Most of the attention is rightly on new signings, but I wonder if there will be any moves to offload players between now and 5pm? We signed 6 players (I think) in January, and it seems quite likely that there are one or two more to come. We have let go of Wilson, Cowie and Rory (has he gone yet?) but I was just wondering what the likelihood is of others being moved on to make way? If funds allow, Butcher will probably want to have as many players available to him as possible, but there must be some players who see their first team opportunities diminish as all the new faces arrive, and may want a move or a loan.

With all of Brewster's tactical buggering about it was always difficult to assess what our best line-up was. Now with all these new players, I have absolutely no idea!

Ahem.

Butcher looked delighted at the end. Even though he is just a puppet for IHE.

We are wrong to mock Livi's woes, they are going to have the last laugh, apparently. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ton/7863264.stm

Just beeds a bit of modification to become "Butcher out". We are 5 points adrift - things were never that bad under Brewster!

His career's been heading steadily south since he left us.

Think you need to find a better source then!

Looking like a bit of a one horse race now.

on football manager it said he was on 900 a week.. I stand corrected

We are Odhiambo's 5th club. In his career he has made a total of 9 appearances and has never scored a goal. Butcher obviously see something in him.

With Cowie signing a PCA with Watford, I was trying to think of which other players have moved directly from ICT to England. The only other I can think of was Allan Smart (sold to Preston). Are there others? Incidentally, Smart recently left his 17th club. He had been in the very unusual situtation of being both Head of Youth Development for Southport and player/Asst Mgr at Burscough - at the same time, in the same league!

I'd guess he's on ?1,000 - ?1,200 basic?

Agreed he is extremely fit, can tear up and down the pitch all day when he's up for it.

It's amazing that Hamilton arranged a completely invalid loan deal. Don't clubs know the rules?

I suppose one of the reasons Butcher has joined us is that by the end of 2009 there's a fair chance that Burley and he won't have their Scotland jobs.

With Butcher having set out his stall in public, and also needing to assert his authority on the team, I would guess that he won't play PCA players unless there's no real alternative.

Nah, its Caldwell. But there's also a hint of Venegoor in there.

Are you Watford fans aware that Cowie won't be the first former ICT player to play for you? Clue - scored a winner against Chelsea for you.

Has it crossed anyone's mind that Cowie held Brewster in such high regard that he is only leaving ICT because Brew has gone? Didn't think so!

It's assumed by the OF that whatever is good for them is automatically good for Scottish football.

Was it 11-10 in the end? I seem to recall a Caley v Clach cup tie in the early 80s that went further than that.

Thread closed, gone way off track. No moaning about it please!

What, does he not visit your site?
