Any player coming from Peterborough needs to be introduced very gently to the outside world. Wheeled vehicles, the domestication of animals, that kind of thing.

A valid point, but I must add that as far as domestication of animals is concerned parts of Birmingham leave much to be desired, with feral drug dogs running rampant and bejeweled, tattooed Small Heathens lurching from one lamppost to the next spliffing skunk and drinking from weirdly glowing tins.

As opposed to £7m last summer and £30m now?

Who has done it in the top level in Belgium for 2 years, at International level and now in the Prem.

Besides, that is only 4 times his fee, this guy they are talking 8!

Alcaraz? How would a guy just relegated in a side who conceded, incredibly, even more than us help?

Ince and Bridcutt I agree, but as said about, they will be very expensive.

dont knowmuch about Bridutt , he looked awful the other night . Bolaise of Palace thou , I like him.

It's funny because many Peterborough fans actually feel 4m is too low. I've heard some demanding as high as 7m! I think someone needs to remind them that they are a League One club now.

tSport's Durham said he would snap villas hand off for 4 million

Yeah fair play to him, seems to have started to talk a bit of sense recently.

I like him as well, though I might be biased because (I think) he scored against B-lose.

Just saying that it's risky to judge a player based on what someone says he's worth. Firstly, the seller will always over-inflate the price to try and get the best deal after negotiation and for anyone who hasn't seen him, they might have unearthed a star for all we know. Unlikely as that may be.

Blimey that Chelsea physio's fit.

Please Please can we give up and move on from NRC and Milner no matter how many times it is mentioned it is never going to happen. PL will already have a big list of players he has been watching and i cannot wait to see who he approaches in the next few months ......

Still wouldn't mind a Bid for Redmond. Are SHA still in such financial trouble that they would sell him on the cheap?

I was just thinking exactly the same thing.

She looks a bit like whatserface from The Good Wife (who spent half a series of The Sopranos shagging Tony).

Chelsea will be having a new manager and a clearout. Reckon we could tempt Cahill back?

I realised this afternoon that I'd almost completely forgotten Bret Holman plays for us.

For all the involvement they get, there are a number of high wage players we could shed and replace with no discernible effect (whilst acknowledging we need squad strength).

Holman
Ireland
Bannan (more recent this one, mind)
Given
Makoun (does he still belong to us?)
Warnock
Hutton
Bent
Dunne
KEA (border line this one)

and, although lower wage:

Delfouneso
Albrighton

Every time I've seen him of late, he's been gash.

Now we know why John Terry's always injured.
