Good luck to Ellis! Good time for him to try and kick on at a higher level. Never been quite convinced he's a great footballer - good, but we've replaced better. We have replaced better. There is no doubt about that. The problem is, we now have to get a replacement in quickly. Let's not forget that Ellis not only scored plenty last season, but he cleared many set pieces from our penalty area. Many more than our central defenders managed to.

Absolutely gutted. Ellis knuckled down under DC, and he deserves a chance at a higher level.

I meant we don't have 3 from last season's squad. Yes we have signed one. But we need another 2 minimum and are running out of time. Even if we sign one tomorrow before we leave, they will have less than 2 weeks to get ready. Has Telford signed for Stoke yet? If not, he could still be an option.

Ellis deserves the chance at a pop at the championship and good luck to him. We are always going to be a selling club and money talks. Hopefully the fee will give us the chance to bring in some fresh faces which we may not have done before Ellis left. Fingers crossed

What is your point? It's not a lack of ambition from DC. Money talks and other clubs can offer Ellis something we can't at the current time. Jheeze imagine saying DC has a lack of ambition. Has DC done something to you in your personal life to f**k you off? Attack the post not the poster and all, sorry but you really are a miserable sod.

Surely D.C. must have someone lined up ? Don't count on it. My expectation is another round of 'we could not get our targets' excuses and if we are lucky another Blissett. I am sure they were holding out on Ellis's move to be announced at the same time as the signing of a new left back. Well, left backs and midfield defensive players stop you losing games, not win them. If we could redirect some of this cash we are spending on back room staff we could maybe get something that might go towards making up some of the lost ground from last season. I see nothing that makes me feel we are more likely to put three points on the board so far and, in fact, the loss of Gaffney and Harrison takes away what little punch we have. Reilly may turn out to be decent striker but he is comparable, and I am happy to be corrected, to be of a more similar stature to Nichols than the departing duo. We need two strong strikers with physical presence to give us any chance this coming season. Good luck Ellis, you have done us proud and you deserve your chance, we are definitely poorer and weaker without you.

Thank you for everything, Ellis. Without that Wembley goal we could still be stuck in non-league. Who knows. At times you carried the team on your shoulders last season and showed us signs of the player you could be. Better to come, I suspect. Also, a massive part of a very positive dressing room. We’re going to miss you big time, and also you left the club at a time where we could get a big fee, which is much appreciated. You can walk out the club with your chest out and your head held high, having proved so many doubters wrong. Go get ‘em in the Championship! UTG!

Fee is said to be 1.6 million plus add-ons.
DC said in his interview yesterday that he is "99% sure" that he'll have a new signing in tomorrow (Monday) - so I guess we'll have one in, one out. Even then, the player who it's thought to be is a defender (Holmes-Dennis).
We'll need another two strikers in!
