Just read online via sky sports that we turned down an approach from Sunderland this afternoon re Tommy Elphick ?

75, I genuinely don't know, what are their first-team squad sizes? I'd bet on ours being bigger. Given how much better at football they all are than us, I'd suggest that they have two very good players in each position, and then they have talented young players below that. We've just got three Huttons everywhere, so how do kids oust them all when there appears little will above for them to do so? We were Champions of Europe not long back, there surely had to be something there to build on.

Concerned with the Samba injury leaving us without cover. If someone offered us good money for Elphick he'd probably be on the way out but a loan isn't worth it it seems.

Shame that as Sunderland needed a leader on the pitch after being relegated last season.

I see Bruce Junior is now a free agent and looking for a club.

Read it and weep.

If he comes as I expect he will our administration is so disfunctional when the manager finally gets sacked they will give notice to the wrong Bruce.

Blues signing Jota. Would have loved him if we hadn't had got snodgrass.  Very good signing for them

Jota to Small Heath for six million apparently. The Brentford chairman refuses to comment until they have finished a hastily arranged board meeting.

I'm pretty sure Alex Bruce signed for Bury about three weeks ago on a free.

Apologies apparently Bruce left Bury after 4 weeks as he was on non contract terms and he was getting better offers elsewhere. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Alex Bruce was training with Bury for fitness purposes and played for them on a non-contract basis whilst they had injury problems so he has not been released as such. He was never strictly speaking their player. Anyway, he's not coming here.

Jota going to the unwashed is annoying. Brilliant signing for them.
