To get two goalscoring midfielders into the club in a week and both captains at their current club, for a combined £4m would be very good going.

Think Bruce has still got to decide on a formation that is going to get the best out of them.  I was happy with his signing, but the more I see of Jedinak I just don't think he is the answer if we are going to play any kind of decent football. 

Still hoping to see a forward come in.

Bit of an odd one
Released by orient in the summer for nothing, plays 7 times for bury and is now worth 750k?
The kid is developing and it's not 7 million so well worth a punt.

His brother Philo has an orangutan called Clyde.
You are far too clever for rest of us Brummies Brian.

Sorry. Got a bit excited there.

Perhaps or really putting it out there play some of our own youth

I think jedinak could be a centre half

I don't think it hurts taking a punt on a player like that every now and again. It's worked for other teams and if it doesn't, we haven't lost a fortune.

OK I agree on that. We just don't take enough chances with our own kids.

If he were he will never be out of position.

I still think Jedinak can play anywhere.  His principal function is to look crazy and scare the shit out of anybody he can get close enough to kick.  Needs a couple of sachets of Andrews Liver Salts in his cheeks like a hamster.  When we are under the cosh defensively he could foam at the mouth.

A lot of talk on Twitter that Ross McCormack's going to re-sign for Fulham on Tuesday and then Ulloa will sign for us.
One guys even says "Put your mortgage on it." So I have and I can't wait to see my wife's face when it all works out.

4 3 3 or 532 with Jedinak able to sit in and not have to run much.

I thought I'd seen that Ulloa wanted to go to Alaves.
