    I’m hearing that Smithies is off to Cardiff for £4m. Sad.

    Seems a bit cheap. Not overly surprising though.

    Strange. I thought they had a clear #1 in Etheridge? Who has been a superb signing from Walsall and one of the reasons behind their promotion.

    Where have you heard this Nines? Fingers crossed it's just a rumour.

    Heard it too. On twitter, on news website,....we paid 1.5....so it represents a profit and we have two very good goalies I believe.

    It was always something I thought we would do... We cannot keep all 3

    If true, so much for TF's comments of not wanting over the hill players but building a team with young and hungry players. <doh>

    £4 Mill seems to be a bit on the low side - how long is left on his contract? Agree Lumley seems to be a decent replacement, but don't think Ingram is ready for first team football at Championship level.

    It does make sense to sell him, with two other good keepers on the books, but £4 million is not nearly enough.

    Pretty much expect him to be off...... But as everyone has said £4m for a keeper of his ability is way too low

    Should be looking for £6m minimum when you see whats paid for utterly average dross nowadays

    We always seem to undersell players... ... Seems to have always been the way as far as i can recall.... . Disappointing

    It did occur after my first post that everyone else knows we have no money. As confirmed by McLaren in his first interview.

    This came from some clickbait nonsense Twitter. Doubt there’s much in this.

    He's good enough for the Prem. Good luck to him. Shame though

    4. Million not too bad
    He wasn't that wonderful 2nd half of the season
    Seems a good way forwards for all three parties
    Wish him luck
    Cardiff in the cup at home
    Here we go

    It’s fine we’re going to sign Scott Carson for £3.5m.

    Into the PL with Warnock. Always a short and sweary visit, full of imagined injustices.
