If true that's quite an investment for a Championship Club

Oh yes

[Thoth]

Oh yes

[The Bloop]

Yes really.

Apart from him having a name that contains all the vowels in the right order I can't think of anything positive to say.

[Nick]

Yes really.

You've hit the CEILING there

For the record, I was quoting the alphabet

I was quoting Mrs Phelps, a horrible dragon like teacher at my old junior school who made us recite all the times tables every single day.

I before E except after C.

When the sound is "EE", and it's not a proper name.

Surprising how many people don't know the full rule, and cock up their spelling due to the "exceptions" if only the first line is used.

Spot on Bob, it's basic stuff that everyone should know. I think the full rhyme goes like this:

I before E except after C,
When the sound is "EE", and it's not a proper name,
Unless there's a P followed by a T,
And only if you're right-handed and it's raining outside.

Thank God we've got £10m Kenneth

[NYCBlue]

Villa paid £12M for Ross Mc Cormack. Now that's a lot for a Championship Player

[WJ99mobile]

Unfortunately £5m is nothing in the current market. When Joe Mason goes for 3.5m and RossCo goes for up to 14m.

Unfortunately £5m is nothing in the current market. When Joe Mason goes for 3.5m and RossCo goes for up to 14m.

It's quite a lot for a French player though. Lyon have just signed Bertrand Traore for £8.8m (which looks like a steal at current rates). Valere Germain has joined Marseille for £6.8m and is a lot more established, with a better goal-scoring record.
