    it’s just the striker premium and the fact he’s played in the premier league. But it’s still mental.

    I know. Not saying I agree with it. It’s ****ing ridiculous.

    I think the fee may also be inflated because Burnley have essentially agreed to delay it a year to allow Ipswich to stay within FFP.

    I’d really liked Ipswich’s business until this one. This one feels reckless.

    Hutchinson - Szmodics - Clarke

    Foster


    Superb front 4 in the championship but will they have enough to stay in the PL? I’m not so sure.

    If that's right that's £125 million they've spent in this window on 11 players. And they're reputedly paying ALL of Kalvin Philips £119k per week salary. If this goes wrong and they go down, they could be in real queer streets.

    Id probably have Delap ahead of Foster and I don’t even rate Delap.

    I’d go as far as saying that if we were offered Lyle Foster on loan I’d be turning it down.

    £25m ffs

    Another signing due at Birmingham - Scott Wright from Rangers

    They should piss League One but we know it never works like that.

    I think they absolutely will. 100+ points.

    Big clubs have been down there before (and obviously bigger clubs than Birmingham). But no club has spent like this down there. It’s unprecedented.

    Their level of depth for a 3rd tier side is ridiculous

    I’d love it all to fail mind. Never been keen on Birmingham and their fans were right ćunts down there last season.

    I'm in disbelief, are we talking about the same Lyle Foster that played Saturday?

    I think i'd be disappointed if he was linked to us. Wtf

    Genuinely just had to google who Lyle Foster even is, and I’m pretty clued up on football. His stats are ****e. 139 games and only 24 goals, with most of his appearances in poxy leagues.

    He’s scored a grand total of 6 goals for Burnley. SIX. That’s it.

    Burnley signed him for about £5m. £20m profit off six goals is mental.
