There are. That's why 62% were happy to go into the season with Wilson in goal and Collins as back up. And why most people don't seem to think a striker who can score goals isn't a priority with Wright still injured and well behind on fitness.

Both Manchester City and Doyle know he hasn't much chance of getting into their side. But it isn't because he won't become a very good player. They're one if the best teams in the world. Manchester City need as much income as they can get so they can continue paying astronomical amounts of...

A lot if places close between Christmas and New Year. A lot of people work shifts. If you're the typical worker the stadium would be half empty.

Last season Sunderland were 4th. They may have got promotion through the playoffs but are you seriously saying they were lots better than us? As you know my prediction for this season is 2nd to 4th. Have we improved much? What position do you see us finishing in as you keep mentioning a mid...

If 5th twice and the closest offside call which was done in seconds when a bigger gap normally takes longer from an FA cup final in 3 seasons is said to be a mid table side I would put us as closer to a top 5 side

Or on the other hand a top 5 club.....

He was 18 when he joined us. Do you think he has improved since then?

We finished 5th with him. How could that be mid table? Sunderland finished 5th with him. Leicester finished 1st with him playing over a 1/3 of their games. Not bad for a 21 year old whichever way you try to put it.

6pm on December 29th is the worst we could get? As you say it's fantastic for you. Although totally crap for many there's also many that will be happy with it. You're talking as though it's an ordinary week where it would impact the majority.

And with him we would have a really strong chance.

1 player doesn't make a team unless you have a Gyokeres or Hamer. 1 goal and 7 assists for a defender in a mid table side isn't shabby. Otherwise his loans have been to playoff sides or better and he is still only 21.

How many 3pm Saturday games are there? This 6pm game is a one off because of the time of year. The problem we have is we're now seen as one of the top Championship sides. They are taking a guess at who will be in contention for promotion. If we're at or near the top it will get worse for...

If we do sell MVE we would be one of only a few clubs that could afford him and where the move would make sense for Doyle. The sale of Binks yesterday and the extra Gyokeres money means our net spend on transfers since King took over is close to even. This season is still looking like the...

The quality of Championship players and their values have risen in recent years. For a bit of perspective we've just sold a reserve defender that most agreed wasn't good enough for us for £2.5m.

If people are getting wound up by this what are they going to be like when we reach the Prem? At least we're at home and have a chance of making it to the game. They have about a 3 hour journey when the roads could be congested. Yes it's shite. But get promoted and it will be worse.

Birmingham's challenge could go either way. Team full of strangers without much Championship experience. Spending a fortune doesn't mean a lot. Ask Stoke. Wrexham need to spend a lot just to become an average Championship side. This season will be more about consolidation than anything, then...

Correct. We're at our strongest since the last century. It's horrible when a shite owner destroys your club and you have to start again. You now have the owner who is destroying your club and he hasn't got a pot to piss in yet refuses to sell your club. We are rivals at the moment because...

We know nothing. Did anyone know yesterday morning we were going to sell Binks for £2.5m? A reserve defender for a quarter of what they might be expecting for Doyle.

Not many clubs in the Championship could afford £10m for any player, let alone for a defender, and he isn't ready for the Prem yet so a Prem move would most probably be a sideways move. Both Manchester City and Doyle know he has to move on. He needs a permanent club he can grow with. So...

Anyone thinking Doyle will be signed must be on hard drugs. But..... We have got about £2.5m for Binks. If we manage to get £10m for MVE that would be £12.5m. We paid £3.5m for KKH. If we sign Doyle for £10m it would be a cracking bit of business. It would be even better if we could sign him on...
