11.21am: Sheffield United are focusing their efforts on signing a striker. The Blades are believed to be locked in talks to sign Chesterfield hotshot Eoin Doyle.
Im not saying he aint pulling up trees this year coz he clearly is, but Im not overly bothered because we have 'good strikers' who are finding it tough in this division and there's no guarantee he will step up, or, fit into our team.
Now if you had said this 2 weeks ago I would have had a different answer...
Bramall Lane or Yankee Stadium to play alongside Frank Lampard and David Villa. If we are to believe today's Star New York City of the MLS are also in for Doyle,the lads got a choice to make. Beautiful down town Sheffield or New York City. Maybe you can convince him that Sheffield is more alluring Mr Clough.
Report today says Cardiff are being chased over a debt of £5.75million to Langston, Sam Hamman's backers when he had the club, which they're disputing.So, it could be money is tight.
Strange times down in South Wales, with Slade the butt of Cardiff fans' ire when it's their looney owner who's been responsible for bouncing out one manager, appointing a manger untested in British football then sacking him after less than a season, then going to Orient - on the verge of sacking Slade - to appoint him.
I feel very sorry for Russell Slade, a straightforward and honest guy but looking out of his depth in the whirlpool of Cardiff. I hope he has a good, and watertight, contract.
