This can be the classic problem trying to buy a player of the standard we now require that is going to be in demand from other clubs in our division and abroad. We have a narrow set of parameters now. No good buying potential that may come to fruition in a couple of years. We need an...

I think it is difficult to get better players than our first choice eleven without spending big bucks. You are right, outside of our loans, the reserves we have bought have been really disappointing. KKH has been unlucky, he picked up an ankle injury at Millwall in the league cup and that seems...

I think we will get someone in if possible. Cost and availability are determining factors. Doug wont change the approach and put the club at risk. Don't think our wage structure will change unless we get promoted. All the noise coming from Lampard and Edwards is if we can get someone in we...

Hope so.

Applies to all teams. Ipswich might struggle if Clarke get a long-term injury and Philogene loses form. Same for Boro with Hackney.

Gould asked our centre halves who gave them the most trouble and they said Rosario. At centre forward he was pants. When switched to midfield was brilliant. Forest made an offer we couldn't refuse. Forest fans say he was rubbish.

I agree, but there are some nobs who just wont give up. Haji, JDS and Eccles still get shit. Kitching coming up on the outside.

Think we took on very high wages when he moved for a free from Bristol. He wanted another contract on similar terms, but we were not prepared to pay that much. Off he went to Hull for that money and secured his future. Fell out with the manager at Hull. It happens. His old manager is at Luton...

Should have said sarf London. No wonder Esse is scary coming from Deptford.

Should have called Saul

More fun than the gullible

Absolutely spot on. My mum used to go to fortune tellers and believed the classic non-specific stuff she was told. Good blaggers just repeat what we already know (we were after Manneh, a midfielder) and Lampard we know would like more cover. The suckers who take the bait on here are hilarious...

If you are paying that sort of money, the player has to be absolutely exceptional with a massive sell on potential. Think Ipswich paid £17.5 million for a dud. I know Esse is younger and has much more potential but £12 to £14 million mentioned compared to EMC £5 million looks a bargain...

Depends who sits behind you.

Most players are considered to be at their peak from 25 until their legs go. The point you made was we are a young team. We were a few years go but they have grown together as they have got older. The younger players we have bought have struggled to break through, apart from Rudi (24) and Bobby...

Yeah, when they tapped his phone, they thought they were getting the real King.

DK is not daft. He will keep to the plan. If he gets an offer he can't refuse, he will sell. If we get promoted, expect us to possibly go for a Cat 1 Academy. Spend wisely with sensible contracts if we are relegated, so we are not screwed if we are relegated after one season. Expect to buy...

We are still not a young side if you take the loans out. Most of our first choice team is 25 or over.

Irritatingly, the stars seem to be aligning for Ipswich.

Both only out a short time. Didn't Sheff U have two players sent off against Charlton? Not sure how long the suspensions are?
