Having taken one unproductive alleged striker off our hands already this season, it seems your boys are back for more: http://www.bradfordcityfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10266~492611,00.html .

Maybe Neil Warnock will be able to get some effort out of Gray, or maybe he'll do better given superior service from a McCall-enhanced midfield, but not many Bradford fans will be sorry to see him go. He's seemed dispirited and disinterested for a long time, although he did have his best game in ages against Crewe last Saturday. I thought at the time that it was because he was being linked with a move to Sunderland, but evidently he preferred to stay in Yorkshire.

Good luck to him - and to us...

We've been quite content with Ashley's performance this season, so we're happy to give another of your cast-offs a try out

Yes, like I was saying, Gray and Ward will never do anything for you...

I should just give up trying to make predictions for this season, shouldn't I?

There is talk that we're taking a look at your young Simon Francis. Is he any good?

Yes. He's not quite the finished product yet - he makes a few mistakes. But he's definitely got potential. With the right environment he could definitely be a for the future.

With Macca coaching the reserves and being groomed for higher things, I'm sure we could offer the perfect environment

Though I've also heard that Newcastle might be interested in Francis, in which case it would be back to the drawing board.

Could you maybe just buy our entire squad and let Bryan Robson start again from scratch?

We could do, though you'd have to remember that our board's favourite price is 'free'
