Apparently an unnamed Championship club have put in a bid of £350,000 for the 19 year old highly rated defender (source SSN). Could well be us, to replace AEA. Initial bid rejected!

Just guessing but I expect we would have received roughly that amount from Bristol City, the player would have to understand that they were going to sit on the bench a bit and a 19 year old centre back from Carlisle probably would do, and it follows the recent homegrown targets that we seem to be interested in this season.

Andy Naylor said we received five figure sum for El Abd

That could be anything. £122.59 Is a 5 figure amount
£350,000 isn't. However you write it.

Brizzle City fan I know said they paid 100k for El Abd. The club that is, not him personally.

Well if that's a reasonably accurate figure then it's not bad. It's bad we lost him however but it's better than peanuts.
Never heard of this Potts feller though
Oh really?

There just happens to be more than one of figure 4.

He's a right midfielder or right back so unlikely.
Although Im sure were looking for a right back, cant see Bruno and Calderon being here next season.

I'm struggling to see where the 'sadly' fits in, is that not EXACTLY how it should be?

One player I would like to see us sign is Jacob Mellis from Barnsley, rumoured to be moving this window.

In the same Chelsea youth team as Bridcutt I think and so also probably also knows Ince & Monakana.
No. There are (at least in theory) players in the lower division who are good enough to make it in the championship, good enou to improve championship clubs, to be that missing piece. Players that have e tools but are in the wrong system, and if they step into to the right system in a championship club could tear it up. There are also players who are good enough for the championship, but were part of a team that wasn't so went down to a division below their talents.
There are players that are ready for the championship, ready to slot right into the first team. I guess the sadly is that we are not targeting these (because of cost? Because of transfer philosophies of the types of player we want causing us to miss out?*).
(*of course we could not be targeting them because we (rightly?) don't think they will fit the team or the style we play, but that isn't a reason for 'sadly')
