London blue

Felt like a tongue in cheek comment, no?

I know no-one on this board can answer me but I have to ask; what the fuck are the recruitment team doing? We're so short I can only imagine there are barriers in place preventing us from making even a loan signing. I predicted at the start of the window £<2m spend on transfers but I had my pessimistic pants on, I was slightly hopeful that the club would recognise how close we are to fielding an incredibly poor team. As someone said above, it looks like this is only going one way.

Two things, he isn't the manager, and he doesn't have zero input.

I think the issue is that the players in question are goalkeeper clearly well past their best and an ineffective winger with questionable work ethic/focus. I would argue that had Eustace not worked with the previously they wouldn't be targets, as neither of them seem overly inspiring (to put it mildly) options.

Yeah I had missed that post - it's a silly statement. Still, neither of the two Birmingham players seem universally wanted by those responsible for recruitment.

That's a bit reductive. Two controversial potential signings from a relegated club are being questioned. Neither of the two players seem to be attracting much interest from elsewhere, do they?

I for one am relieved.

If they shove Trav out the door the day after posting his video about loving the club they've outdone themselves. Fucking morons.

Spot on. It's a widely accepted fact that no club has ever sold a good player.

Feel you might have risen to some bait there, fella.

One of his recent was he's "been told we might bring in a keeper". Way to stick your neck on the line with a known recruitment focus there fella.

I'm fairly sure someone has done some maths on this recently but I don't know where they are. We're a relatively small championship club that, without the SS money has brought in at least £25m in transfer revenue in the past year. I don't buy that operating costs are still £20m p/a, especially after the multiple rounds of belt tightening we've seen. Operating costs is a wonderfully vague word for someone like Waggot to be able to wheel out. I'm by no means blaming anyone using the term cos we've all been conditioned by these pricks but it's really starting to get on my nerves.

He's fallible from time to time but you can't replace your experienced captain in the centre of midfield with a winger. That's fairly obvious, no?

He sure as shit isn't a replacement for Travis

I'd like to see Siggy over Dolan and Weimann over JRC. Rest of the starters against Norwich the same.

This is funny

I take your point but he plays for this club, and the current circumstances dictate - to me, at least - that his value is inflated. A sale for a couple of million give or take at this point would be a joke.

I don't think he's worth that, but the question was what price would you deem acceptable. It's late in the window, he's our captain and like it or not, a leader. Everyone has a price and for me, currently, 5m would be his.

I would be so pissed off if this were the case. The only exception being that if I were immediately reinvested in a similar, better/higher potential player. But that's dreamland.

Honestly at least 5m

Far easier to be ignorant when everyone is blocked. I'm on the list, too.

Ruddy would be a waste of time and money. I'd rather play the lad from Everton.

What? You know what, never mind. Derby were great and we showed incredible skill and capability to get past them, they'll be up there at the end of the season. The Norwich game was completely even and you couldn't separate the two teams. Ding dong battle. That make you feel better?

That's laughable. We escaped with a late equaliser yesterday after being on the ropes for half a game.
