done

hopefully Graham will revist today and post who he wants etc.

we're doing quite well in this league lets keep it going

I'll log on and check the team news then buy Graham's pick and my 'Bill' Nicholson (unless somebody convinces me it is a stupid idea) before k.o.

Right, I've bitten the bullet and plumped for Billy Sharp to replace Robert Earnshaw, leaving Murf a few extra pennies to play with. Many thanks to whichever of Chuck or Murf ends up making the transfer!

Wow, nice going but with 1.8m in hand surely a midfielder upgrade to a striker is surely what you need?

Surman Cormack for example?

Plus becoming clear that a Reading striker is required somehow

Well done to Mighty Reds for being the only player to get more than 2 points!
The team is still hanging around the mid 1,000's but now the team is taking shape with some good transfer we should hopefully move up the table slowly,

Bit annoying that Surman lost pen duty last night.

Might consider a transfer soon - he's steady but he's not gonna propell us forward - research to follow....

A good candidate to be upgraded to a star forward?

We have the cash, seems silly not to spend (most of) it. Maybe I should have done it last night with my Hammill replacement.

OK - Surman upgrade to a striker it is. Any thoughts on candidates please post and will decide by the weekend

Top scorers:

K Doyle Reading 53 £4.2m (can't afford)
R McCormack Cardiff 47 £3.2m
S Ebanks-Blake Wolves 47 £4.5m (can't afford)
B Sharp Sheffield Utd 44 £2.8m (got)
D Blackstock QPR 42 £3.2m

A Gray Charlton 39 £3.7m
C Iwelumo Wolves 38 £3.2m

D Adebola Bristol City 34 £3.2m
R Fallon Plymouth 33 £2.7m
M Paterson Burnley 31 £2.4m
N Maynard Bristol City 31 £3.0m

McCormack or Blackstock?

has nobody thought of replacing demerit
hasnt played lately
watford down the bottom

Limit a replacement to 1.8m and we can afford Doyle up front for Surman

Which part-timer is managing Demerit

that would be me!!
I'll replace him with a budget of 1.8

Camara for Blackpool 1.8m? 18 points so far??
or Alexander for Burnley 2.0m? 43 points so far??

If Chuck goes to £1.8m for his replacement then Doyle gets green light.

If he does not Mc Cormack gets the green light.

kightly needs to go aswell out for 3/4 weeks after just putting him in will look for a cheapie

If you reduce your budget by 0.2m then we can afford Doyle and Alexander (from above posts)

ok kightly 3.1 bodde 2.0

so....

Demerit Alexander
Kighty Bodde
Earnshaw Doyle

These sound like good transfers to those in the know?

Sounds good to me, gald I read this, didnt realise Kightly was injured after also just putting him in

Surman seems to have a reprieve!

No you have to sell him and buy Earnshaw so we can sell Earnshaw to buy Doyle

Surman to Doyle is my transfer - confirmed!

Sorry for being stupid! Works hectic and I attempted to fit fiso and ff in why being snowed under! So...

Demerit to Alexander
Surman to Doyle
Kighty to Bodde

Think that's right!

Why's Surman going? Though he was doing quite well? Takes pens aswel I think. A few Saints on here can give us the lowdown?

I have him and am a saints fan - McGoldrick took over pen duty the other night for some reason and whilst solid he is not going to push us inwards and upwards - Doyle has the potential to score more highly and is in a team much more likely to be scoring (+he's a striker compared to midfielder).

With so many transfers thought it a gamble worth taking.

The Hunts have scored again Maybe we should get Noel in the side too?
