Oy. I haven't said a word.

Not you

Why would people think that Derby would rather sell to Birminhgham than to us? Surely Birmingham are far more of a direct competitor to them this season than we are?

Maybe we've moved on to another target ?

The Birmingham rumours seem more current.

This is an insightful read from the folk who should rate Russell the least:

Every board has a character. Step forward King Ragnar.

Hmmm. Alan Nixon of the Sun tweeted that we were trying to sign Russell a couple of weeks ago.

Alan Nixon said Brighton were "keen"/ not the same as "trying to sign". He hasn't reported that we've bid and hasn't mentioned any interest in 2 weeks.

Let's hope this guy drops off our radar quickly, he's average at best and we already have one of those in Skalak.

Agree. He's okay, but another example of not improving on what we have and arguably going backwards slightly.

He said we were trying to do a deal with Derby and it would be difficult.

Nevertheless his focus now seems to be on Birmingham signing Russell.

Just thinking he maybe more of a winger...

but no natural wiseman to get the ball into the middle.

No

I reckon we will gamble on someone banging them in in non league who can play sam b role. Danny Rowe at fylde. Everyone is looking for the next Jamie vardy so when he wins us the premier league title next season we can enjoy the film. I don't think he has played in a tag though so not quite as good for the story.

Weird because Skalak last season was great

The current criticism of Skalak seems very similar to that of Barnes doesn't it. Remind me how did he get on!!!?

"Birmingham City still trying for Russell at Derby. Brighton waiting to see what fee is."

Makes no sense. We were in for him in August - I doubt we've waited 5 months for someone else to show interest so we can find out the fee Makes no sense what he's written?!

 

[BensGrandad]

I wouldnt be happy if we paid the reported fee of £3.5 m on him but then its not my money being spent.

Oh go on you must have a few tenners stuffed down the back of the sofa which could be used to help fund the deal

Robbie Keane will sign until the end of the season in my opinion. One of our targets, not surprising as he knows Hughton from Spurs. I can't see Keane waiting until the summer to find a club.
