del boy

antonio all arms and legs - maybe took the wrong option, should have cut back for Gillet

ipswich header wide from corner (Merrington - should have hit the target)

nice problem

Tricky one....I'll take the win, though the bust is quite tempting

We dont need that sort of considered response on this forum thank you very much - a bit more action in the knee department please!

I say we keep the groundsman on the bench until the last 5 mins. Against tired legs he should be able to scythe his way into the box and apply the coup-de-grasse

and what could we use that for?

It depends - not bad if you're really there but not so good if you're just watching on telly

Two names I haven't heard mentioned before have appeared on the Echo list of possibles: Nathan Delfouneso of Villa, and Pim Balkestein, Ipswich Last time I saw a name on their list that no-one else had mentioned we ended up signing him - Jon Otsemobor ..anyone heard any rumours about the two above?

Even settled sides find it difficult to get the attack / defend balance right so it wasn't going to be easy with 3 new defenders. It will get much better, and needs to. So far this season we have scored lots of goals but leaked some silly and crucial ones, so AP has done something about it. As much as we want it things won't click in the first couple of games. The problem is we don't have many games we can afford to lose - which is why the equaliser from Millwall could have been so significant. I still think left back is a problem, as well as a more robust centre midfield. Were 2 or 3 players short still but it's a big gamble to keep buying now.

Strange midfield choice, must be thinking of fixture pile up. Would definately settled for a draw to start, but what a gutting way to throw away a gift

Sounds armless enough

Their defence shouldn't be tired, they haven't had to do anything

Were catching Leeds if anyone is in need of a straw

No middle order, Millwall to score a sizeable total by teatime and then declare

As usual the "facts" come from a mixture of agents whispers, newspaper speculation, forum headline seekers and those ITK... nuff said.

Legend - gold plated, FACT His whispering mode, OMG, sublime, he's got to be up there with the greats, a strangely morphed crossover between Stewart Hall, Stanly Unwin, Ron Atkinson and Ronnie Barker. Youve got to love him.

Yes but he costs less than a million so we're all disappointed which means he must be cr*p .... I think thats how it goes.

exactly

Likely to be kept waiting

+1 ...good summary

I thought I'd go crazy and use the transfer rumour thread for a transfer rumour posting instead of starting a new thread () ....... where has the Jon Otsemebor rumour come from, do we know any more (its on the Echo website, if they know something it must be old news?)

Yes, there's not enough

Nearly there, just another CB, LB, RB, CM and striker.
