    At least he knows we actually want him, we bid £1m for him last summer.

    Had a run out against Dean on Saturday, he's lost a bit of timber it might be a result of Ehab grooming him for pre season

    As Oxford confirmed they rejected our offer, I think it's safe to assume that one did actually happen.

    Yes, because everything confirmed is always 100% the truth and accurate.

    Ehab probably paid them to say they received a bid

    Which was 40% of his actual transfer fee to Middlesbrough (£2.5m). So we weren’t actually that serious. I suspect more foul play from our odious owners. Submitting low bids knowing we wouldn’t get anywhere close to signing him.

    Because they were run by someone actively wanting a sale. We’re run by a clueless mother ****er that says he wants to sell, but makes it impossible for perspective buyers by being clueless and obstructive.

    They're certainly odious owners, but they did buy several players for more than that last summer.

    Don't worry. I believe his holiday included an email-writing course.

    Some were part of a transfer out Robertson/Stewart and Clucas/Kingsley. Both of which were staggeringly bad deals. Clucas not so horrific as we got a decent fee - Robertson deal with Stewart on the other hand was appalling business.

    We paid money for Dicko, Toral, Mazuch and McDonald - but given what we took on transfers out plus parachute payments- it was paltry.

    The 40,000 seater stadium probably had something to do with it. All your buying at City now is a council rent book and a list of stadium repairs to do, plus propping up a rugby league club. Wonder their isn't a queue a mile long.
