to be fair to him, last season due to the world cup the prem started well after the champ, Croft left Man City just as they were starting pre-season and we were finishing

Hucks, Lappin, Smith, Brellier all missing from midfield, also Safri is a midfielder so it was pretty much a 2nd string midfield against a premiership side

i thought Otsemobor looked good on the ball but if you watched him closely he left LBM free far too often, he was much better with a proper right winger with him in the 2nd half though

[quote user="ipswichrscum"] WHU 1 - 1 NOR     -    Huckerby WHU 3 - 1 NOR     -    Ljungberg [/quote] neither are playing

the midfield looks weak with brellier, smith, hucks, lappin and probaly safri unavailable so i doubt we''ll be able to compete too much

mid september isn''t too bad, 5 or 6 league games

[quote user="ellis206"][quote user="Baron Bludgeon 1"] Good to have him back, we should never have let him go in the first place. I remember seeing him run Portsmouth ragged when we beat them at Fratton Park the season  they were promoted. Can anybody recall what we sold him to Stoke for ? [/quote]   I thought we lost to them 3-2 the season they went up? cracking game though i remember it being on sky! [/quote] i remember that game, we deserved to win but they had Yakubu and Todorov(pre-injuries) up front who made the difference

[quote user="Quantum"]Fee confirmed as £410k on Stoke site. [url=http://www.stokecityfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10310~1081272,00.html]Link[/url] [/quote] we had a 30% sell on clause when we sold him so i suspect we offered 600k but with the 30% taken off it came to 410k

i would include wages for the players but we have let go of Thorne, McVeigh, MLJ, Hendo and Fisk as well as Etuhu and Earnie so it probaly evens its self out there

i don''t think we''ve spent considerably less on players coming in opposed to those going out we''ve got in £5m, but if you add the £2.5m spent on transfer fees to the signing on fees of Cureton, Strihavka, Brellier, Marshall, Gilks and Otsemobor it can''t be far off £3.5m and for all you know Grant may bring in 1 more player  

the squad is far better now than last season but i think we need a centre back before its improved enough to challenge

[quote user="ipswichrscum"]daryll sutch, after that pathetic penelty in cardiff !!!![/quote] fickle or what

why would Hoyte join us when half of the prem are interested? i also doubt onuoha would leave Man City as i think he will be on the verge of their first team   i like a young guy at Huddersfield called David Mirfin,  too good for league1 and was voted their player of the season last season

[quote user="BlyBlyBabes"][Yes, it does. Nobody offered to take Worthington off our hands.[:''(] OTBC [/quote] correct me if i''m wrong but didn''t Sheff Wed come in for him?
