they looked **** against us too, but even with their antiquated football they still created a few chances and sadly they have one or two players with the quality to take them (thankfully not against us). If we finish like we did at the start of the season (emphatically) then we'll be fine.

in what way? Lambert is a big lad with a lovely touch that drops deep, Rhodes is a lithe, nippy, plays on the shoulder forward. Other than both scoring lots of goals through good finishing I don't see any similarities whatsoever. On the other hand, Rhodes and Hooper are very much the same type of striker.

the guy wants to leave. He doesn't really want to stick around. The problem here appears to be how much Cortese wants in the form of a transfer fee. The only question here is does Cortese want to make a profit or just get his money back? Which do we think? If all our transfer fees weren't `undisclosed' we'd be in a better position to judge.

it certainly is. Was he dressed as casually as the sandals and saints-shirted supporters that came to the Church? You weren't one of them were you? Respect to you. Other than his attire, how exactly was he `acting less respectful' than others? Select a different rod.

glad someone said it. There are always two sides to every story and no one on here actually knows what went on with the original fall out. On face value it now looks like we want him out, but we want to make a profit too. However, if we are just trying to make our money back then fair enough for holding out.

certainly will. They can decide to accept or not any offer put on front of them and unless its the whole 100% poopey will get short shrift

why haven't they defaulted on the wages rather than the taxes? You don't suppose agents have inserted instant release clauses on non payment of wages intl contracts have they?

strange how it's only ever AA that we hear from these days. Has Lumpitt lost his voice perhaps?

are you volunteering? By the way are mods liable in a court of law or is it just website owners?

I'm not fan of Alladyce or West Ham, but their transfer policy has helped them to top of the league. Premiership money and squad or not, they still had to sign the right players. They have a transfer structure. It's to by the best possible talent available to them. Focus on what we do.

I know his neighbour. He's been injured. When fit he will go out on loan.

tell me how you would have felt if the FL had relegated us by 9 divisions? Yes the skates seem to continually take the ****, but don't ever forget that we also ****ed up our own finances and went into administration.

if Brum don't sell or loan Zigic in this window, financially they are crippled. They are massively reliant on potential investment from Hong Kong appearing and of course selling players like Ridgewell. I keep saying it, but Curtis Davis is the best defender in the Championship and buying him would solidify our back four, if it was needed, and totally ruin brum's chances. Should we get promoted he (along with Zaha) would be the first on my list of buys, so why not do it now? As for us winning the league, I can see it. Connelly's return has brought our `possession at all costs' style back and teams just can't cope with not having the ball. Keep him fit and others and we can do it. I honestly believe that.

they don't pay their taxes, again, but they do sign Kelvin Etuhu and extend Futacs' contract by a further year. Taking the ****ing **** again.

Forest look doomed. Teams do turn it round, but not this weekend. We'll have to do the work ourselves. And we will.

£12m for AOC plus Surman, goaldrought and little thief sales on the one side and none of the recent signings on the other, so this figure doesn't quite paint the whole story.

not quite sure why there is so much excitement today. Cala was never going to buy them, not a chance, so him pulling out or being ignored was inevitable IMO. The fact they turned down a bid for players during the week tells me the other interested parties are much more serious. So nothing has changed from what I can see.

every day of the week. never gone happen though, he's Premiership bound. Actually if we get promoted he would be first on my list. Now that's going to be some HCDAJFU thread...

I've mentioned him numerous times before, but Jordan Mutch is a very good player and exactly the sort of player we should be signing. He's having a great game tonight and no surprise that his return has coincided with some good results. Shame WBA have put in an offer for Ridgwell otherwise the blues board would be desperate by now and a decent offer might be welcomed. Just for good measure I'll mention Jack Butland and Curtis Davies again too.

I wonder why didn't they sort this deal out two weeks ago? Good signing by the way. Feel for the Leeds fans, Bates is slowly and surely killing them.

a couple of months ago Portsmouth council talked of spending £1billion on various city upgrade projects. Maybe every town and city is producing these kind of plans in some sort of desperate attempt to be the chosen city that gets the limited private investment currently available?

TBH, Mokoena and Mullins will all be on Premiership wages. The latter signed by Tony Adams before relegation was on the horizon. Whether TBH reduced his terms in the summer is unknown, but he certainly removed the new contract if he plays X number of games. He might have done that to get games. Maybe he was offered a rise, who knows? Kitson and Lawarence wages were £44k supposedly. That was reported on here, whether true or not I don't know. Norris will be on at least £20k a week for sure. He wouldn't have left Ipswich unless he got a pay rise and he was on about £15k a week there. Halford certainly wouldn't have joined Premiership Wolves (for £2m) for less than £20k a week and he wouldn't have left for less either. Take your pick from Hermann, Halford, Kanu, Varney and Rocha for your last big earner.

strange for Cala to pick a figure out of the air in terms of 8 players and £1.1m a month wages. He either has seen the books or Chinny has provided that information to him.

the India episode was perhaps one of the worst they have done. Not because it took the **** out of India, because it didn't, but because everything was so much more obviously staged than normal and the show came across as false and badly acted rather than natural.

and they won't as they know they can get promotion with him and then sell or keep if he fancies it come the summer. Sell now they won't get a bigger fee so what is the point? Not a chance of him leaving unless manure come in with a massive bid. it won't.
