The guy just loves playing football. If he wasn't hurt at Wembley he'd be with us in the PL. A great, great shame but he needs to move on for himself now and become a legend.

So says our man Turner - it was reported as personal issues previously "Clearly some way behind the rest of the City squad, Allen is starting his work in the gym after it’s understood he’s been off ill in recent weeks, and not expected to be out on the grass with the rest of a squad for a few...

Great! Let's hope he's fully recovered now. That length of illness takes it out of anyone so he'll need some time.

Nathan Clarke...

We don't know the extent of the injury of course but it's clearly been worse than a straightforward ankle sprain. He's unlikely to be fully match fit for the start of the season now..

They're all gambles to a certain extent.

For the same reason that he couldn't play the other night. He's maybe getting there now,,,

He won't go anywhere until he can pass a medical

I think King understands very well the need to spend a bit in order to accumulate and then sell on. £1-2 million seems to be where the action is

Was a kids show with puppets in the 70s. It was recorded in the Birmingham, ITV studios I guess. The pig had a broad Brummie accent, I suppose it was the fist time that a children's show had characters with regional accents.

although Robins did say in Jan that he want both Bidwell and Dasilva before the Pipkins bid

Dead right!

Not bad if he can do it often enough. He doesn't look like a defender physically from what we've seen so far but we'll see after a few more games. Anyway just initial thoughts I didn't say every game! He'd scare six or seven shades out of tired defenders for sure...

He could be very potent used as a 2nd half sub.

The new lads look more than useful. FGR looked very poor though, and we clearly backed off not to embarrass them too much so there's a lot more to come

For their families to sit on match days

I'm unconvinced that we're intending to drop that kind of cash on a centre half at all.

Yes, he did sort of imply that between the lines. He'll be allowed some grace until Jan as long as we don't get a clutch of injuries.

We rejected the Burnley offer apparently. I think that we'd over-pay for McNally in that kind of deal anyway. I've no idea who else they might be looking at

One thing we do know from the players who have come in that the process started quite a while ago, months ago in some case but at least before Wembley.
