the big-name signings?
:01:06. > :01:11.Well, wonder no more, as I get a sneak peek behind
:01:12. > :01:14.the scenes, with enigmatic chairman Dale Vince.
:01:15. > :01:24.We meet Newcastle United's Dutch field sensation Georginio Wijnaldum
:01:25. > :01:27.to find out how he's enjoying life in the Premier League.
:01:28. > :01:30.And I will be asking you to get involved with Kickabout
:01:31. > :01:32.by taking me on with this week's score predictions.
:01:33. > :01:33.Loads to look forward to on today's show.
:01:34. > :01:37.But time now to look back at some of the stories that have been
:01:38. > :01:45.A certain Pep stole all the headlines on transfer
:01:46. > :01:48.deadline day, when it was announced that he will replace Manuel
:01:49. > :01:51.Pellegrini at the end of this season.

:02:00. > :02:12.Hollywood a list and Naomi Watts has agreed to become the honorary

:02:15. > :02:23.Naomi is taking on the role for Glantraeth FC, swapping millions
:02:24. > :02:34.of fans for crowds of around 40 people.
:02:35. > :02:36.Finally, in Tuesday's League Two encounter, Morecambe managed
:02:37. > :02:39.to bag a 94th minute equaliser to deny Portsmouth all three points.
:02:40. > :02:41.Nothing remarkable about that, you might think.
:02:42. > :02:46.Barry Roche is there Barry Roche has scored!
:02:47. > :02:48.Yes, goalkeeper Barry Roche headed home Sean
:02:49. > :02:50.Miller's corner to learn a dramatic late point for the Shrimps.
:02:51. > :02:54.And sticking with midweek action, we had a full round of fixtures
:02:55. > :03:03.With eight matches on Tuesday and two more on Wednesday.
:03:04. > :03:07.You can check out all of it behind me, but take a closer look
:03:08. > :03:09.at the results at the top of the table.
:03:10. > :03:12.The Foxes retain their three points lead, thanks to two late goals
:03:13. > :03:18.And what a strike it was for the. first.
:03:19. > :03:24.The England forward opened the scoring with a brilliant 25 yard
:03:25. > :03:27.Elsewhere, Manchester City claimed a 1-0 victory over
:03:28. > :03:29.Sunderland to keep the pressure on Leicester.
:03:30. > :03:31.And, down at the bottom, Villa sank to another defeat
:03:32. > :03:33.against West Ham and Newcastle remain in the relegation zone.
:03:34. > :03:35.After coming unstuck against the Toffees.
:03:36. > :03:38.And we can't forget transfer deadline day.
:03:39. > :03:41.We'll be rounding up some of the biggest deals done in January
:03:42. > :03:49.Whilst deadline day itself didn't quite live up to expectations,
:03:50. > :03:53.come on, admit it, Pep signing for City was by far the biggest news
:03:54. > :03:57.There was still plenty of drama for teams up and down the country
:03:58. > :03:59.trying to tie up those last-minute deals.
:04:00. > :04:01.And one person who knows all about the pressure of transfer
:04:02. > :04:03.deadline day is the chairman of the football
:04:04. > :04:06.club, as I found out when we got exclusive behind-the-scenes access
:04:07. > :04:10.Perhaps the most anticipated day in the football league calendar.
:04:11. > :04:12.For many of the world's biggest clubs,
:04:13. > :04:14.it's the chance to dust off the fax machine,
:04:15. > :04:16.crack open the cheque-book and ready the chopper
:04:17. > :04:20.But what you do if you don't have the transfer
:04:21. > :04:24.Well, I've headed to National League leaders Forest Green Rovers to
:04:25. > :04:26.Dale Vince, chairman of Forest Green Rovers,
:04:27. > :04:35.He has a list of people that he's interested in.
:04:36. > :04:37.I don't rate my opinion in football above
:04:38. > :04:47.If he says, "I like this player", he describes him to me,
:04:48. > :04:50.I think that sounds good, let's see if we can get him.
