  - A benefactor ? (NCFC) - Cannydc, Dec 16, 12:11:38

        true, but it seems ridiculous to me that we find a good player (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 16, 12:43:45
        
        The asking price isn't reasonable. (NCFC) - Jono, Dec 16, 12:48:30

        but until January, we can't find out what has been thrashed out behind closed doors (NCFC) - pants, Dec 16, 12:53:06

      - Yes... (NCFC) - Jono, Dec 16, 12:19:11
        
        Well as they said themsleves you can't make a profit in the championship. (n/m) (NCFC) - Andyjzr, Dec 16, 12:21:10
        
        However you can in the prem, our chance of getting there are 0 without invesment. (n/m) (NCFC) - Andyjzr, Dec 16, 12:25:10
