    I hope Lees and Kisnorbo are given an extended run. Our best pairing at the moment, although needs to be improved on. Gimpel on the bench. Can't see Bruce even stepping near the pitch anytime soon.

    The best part of all this is that when we offload him in january, we'll get a decent sum for him since he's under such a long contract.


    Well, I say best. We won't see it spent.

    Marko, I think someone else summed it up nicely. Can we suspend him for a while, but hang onto his registration? He doesn't get paid. We save money, but anyone trying to tap him up won't be able to get him.

    Alternatively, we cancel his contract & get im off our wage bill.

    Third approach, we sell him in January TW for a suitable fee.... & then welcome him back to ER with his new team in a way only our fans can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I only got this from reading about the Tevez thing in the papers, but I think it's a very drastic option that the player and players' union would go mad over. Doubt the club will be able to do it. I think with the Tevez situation it's because he isn't even turning up to training anymore. It's ridiculous that AOB has got a pay check of thousands of pound this week.

    Well no, it is a breach of contract that can either result in a termination of contract in which we pay nothing out for or he gets fined a month's wages or so. Its perfectly acceptable to do that and the players' union can get stuffed

    We got him for free. Bolton were gagging to get rid.

    He's ****e, it'll be all the more sweeter when we hammer the hammers, hopefully with that donkey in defence for them.
    Although knowing our luck he'll pop up with a 90+ winner
