Ska Junkie

God bless Martin, truly City til he died and truly inspirational in the way he attacked 'Tommy'. My deepest love and condolences to all his family and friends. Sleep well my friend, you battled so hard and will be deeply missed. I'm so sorry for your loss Russell.

On the subject of the statue, who do you contact to get a name added to the plinth nowadays and the cost? I'd like to get my dads name added. @JerrySLO?

If he's any good, we will get him.

Let's be honest here, we played midweek, Leeds didn't and a rested Leeds are clearly a very, very good side. We now know the levels we need to aspire to. For me, it's a case of saying 'well played Leeds' tbh. The way our 3 centre halves were exposed to pace was brutally good.

What's that now, 3 to arrive next season and we've already signed them? Murphy, Bird and the lad from Aldershot? If we try to keep Twine, we must be losing the older guard.

Doesn't appear to have happened tbh, not listed anywhere.

Maybe the digital switchover hit the mem 11 months early.

Question. If Dire tears it up here, what's to stop Man C invoking their byback option then asking us for a far higher price ( not that I think they would)?

Liam has been watching him for 'some time'. Your way is far more entertaining but this one's on Liam IMHO.

I bet the fax is playing up again.

Has Bird not signed then? Can't see confirmation anywhere.

To be fair, some very good players haven't made it at Man City, they're a bit good!

If it works out, let's hope so. He signed for the Belgian mob for €1.65M, should be within our budget. Let's see I suppose. Looking strong, if a bit young, for next season already and if this guy is decent and available, boom!

You miss my point DS. I meant that we wouldn't be the only club interested come the summer and, while he's happy to sign for us now (good on him), I'm sure there would be more money available to him wages wise, in the summer, if he had waited. I take it as a positive that he's signed now rather than wait until the summer tbh.

So, are we expecting 1 in more then and nobody out?

He'll be at Bournemouth by then.

Maybe we wouldn't get him in the summer?

Who on earth is Smith? I read this as Bird was a player we wanted in the summer but would probably be outbid once he'sOOC, so we took a chance and went for it now. If that's the case, we'll done City for taking an opportunity.

I'm definitely not ITK in any way whatsoever, pure guesswork on my part. I do enjoy the desperation from some of those that do pertain to be ITK though.

They said that about Knighty to be fair. It will be 'undisclosed' as usual. £1-1.5M?

That was quick!!

Isn't that the arena etc that are going to court?

Please!!

Taking the extra player from where? I don't necessarily disagree but 1 more up top leaves 1 less somewhere else. On McCrorie, considering he's been out for so long and IS rusty, I really like what I see.

Isn't that weird. I rushed like hell for Friday, really enjoyed it but hated Saturday. 3 hours of shopping with Mrs Junkie, cost me a fortune!