:04:51. > :04:52.If we're being asked silly money, that will
:04:53. > :04:55.If we can do a reasonable deal, then we will keep
:04:56. > :05:00.When you have agreed with the club, you have to agree to terms
:05:01. > :05:03.When I got involved in Forest Green about five years ago,
:05:04. > :05:08.It was quite difficult to be top of the league and to be
:05:09. > :05:11.heading for promotion at some point, that's a big deal for a player.
:05:12. > :05:13.That's just not in the deal, you know?
:05:14. > :05:16.Last night, I was on the e-mail to the chairman of another club
:05:17. > :05:19.about a player we are hoping to do a deal for today.
:05:20. > :05:21.We've been on the e-mail on and off today,
:05:22. > :05:27.It sounds like I'm leaving you on a bit of a cliffhanger here,
:05:28. > :05:30.Dale. Can't wait to see if you're actually
:05:31. > :05:33.going to sign a player. So I will leave you
:05:34. > :05:35.to do the business I've grown up loving football,
:05:36. > :05:44.so transfer deadline day has always I know the chairman
:05:45. > :05:47.is hopeful for signing Potentially, it could go
:05:48. > :05:51.all the way to the wire. I've prepped to have
:05:52. > :05:53.a long one tonight. Hopefully, we can
:05:54. > :05:54.get something done. You only have to look back
:05:55. > :05:57.to the last transfer window, when David de
:05:58. > :05:59.Gea didn't get his transfer pushed through,
:06:00. > :06:00.because things went Fax machines.
:06:01. > :06:02.Is this it? Is this what players actually sign?
:06:03. > :06:05.This is it. It's not too tough with
:06:06. > :06:07.what you're putting in. It can come back from the FA due
:06:08. > :06:15.to just sometimes not This is the moment I've
:06:16. > :06:24.always dreamed of - signing my first professional
:06:25. > :06:25.contract. Your basic wage.
:06:26. > :06:28.Basic wage. Bring it on.
:06:29. > :06:31.OK, so we will go with... How many zeros?
:06:32. > :06:33.So we will go with 10p there. 10p?
:06:34. > :06:34.Yeah, 10p a week. Right, it's 5:30pm
:06:35. > :06:45.on transfer deadline day. We're going to chairman Dale Vince's
:06:46. > :06:48.office to see if he's got his man. The player has gone for a medical.
:06:49. > :06:54.Right. So we've spoken to the
:06:55. > :06:57.player and he's keen. They're just trying
:06:58. > :07:01.to agree personal terms. I've got a feeling it's
:07:02. > :07:04.going to go down to the wire. I think it will go.
:07:05. > :07:08.I think it will happen. It's all part of that
:07:09. > :07:13.last-minute drama. And, later that evening,
:07:14. > :07:19.they did get their man. Former Arsenal youngster
:07:20. > :07:21.Anthony Geoffrey signed for Forest Green Rovers just 20
:07:22. > :07:23.minutes before the deadline Although, I know, I know,
:07:24. > :07:28.they got the big signings out When I put pen to paper
:07:29. > :07:32.for Forest Green Rovers! Some tough negotiations,
:07:33. > :07:38.but I got my 10p. Another club busy in the transfer
:07:39. > :07:40.window this time round England's Jonjo Shelvey
:07:41. > :07:47.and Andros Townsend, Henri Saivet from Bordeaux,
:07:48. > :07:53.and Roma striker Seydou Doumbia, on loan
:07:54. > :07:55.until the end of the season. The St James's faithful will be
:07:56. > :08:00.hoping the new boys make an impact, as it's not been the best
:08:01. > :08:03.season for the Magpies. One player that has been a shining
:08:04. > :08:13.light throughout is He has got an impressive nine goals
:08:14. > :08:19.already. We found out how he is enjoying life.
