[Stirchley Villain]

Trouble is most players who "know" the Champoinship stay in the Championship.

Sky Sports reporting we've had a £3 million bid accepted by Bournemouth for Tommy Elphick.

Sean Teale the 2nd?

[Toronto Villa]

You need a mix of players who know the division, ones that are good enough and will get us out of it, and those that will be able to fit in just fine at PL level and ensure they are very much a part of our future.

Don't think many of us would have too many complaints if that turned out to be the case.

Fans of his current club are sad to see him go, always a decent sign.

He didn't though, did he? He was a vital part of a team that won the league.

People say we need players that know the Championship. I don't think that this is necessary. What we do need are players that have the right attitude to play in the Championship.

And to point out politely when someone isn't pulling their weight.

[JUAN PABLO]

£27 million to go then ?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'know' the league.  Couldn't we just employ a scout for £40k a year to assess the opposition? 
I like what someone said earlier - to paraphrase - it's not knowing the league it's being prepared to play in it.

[Ian.]

£31 million, hopefully we'll mug someone off for 4 million for Gabby😉

[cdbearsfan]

We need Ireland knocked out and their manager sacked and appointed by some gullible club Chairman!

[Ian.]

Yes, we do, I gets your thinking. It would be a match made in Heaven.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think O'Neill will retire once he finished Irish Project.

[tomd2103]

Yeah and he'll return to punditry. 

[footyskillz]

Gunnarsson the Icelandic at Cardiff he's a combative player and has a long throw. Decent hard working player of limited but could certainly steel up middle. Has also expereinced promotion.  Get him and jedinak.
Then up too perhaps along with bamford.
Bring in hal Robson kanu.He scores at this level and can be foil in box to gestede or if take on big Fletcher.

Elphick seems a decent move.

So that's
Gunnarson
Robson -Kanu
Jedinak
Fletcher
Elphick

Need to also look at some creativity and pace . I'll have a look round see what else can find .
