Shows how well we did to get as much as £750,000 for Ellis, mind you it probably helped that Darrell's best mate was in charge of Ipswich at the time. Ipswich obviously valued him at that amount. Would you pay three times too much for a car just because you mate was selling it? You’d think if such a logic were to exist, it would work the other way and they’d get him for less due to the friendship of the two managers. Mates rate and all that.

I said at the time I doubt he’ll make it in the championship and is an average league 1 forward and I stand by that. We miss him because the strikers we’ve got aren’t as good and he was an important personality in the dressing room. But worth nearly a million ? No way. Championship standard ? Maybe he will make it but I doubt it , hope he does though because he’s a nice lad.

Seems the three that left for championship football have struggled and all three suffered injuries keeping them out.. I really wanted to see how bodin would perform in the championship as he stood out in league one. Taylor with regular game time could do a good job as he’s proved when coming off the bench and sh**ty fans rate him Harrison would need to be with a club that would be mid table for 3-4 seasons to learn his trade as there’s a lot of improvements to be made to his overall game... Just funny that we made a decent wedge off Ellis and what should have been our 2 cash cows turned into two bargain basket deals

Who is going to pay his Championship wages? Ipswich *might* pay the bulk of it if they needed him to play and get fit, but it seems he is out of favour and they probably just want him off the books. The only way it's going to work is if they can come to an arrangement where they give him some cash up front and tear his contract up. I doubt they are going to do that now, probably at the end of the season once they re-assess what division they are in. If they get relegated (as seems likely) they will probably keep him anyway as league one is more his level.

I know he had a relatively bad injury a few months back, not sure if he's still out with that one, or a new one?

I liken ellis to christian doidge in that they had to take the chance to have a crack at the championship but they both ended up at very poor teams who create very little. All you end up doing is chasing after opposing defenders as your inferior team try to get some points on the board.

Just funny that we made a decent wedge off Ellis and what should have been our 2 cash cows turned into two bargain basket deals The only reason the Sh1t fans rate Taylor is because they stole the little rat off us. Any other player who scored so few goals would have been run out of the place ages ago. I see they've given him a contract extension. Not because he's any good but because the Duke can't be seen to lose face, so they'd rather pay the little Turd £15k per week than admit he's not good enough. I hope he never gets a start for them and Lansdown is left paying him a fortune for the next 2 years. He does seem to be rather injury prone since he left us.