:08:20. > :08:34.Great cross comes in. What a goal! Chipped the ball. Georginio
:08:35. > :08:40.Wijnaldum! He will claim his fourth for Newcastle. Is it true that when
:08:41. > :08:50.you are younger, your ambition was to become a gymnast? I wanted to
:08:51. > :08:53.become one, but I liked the athletics. I always knew that I
:08:54. > :09:04.wanted to be a professional football player. And that's 3-0. Georginio
:09:05. > :09:08.Wijnaldum. When you are younger, watch Premier League team did you
:09:09. > :09:17.support? I supported Manchester United. I like Arsenal as well
:09:18. > :09:25.because a cousin of mine, he was a really big fan. They played good
:09:26. > :09:28.football. When you are 16, you became the youngest player to play
:09:29. > :09:34.for a club. But the impressive start. You know, I am waiting so
:09:35. > :09:38.long for this moment. So I am going to show them what I can do. That's
:09:39. > :09:44.why I enjoyed it and playing the game. It was one of the biggest
:09:45. > :09:51.moment in my career. Great play. What a hit. Any manager would be
:09:52. > :09:55.delighted with that. I see they like to me. And appreciate what I do.
:09:56. > :10:00.They give me more confidence, but also a good feeling that I want to
:10:01. > :10:06.play for this club. I like to play for fans. I look forward to scoring
:10:07. > :10:13.an away goal now. I think I need a battle so. Have you been winding up
:10:14. > :10:20.the strikers? That you have more goals than them? I would never wind
:10:21. > :10:22.him up. Because he is a good player. I get a lot of my goals because of
:10:23. > :10:42.him. -- I think I need an away goal. What a great addition to the Premier
:10:43. > :10:46.League. Looking ahead to this we can's fixtures. Stoke will be hoping
:10:47. > :10:50.to bounce back from midweek disappointment when they take on
:10:51. > :10:54.Everton. Sunday is also a huge day, not only is it my birthday, but
:10:55. > :10:59.Chelsea host Manchester United. They finally managed goals in the first
:11:00. > :11:05.half on Tuesday. They read 11 games without scoring any at Old Trafford.
:11:06. > :11:11.And a huge game at the top. Leicester goes to Manchester City.
:11:12. > :11:20.This is about the men up top. Here we've got two of the games most
:11:21. > :11:27.lethal finish. Jamie Vardy is the top, with 18 goals. The only thing
:11:28. > :11:31.that really separates those two is the chances they created. Body is
:11:32. > :11:36.not just content and scoring goals. He is making them as well. This is
:11:37. > :11:45.too close for me, so I'm going to go for a score draw. -- Badi. I want to
:11:46. > :11:56.know what you think. I've been asking for your predictions. These
:11:57. > :12:01.are some of them. Distilled from Manchester agree? My kick about
:12:02. > :12:11.projection is man city three and Leicester one. It seems he does.
:12:12. > :12:15.Another prediction going Manchester City's way. Nice skills at the end.
:12:16. > :12:25.Dan at the bottom of the table, Newcastle take on West Bromwich. I
:12:26. > :12:32.predict 83- -- I predict a 3-0 victory. This is what you think.
:12:33. > :12:37.Thanks for those predictions. Every week we are going to be asking you
:12:38. > :12:43.to predict the scores. To get involved, head to the page on the
:12:44. > :12:48.CBBC website. Not that it's a big deal, but can I just add that I was
:12:49. > :12:54.finally correct with my results last week. I predicted that Arsenal would
:12:55. > :12:59.beat Burnley and Everton would win at Carlisle.
:13:00. > :13:15.What you mean I got this call wrong? In the Arsenal and Burnley game.
:13:16. > :13:21.Maybe I said the MK Dons would get a replay against Chelsea. OK, so maybe
:13:22. > :13:25.my prediction still need a bit of work. Seve you can do better by
:13:26. > :13:31.getting involved. To find out the next lot of games they want used to
