Nah joking,Dublin's alright,it's just his age.Seeing as quite a few don't expect us to pull away in the promotion race this time around i would rather see some younger lads a chance this time round. Thatcher looks set to go to Portsmouth,which is annoying because he's another with a dirt cheap release clause.You'd think the board would have put a decent price on the players,incase we went down.

dont talk to me about release clauses in contracts, luckly since the ziege one we dont do it anymore (not sure about if we get relegated though) but if there is i dont think they would be for a low fee such as what your team has done.

saying that wernt dickov and thatcher both free transfers for you? if so then the low amount in clause would make more sence as at least then they would be guarented some money back on them.

i agree about dublin, although he's a decent player, he's getting on a bit and id prefer to see more teams give youth/ younger/fringe players there chance after relegation or even instead of signing forginers in the premiership, give a chance to the people you have first if that doesnt work out then bring someone in.

i know people will say it'll be to late but with euro championships on, nows the best time to look at the youth players and put them in some friendlies and see how they adapt!
