    I can't see us sitting still mate not whilst the bandwagon is in motion however I do believe this season will be tougher than last.

    If the fee is £2m we would be stupid to turn it down. Every player in the world has their value and this is more than a fair value. If we start demanding stupid prices and don't let players go for a fair price we can forget about bringing in the next Metcalfe as they will never join.

    I'll be honest I for some reason thought Metcalfe was on loan for an embarrassingly long time this season! And if he had been we'd be handing him back anyway, at least we're making a good profit.

    The only bummer is that I think he'll do very very well for Millwall, I think we brought him down to our level at times, he's an incredibly gifted player.

    First question. What if the player wants to go to the championship club?

    Barnsley fans are quite similar to my wife, she spends a lot of time being wrong as well.

    Does this mean that in selling Metcalfe we can finally afford to go for Jatta, Jon Spicer and Billy Sharpe?

    That 'someone' also said a couple of weeks ago Fletcher was a done deal and last season said Windass was. He has a complete meltdown every few weeks where he spouts complete nonsense. If he's right about this one it would be a first.

    Yeah I think this year will be very tough.

    I cant see us banking all of it, some surely has to be put bank in now as a top up? Although we were self sufficient FC 18 months ago.

    Or it could be the same, or it could be easier
    At this stage no one actually knows
    If moving Jenson on has enabled us to strengthen across the team, then so be it
    A £1million+ boost to the clubs finances, is not to be sniffed at

    No, Keiffer Moore wanted a bigger sign on fee than we budgeted for.

    I was thinking the rumour was Kalvin Phillips. Finally found his level in L1.

    I think Metcalfe will have a sell on clause - both us paying to Everton, and Millwall paying to us when he moves on. Can’t see us getting anywhere near 2 million for him. More like 500k at most. He really dropped off towards the end of the season. If Millwall coach that annoying turn back inside and lose the ball out of him, he’ll do well.

    Leigh Palin was one of my all time favourites to wear a City shirt.

    The classy goal he scored in the League cup against Everton remains one of my favourite goals of all time too.

    I meant position wise type of CM. Obviously he has more quality but Leigh was very in favour Aug-Nov when we were at our best. Maybe Pattison is more accurate. Reality is he will add some attacking intent to the CM.

    Is it possible a promise was made when he signed, we would keep him informed of any higher interest?

    Don't think we would have accepted £500k

    Bristol rovers fans seem to think they’re getting Tommy Leigh

    Lock him in a darkened room until he sees sense
    It is Millwall after all

    I think it must be an attitude thing with him that GA decided he'd had enough of. I remember when Tayo was here and Palace were doing that documentary about his time here. He and Tommy were living at the same apartment complex and without fail, Tommy would be late every morning when Tayo was waiting to drive them both to training.
