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?

Haven't seen any stats but, thought Callum was all those things before his injury, then was not so effective for us in doing those things. Appears to be better this season with Sheff U.

Cautionary tales. Should we try for more players this window? Absolutely. Should we spend stupid money like some are suggesting? Absolutely not. Stick with the plan.

Have you watched the new series of Redeye? Uh Oh.

Stupidly small ground. Most money comes from TV, sponsorship and loaded owners these days. Gates some way down the list. Hence Wrexham with 10k gates spending more than us on players and wages.

Our average age before the loans was 26 and a fraction. Ipswich is 27 and a bit. Don't think we are a young squad anymore.

My favourite fuck you moment was the large one Birmingham fans were giving it after they beat us 3-0? before the Man U semi final. Then they got relegated ho ho. Some Ipswich fans were particularly nauseous after they beat us. Those two will do for now.

Geography has denied us a real derby unless Nuneaton or Beduth improve their current run of form. You can get to the centre of Birmingham in 20 minutes by fast train. It takes an hour to Leicester on the mickey mouse railway link. You can drive to Digbeth fairly quickly, to Leicester fine until...
