^^ Sounds a decent addition to me. A replacement for Vela??

Iles also tweeting "A lot more to come from Parkinson on Madine. A very interesting situation developing", after tweeting "Parkinson has confirmed one bid has been rejected for Madine. Says it would be "crazy" to sell".

Sounds good. We needed something in midfield. Even if that something allows Josh to drop deeper (he's not as good there but needs must).

I'm predicting that if Madine goes this window, so does Parky and his team.

Yep, though that was the silver lining to big Per leaving. This would be the extra rain cloud under the storm.

That was one of life's 'where were you when you heard...' moments for me.

I was in Redditch - I'd just come out of a meeting at Halfords HQ to be exact. My sadness at learning we'd lost Frandsen was immediately tempered in a punch-the-air stylee upon hearing that Todd had resigned. Great coach, I've no doubt, but never a manager in the memory of man.

sounds more like a replacement for Armstrong, but does make you wonder

If he’s a hard worker who links up, he could suit Parky’s idea of a No.10. Which is good, because at the moment our second option appears to be the Postman - not that I don’t love him, but I do think he’s best wide right.

Also gives the option of pushing Vela deeper, which may not be ideal but may be necessary until we get bodies in.

I was at the Reebok at an event, bizarrely enough when it all went down.

Great article that pal. I'd forgotten all the stuff around Hargreaves and the 'winning' of the tender for building the ground. Great that the one player mentioned in there that we did hang onto was Gardner. A great servant to the club

According to Alan Nixon (yes, I know) we're chasing an English premier league centre half on a loan, with a view to a permanent signing. Must be someone almost out of contract!

Or someone that has kicked around the U23 squad and played the last 20 seconds of a match because everyone else was being rested.
