Oh well, Brucie baby has struck the first blow to our club by stealing Curtis Davis for a couple of Mill...
Jeez, the club cat is worth more than that!
Redmond will be next... probably for less!
The premier league basement boys are out for a quick bargain and Pannu obliges!
I Rue the day these Chinese took over, they have ruined our club!
Carling cup winners a couple of seasons ago... whoopy dodah!
L1 awaits... unless a miracle happens!
Davis has gone... for peanuts!

Disappointing fees but always expected Davies redmond and king to leave this window. Redmond fee is shocking considering how much palace got for Zaha and butland fee was ridiculous I'm sick of us getting ripped off.
The term football family is often used but it's a myth every club is circling blues and every other club in a similar situation.
Pre season has been better than expected we have signed some good players and a few more on the way we could have a better team than last season if we sort the defence.
Get your season ticket and support the team it's all we can do.

You can't blame Brucie Baby for stealing Davies for a couple of mill..
It's Pannu & CY that are the thieves round here.
Saying that, you've got to give Clark credit where it's due for signing young, hungry players (his words) and hopefully we'll see the new lads ripping into opposition defences with speed and precision.
I'm actually looking forward to the new season which for me, will start with a visit to Shrewsbury.

Why dont they just sell up and go?
Ting Tong is not going to get back what he paid for the club and the more this court case drags on the worse the club gets - pretty soon lee clark and pannu will be picking themselves for the team (obvs with pannu getting the higher appearence fee in his wages)

I think Clarks doing a great job at the moment considering our circumstances. He's coming out and telling us fans how it is, he's made some decent signings so far, obviously he won't be able to replace Redmond and Davies with someone as talented, which is the most annoying thing.
Whoever gets Redmond for £2million will be laughing, just like Stoke are when they 'stole' Butland from us. It's starting to get ridiculous, and I'm afraid that if our clown of an owner and his puppet haven't accepted a takeover by now, I doubt they will until they've squeezed every penny of money we 'owe' them and we're fighting relegation to League 2.
I refuse to give them any of my hard earned money, I will not buy a ticket down the Blues until they've gone. I'm not the only one who has more important things like a house, car etc to pay for rather than a money laundering hairdresser.

Davies was obviously a high earner and could still have been on his premier league wage, we all knew that the high earners were going to go this window. I am a bit dissapointed with £2m but it's better than him going for free. Other clubs know our situation, it's well documented, so we are in no position to say no.
If Redmond goes it will be for around £3m, so prepare yourselves for that one. It's time we started building a squad rather than constantly filling in empty holes, so I can see the squad we have at the start of the season being the squad for a few years to come.
In response to the op's comment "Carling cup winners a couple of seasons ago... whoopy dodah!". If given the chance and I could go back to that day, I wouldn't change a bloody thing! Silverware is what football is all about.
No one is going to want to buy the club for the price they are asking when he is in the middle of a court case. Best case scenario is that he is found guilty, the club enters administration, administrators come in and they sell the club. We already know there are people interested, administrators can't be fussy on price or picky on who they sell to, unlike the current owners who want a unrealistic asking price etc...
What happened to Keep Right On?

Davies was poor for most of the season , but will still be missed , Redmond , not a bad player , plenty of skill ,but not much else , he might improve at another club. ..

I am sad to see Davies go but he has been with us for two seasons in the championship and deserves to get another crack the at the premier league. unfortunately I can not see us getting there for a number of seasons.
Redmond is a good player and one I rate highly. I spoke with the lad when he returned from the under 21's and he does not want to leave but feels he has no choice which is the most disappointing thing.
The owners have ruined our club and I think most are aware of my feeling towards them. So I will not repeat myself again.
I have renewed my season ticket and did so the first day I could and my season starts in less than two weeks in Ireland!

I was looking forward to a blues team been built around the likes of butland redmond reilly hancox and asante but one by one there leaving. For the first time in years we have a youth team good enough to get in the first team whether due to financial restraints or not and there been broken up that's the most disappointing thing.
We've had a much better pre season than I anticipated and signed the right kind of players. Every one who comes to buy the club is put off by pannu asking prices and the baggage we must have a few skeletons in the closet.
But I would rather be in league 2 and keep the cup win than make up the numbers in premier league with overpaid journey men
