- Go at least this week without selling - Start getting new faces in next week Is it a bit sad when that's the best target I can think of? Still not heard anything about how much money Newell's got to spend, or what he's gotten from the Edwards sale; apparently we've rejected a couple of bids for Vine though. Yay?

Ah hell - even point 1 is looking unlikely now. Apparently Birmingham are willing to offer up to £2m for Vine, and I can't see the board rejecting that We're going from a team that looked like challengers for the play-offs for a long time last season to a team with relegation looming, all because of player sales. Tell me Mr Tomlins, is that £6.25m worth it? (Probably about £8m if Vine goes) Is it fuck

Oh, for the love of-! I'm not speechless, there are many words I could say to that, but I'd like to spare that particular vitriol for if I ever pass any board members in the street. Do they actually want us to have a large enough squad to continue playing? Because that really is the way it's looking! I can just see the starting line-up now... Beresford, some youth player at right back, Perrett, youth player, youth player at left-back, Brko, Robinson, Bell, Emanuel, Feeney, Boyd, with five youth players on the sub's bench. And that's with a shade of optimism right now! Argh. So fucking angry right now. Neko mad. Neko smash! *stomps about on matchstick village*

Easy there Neko... My moan is that Cardiff can't even seem to attract any players for the big push in the second half of the season... OH and Derek - you're meant to be "a happy hatter" stop crying man!

Well, let me re-phrase it: Look at my line-up listed above, and try telling me you'll match that! (Especially given that even a couple of those listed are presently injured ) [Edit: No, it's not above, it's on another thread... my prediction is 3 youth players in defence and 5 on the bench ]

OH and Derek - you're meant to be "a happy hatter" stop crying man! Hi jh I'm always (reasonably) happy, I've seen all this before, we sell a couple, find two more and repeat We usually pick up some free's or Bosman's, but that mainly happens between seasons of course; the January window is a killer time for us. Still we've got our wonderful stadium to keep us happy ;D

Birmingham co-owner David Sullivan has promised the fans he will do his best to sign Luton striker Rowan Vine. (The Sun)£5m, bitch Take it or leave it! Geez, when're we gonna start hearing "Luton boss Mike Newell will unveil his latest signing later today..."? I'm starting to feel less depressed and moreso annoyed now - show some ambition, board!

Give it two weeks; I reckon you'll see 'beyond a joke' then Bet they say we'll play Boyd and Feeney up front, after all we paid a half-mill for Boyd and Feeney has scored two goals so far this season Oh, and we'll cope with Perrett and Coyne in central defence, assuming the opposition can't either run fast or Coyne stays fit. Who plays centre back for the reserves now? Edit: Hey Neko, we've signed two players!!! Look!but Keane wants to go out on loan

Pity they're not two new players really It's a start, at least! Can't blame Keane for wanting experience, but right now I don't think Newell can afford to let him go

Just looked on the BBC site, the transfer rumours as goes players in read like this: - We're rumoured to be after Luke Varney from Crewe, although we're not the only ones! - Well the good news is that none of these hungarians have made the mark and Liam george won't be signed either as he was less than impressive in his training and 25 mins for reserves. Nice to know he hasn't changed much either. - after selling vine. i think ur top target has played on loan with you guys before is steven kabba... excellent championship player but low on confidence fancys a move back down south watch this space - The latest rumour i heard was Pawel Abbot the polish Huddesfield striker. - Rumours are going round on our message board that Luton could go for Karl Hawley. Hawley has been excellent in the last two seasons and could easily play at Champioship level imo.

Hardly big-name signings, are they? I think they're all midfielders/forwards too, which is not what we need most right now!
