    I see Burnley have just splashed £15million on Chris Wood,surely not the same player we had on loan who didn't look like he could hit a barn door with a banjo?!Madness,I tell you.

    It makes me even more pleased with the wonderful bit of business we did in getting Garner and Waghorn from Rangers! An absolute bloody steal! <ok>

    To be fair to him in regards to us, he was half fit and a fitness exercise for Leicester. When he was FINALLY ready to rumble, the p......s recalled him before we had any idea what he could do.

    I've said it before, footy is broken..... take the c league for next year. FOUR leagues get FOUR auto spots of the 32,,,, so every other league competes for the final 16 spots. How in gods name is that fair / progress?! f ing joke I hate it.

    It's all gotten a bit ridiculous really.
    Glad to see our club not getting sucked into it.

    If all signings are 'crazy money' then none of them are 'crazy'

    I remember when we spent £2Million to bring in Marcus Stewart from Huddersfield. The best bit of transfer business we ever did imo apart from signing the 2 Dutch legends of course!

    When talking about business surely the Mings deal has to be up amongst the bestest.

    In all fairness Weighty, the injury he got on the first day of the season was a real shocker, and a blow to him.
    If he didn't get injured, who knows what the season would've brought for him.

    He's still a very good player, and doesn't look out of place in the prem

    Not slating him just saying we paid 10k and then sold him on for 8m that is pretty good business....I quite like him as a player now.....early days he was awful.

    Early days Mings was utter dog.....

    14/15 season, when he was on he was a Rolls Royce, when he was off however Cardiff away 3-1 loss he was utter garbage. Wish him well in the future, however still happy with the deal we got for him.
