Players to buy in next week and a half:

Koumas - Having a good season at Cardiff and if rules allow us to bid for a player while he's on loan he'd give us that balance in the team and is obviously creative. About ?1.5m

Earnshaw - Rather him than Jerome or Eastwood. He's proven at this level where as Jerome has only had this season and Eastwood has never been to this level. If we can't afford to buy him or he chooses not to come on a permanent deal then a loan deal til end of the season would be ok.

Then a right back and a right winger, no idea who though sadly.

And by the sound of it the ?7m is upfront with only ?250,000 coming after that so hopefully we are getting ALL of the ?7m in one go. Still takes the p*** that players get a huge percentage when theyre leaving for a more lucrative salary anyway. That's one rule that really has to be changed. I think its fair to say that in the real world if other employers paid up your contract when u decided to leave and join someone else that there'd be un uproar about it. Surely that's something that needs to be stopped. Pisses me off even more because he signed an extension to his contract at the start f the season to show his commitment and all its now done is meant we've probably had to pay out more to pay his contract up. Stupid rules. Stupid stupid rules.
