Cissokho has now gone.

He looks happy




Not as happy as me seeing the news!

Set you up there didn't I? I'll cross it and you nod it in!
;D


With this double headed quote fail, I'd say Villabear hit the crossbar when it was easier to score, and in exile put the rebound into the upper Holte.

And now, after the ref spotted an infringement and gave a penalty, I've skied it over the bar.

We have a habit of getting crap money for players so maybe 500k for Baker is true but then again Bruce was happy to keep him so it must have taken a decent offer.

I think we've been doing well selling players since the new regime took over, at least judging off the ones with fees more widely reported - Sinclair, Westwood, Gestede, Veretout, so, yeah, 500k seems out of place with those.

Been getting decent fees under the new regime, do don't think 500k is likely. Hopefully Elphick and Gardner next out.

Does that make me Ronny Rosenthal?

How does loaning out players effect the FFP rules please?

Receiving a loan fee, and not having to pay the wages - limiting our losses at the end of the season/accounting period.

Baker will not have been sold for 500k. It's not like his wages were an issue.

I agree.  Maybe someone down there got the wrong end of the stick and the cost as in his wages will be 500K.  £10,000 a week sounds plausible doesn't it?

I'd be surprised if they were as low as that.

We're being linked with Jefferson Montero at Swansea this morning. Would be a cracking signing if fit and able to reproduce his form of the season before last. Would also have a natural link with Taylor down the left handside. Only 27 too, which surprised me.

He usually impresses me when I see him play. I would be very happy if we got him.

Always looked an all fart no shit kind of player to me, but I suppose it'd be easier for him down at this level
