Probably close to 2 million if not a bit more. We got 1.5 for mcnulty coming off the Back of one good league 2 season. And he was 27 if I recall. No way do you get Jephcott for less than that

With them coming up from league 2 you think it wouldn't take a lot to prise him away. Fits our mould as well.

Not forgetting their, there and they're...the ones that get me are not being able to tell the difference between ‘of’ and ‘have’ and ‘are’ and ‘our’.
Robings would win itI think we need an SBT spelling bee that would be hilarious considering the words some cannot spell
Crowley is a attacking midfielder a No.10 and is small he’s not a cdm,imagine Jay Tabb but will a lot more skill lolRather than just picking names, isn't it better to identify where the main needs are, and then decide whether those names being mooted fit the identified need? Just because a player may be good, doesn't men they meet a need. Or is that too sensible?
We want imho
1. Firepower up front - which crudely speaking can come in one of two guises - a big target guy or a poacher finisher. As we often play one up front with O'Hara playing off him, the former is the big missing - a classic, large, athletic, front man - Baka only a lot more physical.
2. Defensive midfield - a temporary Kelly replacement - difficult as that position is usually best occupied by an experienced head, rather than a classic loan.
I don't know enough about either Crowley or Clarke but on the face of it neither fits the brief. It is possible that Cowley could take Sheaf's place, as he has been too inconsistent, but that would still leave these two big gaps unfilled.
We should not panic. We're 17th on p.p.g. with one of the tightest Championship defences despite an inexperienced second string goalkeeper. In the summer we will have Hamer money....

Picks the ball up runs at players,has a low sense of gravity & very quick feet,he’s ideal for one of the attacking midfield slots behind the striker,Crowley & O’Hare behind a striker will cause teams all sorts of problems...Crowley is miles ahead of Shipley,Allen etc it’s not even close the lad is class.We desperately need an attacking midfielder too. O'Hare needs competition. Crowley is that type, he not in Sheaf's role.

Maybe because the Birmingham managers have had a different opinion to our esteemed expert.So why can't he get a game for a very poor Birmingham side?

There are players that can knuckle down and graft, who you want when you are in the trenches and there are players that will shine in any team that enjoys a high percentage of possession. Crawley is perhaps the latter.

He’s technically far better than what we have currentlyHe has done nothing in his career so far to be called “class”. Played 50 games in England for 3 clubs and been let go/sent back by all 3.
He got bombed since thr new manager came in nearly all blues fans want Karanka gonePlayed most games last season. It's this season since change of manager he's struggled. It happens.

If you can't take loans as a barmoter, equally you can't take comments about how professional he is, from a manager who wants the player gone, as reliable.I'm not sure that you can take loans when he was 17/18 as proof of anything.
Regarding Birmingham, played most games last season under Clotet. Karanka has said recently about him being talented and professional.but not fitting his style (essentially prefers more defensive midfielders). He'd be a good fit for our system if it were true.

Sheaf is good player, who i think with time will get better. Dunno what so many have against the guy, we have worse players who don't take half as much shit.You want to drop the DM we signed to replace Kelly and sign another? Why?
Scored against us but then again, who hasn’t?
Crowley definitely has ability, no question about that in my view. He developed a slight attitude over the years, but as I said before, if he’s playing and managed well he’ll be an asset.
MR’s track record in similar situations is promising; he got the best of Bright who as we’ve all seen has zero professionalism, Crowley is nothing like that.
Crowley and O’Hare attacking, with Hamer and Kelly/Sheaf covering, recycling and distributing the ball, is a strong midfield four.
With the right striker it’s even better.
So when is this signing happening then?
