    If Payne hadn't been out on loan, I doubt his resume would be more impressive than Tomlin's to be fair.

    He is a pointless signing for Peterborough. He will score goals for them but has goals been their problem this year? Has it ever been a problem for Posh sides in general? Their stats from last season suggested they needed to tighten up at the back and nothing has changed.

    He will be commanding a huge wage and taking up plenty of their budget. A chunk which perhaps may have been better served trying to bolster that backline.

    He'd better do Posh form at the moment is less than convincing.

    How do you know that the chairman isn't funding this through an increased budget, how much Cardiff are subsidising etc etc

    It’s the Steve Evans way. Chuck players at it until something works. Dinosaur

    He was on £20k a week are Cardiff if reports are to be believed. Even if they are contributing a proportion of that, it is likely to be a large amount of any budget in this division, especially for a team whose average wage was quoted to be under 2.5k per week the other year.

    For a club like Sunderland, who receive parachute payments and have Oviedo, McGeady and Cattermole on 30-40k a week, it wouldn't come as a great burden to their budget, but Peterborough don't get parachute payments!

    Hope there are some signings coming as between the players already gone and those told they can leave we've not much of a team - combine that if Payne goes then we definitely need reinforcements!

    I bet you said the same about Cummings at the start of the season when he joined them from Forest ;)

    Amazing how Evans can utterly demotivate some players.

    actually, to be fair, yeah I did. I was sure he'd bang them in.

    Sadly, the correct line is "But if you try sometime you might find, you get what you need".
    Fingers crossed.

    You have to have sympathy for the devil. He doesn't always get satisfaction.

    MacAnrhony is a shrewd chairman but i can’t believe he made him manager. The football he has them playing is god awful and everyone in the entire universe pretty much hate his guts.
