Dion Dublin turned down a £6.5m bid from Blackburn. A week later he joined Villa for £5.1m

It’s not just any defender though. It’s a top-rated player who’s been out with injury for a year and made a very impressive comeback at the World Cup. I’m surprised that Souter doesn’t have “better” options than going to Leicester tbh.

Pete’s in went with the Recruitment Team to Blackpool?

That’s not a nice way to talk about Crystal Palace.

And two days later they sacked the manager.

You’re ‘apparently hearing reports’? Don’t you even believe in the voices in your head anymore?

That’s two Jamie Paterson’s

It means that Leeds can’t recall him to transfer to another club. Nothing to see here.

Is that really the reason some people think he’s lazy?

Virtually no agent would work on such a long-term frame. It’s a massively cutthroat business and Vik could have changed agents twice before he could leave on a free in 18 months. More likely is that an agent would be urging him to move now, or possibly move for a smaller fee (and a larger wage)...

An agent telling his player not to agitate for a move?

We’re signing Rando Panic? Class Croatian centre midfielder. 😎

Waghorn HAS a better goal-scoring record in the championship

Out of interest do you think any other championship club would take him off us?

ppl 1) he doesn’t take my calls but maybe when you get through tell him you’re (not me) comparing him to a bloke whose never played above the second domestic tier and whose has actually played only for Cov, Burton, MK Dons, Crawley Town and Alfreton. 2) I’ll repeat McFadzean has real...

Ok fair enough. I’ll accept that. What’s the word for a player who’s 36 in February with that track record?

How else wd you define him?

Agreed. But that’s also the problem. He’s also been injured/suspended every year since he came to us. Building so much around him is not exactly sustainable.

McFadzean has been the fulcrum this season but he can be fairly erratic himself. That we’ve been so reliant on a 35 year old journeyman is a symptom of our defensive vulnerability. That period when we weren’t conceding goals was pretty mystifying, we made daft defensive errors in virtually...
