''I've heard rumours that we are interested in signing Panzo''

If I was a Derby fan I would be spitting feathers at the Administrators. What on earth possessed them to give Kirchner such an extended period of exclusivity?

While I understand the 'realism' of some, this is pre-season, traditionally the best time to be a City fan (last few seasons excepted) when we can all believe the next season will be good for us, until reality proves otherwise. Bigging up Middlesbrough & Gyokeres moving to them, does not fit...

Seems they just coin it whatever the outcome! How do you become an Administrator?

While Kirchner might have made the best offer for the debts, surely it's still the administrator's responsibility to make sure he can live up to that offer? With Ashley they might not get as much as they want to cover the debts, but still might at least get something. The likelihood with going...

I watched the MK/ Plymouth match at the end of the season. I don't think in all our time in that league did I see an individual performance as impressive as his that day. He can pass, shoot, defend and work like a trojan. Granted it was only one game but his goal record last season from midfield...

He will, not a chance he will go to either of them. I would think he will end up at a top end Champ club with parachute payments.

From the outside looking in it has seemed a little strange that the Administrators would have gone with Kirchner given his previous at Preston, over Ashley who clearly has the finances to buy the club. Are Administrators answerable to any authority for their decision making, or do they just coin...

Extremely limited evidence agreed but I remember watching Palmer play a couple of seasons ago and thought he looked a decent player. Didn't think he was a number 10 type player though, as he seemed to play a deeper role than that. Last season obviously doesn't look great for him, but he's a good...

I think they would be able to offer far more in wages than you might expect. Commercially his playing for a Welsh club would be massive, and be a great revenue generator for the club. If the club were creative they could pay him a Championship wage but then boost it up with payments linked to...

Brown didn't play in the Championship last season!

Loan maybe, but Southampton will still want a hefty percentage of his wages paid which will probably rule us out. Even then they might give it to January before deciding to loan him out, much will depend how their pre season goes I would have thought.

Armstrong signed a 4 year contract with Southampton on PL wages. There is not a chance he will transfer to us for what we could pay him.

Watching Forest yesterday it really struck me how they had got maximum use out of the loan system this season now gone. Yesterday they played loanees Zinckernagel, Garner, Spence, Davis and Lowe, without whom they would have struggled to challenge. We only brought in Maatsen and Clarke-Salter...

Agree we should play hard ball with any Championship rivals, and preferably not sell at all. I remember when we sold McSheffrey to Blues, Steve Bruce was in the press for weeks beforehand conducting the transfer, expecting us to sell at a price dictated by him. When we did sell we then replaced...

Its immaterial whether Gyokeres is actually worth £15m or not. The actual selling price will be dependent on the balance of power between the buyer and the seller. If we have to sell to stay financially afloat then we are in a weak position to command a big fee. Likewise if there is only one...

Yes, going well into the second half of the season there were plenty of comments that we never score from set pieces. Nevertheless was pretty surprised we were placed so highly, as we are not a particularly big team compared to most in the Championship.

I imagine that they will be selling Spence for pretty big bucks too. Nevertheless I would be surprised if they offered us a sum for Gyokeres that most of us would be happy with. Selling to a fellow Championship club also has echoes of when we sold McSheffrey to Brum, and that didn't end too...

Was he using the same agent as Waghorn?

Did he, or are you just making that up? To be fair even if he did its hard to argue that Leeds are not a bigger club. As for wages over his whole CCFC career - nowhere near £8m. It would be about half that, even if he had been paid £8k a week throughout his whole career with us (which he...
