The Godfather

Nobody wants Euell though. We could only get rid of Rasiak on loan. The bank is running the finances not Lowe. If you cannot get rid of certain players then others have to be off-loaded and as shown before at other clubs when you need money players are sold cheaper than usual.

But he knew this when he took the job. Lowe appointed somebody with that im mind, someone who has experience of bringing youngsters to the next level and somebody who won't rock the boat.

Sunderland weren't playing a load of kids, had money then got Roy Keane as their manager. Although the kids are better to watch, their is no plan B, and I don't see where the goals are going to come from. The goals we've conceded so far this season looks like the same inept defending as last season.

They are better to watch I agree but the way things are going this season outcome is only going oneway, Relegation.

I'm quite sure from when we signed him last January Boro have a sell on clause, so we won't get the full amount for him anyway.

The trouble is Baird is on 23k a week at Fulham, unless the agree to pay the large majority fo his wages we've got no chance. The trouble with only loaning Saga & Rasiak is although its wages of the bill, their is no transfer fee only a small loan fee. So the club have reduced the wage bill but without transfer money, little has changed with regards to having cash in the bank to keep Barclays happy. Maybe thats why Davies is being sold (if true) because very little money has come into the club this summer. The club obviously have a target to reach in terms of their agreement with the bank up until the end of the transfer deadline, thats when we'll see what sort of position we find ourselves in regards of players, and finacncial situation.

According to the papers this morning we've agreed a fee of 1.5million for Davies with Stoke, disasterous if true.

Stoke have just signed Faye from Newcastle for 2.25 million.

If we do get any loans over the course if the season they have to be 'older' players not youngsters, but the only problem with older players is they cost.

I see Birmingham winning by couple of goals. The way we are defending set pieces is a real problem in regards of our lack of height, Birmingham are a big side.

He scares me even more at right back. Would only play him as a last resort.

3-0 to Cardiff

The problem I see with the youngsters none of them have played 30-40 games a season at this level thats where I see us struggling over the season.

What is the current situation regarding Skacel? When are the club going to buy or loan a couple of experienced full backs?
