 | News Comment | Delap Release Clause £30m at 17:14:43
IF true, this feels like very poor management from Ashton. Including City's 20% clause, this means the club would profit a maximum of £9m? If we've paid £15m to City and not met any of the add ons. I'm not sure that stacks up. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: Arguments Both Ways on Delap Senior England Call-Up at 16:48:44
Think Kieran makes the key point here as to why Delap's not been picked for the senior squad. To be the number nine for the U21s this summer is a major milestone, and presumably this squad is a huge step towards that tournament for the U21 group. |
 | News Comment | Delap Left Out of England Squad at 10:12:11
I think people underestimate the importance of the U21 Euros this summer. Delap will be the main man for us there and this is a key squad on their journey. They'll want a consistency of selection from here until the summer. |
 | News Comment | Delap: I Knew I Could Score in the Premier League at 15:15:38
I get the sense some of our fanbase don't realise how good Delap is. Look around the Prem and ask yourself how many number 9s would you swap him with? It's a very, very small list. He's excelling in a side 19th in the league. His market value is colossal. |
 | News Comment | Al-Hamadi Close to Stoke Move at 12:06:48
Good luck, Ali. If permanent, absolutely no reason why we shouldn't make a profit on our £2m layout - one of the best talents in L2, did well in a promotion-winning side in the Champ, now has PL experience. He'll be back in the Prem one day, no doubt. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: Philogene Deal Not Yet Complete at 16:48:37
Genuine question - where is the bother? We live in a world of 24 hour rolling news, instant gratification. This is a near-club record deal, and it's clear that there is no need to worry about it not happening. The fee's agreed, the contract is agreed, the medical is complete. I think everyone should relax, personally. |
 | News Comment | McKenna: Donacien Said Emotional Goodbyes at 15:37:31
What fabulous comments from our manager. Not many clubs in the country would allow an out-of-contract player to do what JD has done the past few months. Proud that ours has. |
 | News Comment | Philogene at Town For Medical at 16:29:47
People talking as if he was a prisoner at Villa. He started a Champions League game at home vs Juventus, which they won. He was very much a part of their squad. But we've tested their nerve with another offer and it makes sense for all parties. Just move on from the Villa thing. We've finally got another of McKenna's targets. The prospect of him and Omari behind Delap is mouthwatering. |
 | News Comment | Sheffield United Eyeing Woolfenden at 13:17:50
I think fair play to Woolfy, all signs point to him wanting to go and play football week-in-week-out. Time to spread his wings. Not everyone wants to have the 'local boy' tag for their whole career. Whatever is decided, he'll have my backing. |
 | News Comment | Everton Linked With Permanent Move For Philogene at 12:25:44
You'd hope that we'd be seen as a better bet for young ambitious players at this moment in time - but Everton could well be more appealing. What's clear is that he's definitely going to move in this window. |
 | News Comment | Youngster Iorpenda Joins Brightlingsea On Loan at 21:33:21
Are we seeing more youngsters going out on loan this season compared to previous years? Or is that just my perception? Quite like it, you can see how much Foyo for instance must have got from his spell. |
