I hardly see it as a kick in the teeth, I think you'll find that Kilkenny is just another football mercenary who will have been offered more money over 3 years at Bristol City than Leeds were prepared to offer over 2 years, he's just the same as the majority of modern day footballers.

As far as ambition goes in this instance, you'd have to question the player who would rather play every other week at home in front of 14k than 28k and in front of away crowds of less than 1k or upto 6k rather than the club. Like the majority of the current squad, Kilkenny might get to play at a higher level than he currently does with Leeds but I doubt he will play for a bigger club than Leeds.

Not a big waste in terms of what he offers when playing too many sideways passes, moaning at team-mates when he passes to the opposition and daren't tackle.

Howson is a decent player, but is surrounded by dross, hence at times he doesn't look as good as he is. He is a strong tackler, good passer, has good vision and has a good engine. He also has a lot of passion for the club, which is an underrated aspect these days.

He would hold his own in the Prem, but isn't about to bother the England selectors, hence the choice of word, "decent".

With only half an hour left to the transfer deadline it's looking (touch wood) like Snodgrass is staying...good job or we might be looking at a relegation fight

I think we're looking at a relegation fight with or without him. Trust me if a decent enough bid had come in for Snodgrass he'd have gone but I don't think anyone tried to buy him. Teams that were linked to him like Stoke and Fulham have been too busy trying to bring better players in. Its ok saying these players who couldn't get a look in last season are like new signings but others teams will have players like that but will have strengthened there teams bringing in new signings too!

Relegation fight? Not a chance, we've got a good nucleus of a side that can compete in the division, Gradel isn't really that much of a loss as I think Nunez can come in and do a similar job.

We've played some great stuff this year and as long as we stick to that and Grayson doesn't bottle it too soon, we should be in for a decent year.

Keep the faith MOT.

I think if I had £20 burning a hole in my pocket I would sooner go for a bet on relegation than top six TBH.
What are the odds on both of these ?
