I think most people understand the club will need to sell a player every so often, with smithies being the likely one this summer, so that was accepted.
But for peanuts? Leaves a sour taste
Will Lumley or Ingram be good enough over a full season? Both have shown promising signs but time will tell. All for blending youth with experience, but there's a fine line between doing that and going too far in one direction.

not happy about the fee, but i guess we need to sell to bring anyone in (even on a free) and, last time i looked, we're really weak in central defence (face facts - robinson will be gone after 30 june).

They're in the Premier league, can offer more wages and, contrary to the song lyrics, we don't really hate them...I played sunday league football today.
Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.
I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.
We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

Good luck to him, brilliant goalie. I think we’ll struggle is Ingram starts, he’s not that good. I’m hoping for a break through season for Joe Lumley
4 million a little light. I think 6-8 is rightUnder Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes
LES FERDINAND, IT'S TIME TO GO

Originally posted by knocker View PostI've seen every ist team game Lumley has played for us home and away and i have to say not completely convinced. Done well on his loan spells so hopefully he will come good. Ingram. Even more doubts.

It's a fantasy rivalry which doesn't even exist beyond lyrics in a song. The games are not a hotbed of passion and if you walked around Cardiff city centre wearing a QPR shirt on a non match day you'd feel as intimidated as a cat drinking a sourcer of milk in front of a fire.
Honestly, if you think there's a rivalry of any sort you need to speak to some Cardiff fans and judge from their laughter whether it exists or not.
Being an England vs Wales fixture it will always be a bit
more than a visit to Crewe, for example, but to even believe that there is a rivalry is ridiculous...Last edited by OldR; 26-06-2018, 11:24 AM.

The same (in regards to Lumley and Ingram) was said about Tony Roberts whilst we we waiting for Jan Staystill. But Roberts was pretty good as it turned out.
If we need £4m or whatever to bring in a good C/H and a proper striker - then so be it.
We've got a young team with loads of potential - and an ex England manager........ It could be worse.......
Infact, it's been a hell of a lot worse!
