    Yes mate, broke his foot i think. Then was it his hamstring after coming back?

    Just been looking and he played 43 games last year. Some effort that for a player who plays like him.

    Good luck to the lad. Hope he goes and does really well for himself.

    Not sure why you say it's frightening, O'Nien is a very good championship CB. Clarke is far more than a one trick pony

    There is still plenty of time left in the window, to make a better call when the injury becomes clearer.

    We just need to stop rushing people back

    Intrigued by this Mendy link. Looks an accomplished finisher based off the YT video (i know...)

    Love the moaners on my fb page we needed an experienced striker then get linked with Alexandre Mendy 30 and fans are like he's too old

    He’s just not though but we’ll start another debate on the matter because it ends up dragging on over every thread :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Just my opinion mate seen him ineffective plenty of times simply by showing him onto his left and not letting him cut inside. As I said earlier the gulf between the two divisions is huge - playing against the ageing legs of the likes of Tommy Smith, Ryan Leonard and Joe Edwards is a far cry from the standard in the prem.

    Considering alternative sales look unlikely, I’d snap their hands off for a good offer for Ekwah. In my opinion he’s by far our least important saleable asset. Especially considering Riggs emergence and Brownes signing

    It could certainly have been worse if it had happened at the end of the window.

    Agreed re not rushing lads back.

    Ekwah is a weird one for me. I don't think it's outrageous to say that he has arguably the highest ceiling of anyone in our squad, has all the raw attributes that top clubs want in midfielders especially the ball carrying but he just doesn't put it all together often enough to make up for his deficiencies throughout a very hard 46 game season. Thought he would be the victim of Browne arriving as well.

    He'll be good in Italy though, will suit him to a T.
