Or Super Nick for that matter of fact! Lol

I think the price we paid for Herr Proschwitz will detract from SB selling him; he's never going to get that back for him unless he has a good PL season, so we might as well keep him as a target man option. He said all along he'll take a couple of seasons to settle in and he seemed to get better every time he featured. Against Cardiff he really shone, expect to see him feature a little bit more next year, even if it's more sub appearances for Hooper and Austin.
the fact that we're considering keeping him and shipping out Hobbs is ridiculous.
Assuming you mean the £2.6m, we didnt.
But it's not is it? Other teams want Hobbs, no other team in the Championship would take Bruce. It really is that simple. I think you're being harsh on Snr, he knows Jack is a better defender than his lad and I'm sure would rather keep Jack.
The £2.6m headline figure was obviously based on all sorts of add-on's and we know the original fee was nearer to £1m, but now we've been promoted will have triggered at least one of those add-on's and we have edged closer to that fee.
The way I understand it (and I think I was first on here to question this figure) was that it was an outright mis-truth to benefit both us and Paderborn and there were no add-ons etc. I'm not saying that's gospel by the way, but that's what I was told from the same source who told me we paid knack-all for Quinn upfront when all the media were reporting 300k. You may recall the media then woke-up to this some time after I posted it on here.
That's obviously true and I'm not really having a go at Bruce, he's taken us up so if he wants to give his lad a Premier League wage for a year, he can.
Alex Bruce is the footballing equivalent of putting a childs drawing up on the fridge.
disquietTiger said:Evans and maybe Dudgeon might and probably should go on loan
Lots of gossip and speculation on here re new signings, but is there any news on players possibly leaving?
Steve Bruce has said that he will only allow Aaron Mclean - Cammy Stewart and Tom Cairney to leave IF the right offers are made.
Lee Clark said he expects two PL defenders in on loan next week.... Hobbs?
Adding to which Davies' interview in the mail he starts talking about Captain material...
fryatt has to go!!
But ANY offer for any of them is the right one. I'd shift all of them for free I'm afraid.
