Saw them linked with Max Bird as well. Generally I think they have been in quite a good market since Jan. Similar to ourselves in many ways. Got money in the bank from Semenyo being sold in Jan and then Alex Scott.

Was always going to happen that someone would move. Suspect it will be Bristol City as per Nixon's weekend story.

Sometimes I can't quite understand why this isn't the easiest transfer to close out. £2m is a snip for him. If these clubs are interested in him which I suspect they actually are it's not even like you need to negotiate with the selling club. Just activate the clause and get on with it.

Must be from one of their earlier albums this one

Or Junior Brown and Abu Ogogo (who I was convinced would be brilliant for us)

Amazed there hasn't been more people kicking off about this today. I got in the queue just before 12pm and was just in the ground for kickoff. There were thousands of people behind me in the queues who would have missed the start. Not really sure why the queues were so big.

On the face of it £2m for Styles would be excellent business. Only slight question mark would be his fitness. Missed a lot of games last season through injury. Prior to that has played a lot of games though.

I wonder whether as a back up to Sheaf and Eccles we might look at Sam Field from QPR. Seems to recall we were interested in him before we brought Sheaf in. Apparently there is Championship interest in Field according to Darren Witcoop from the Mirror.

The mention of the golf course was the undoubted highlight.

I'm truth the new deal is king of irrelevant. Even the relegated teams like Leicester and Leeds could blow us out of the water in terms of wages. Even if he had signed a new deal then he would have still had his head turned by bigger offers (which most human beings would). We might just have got...

The final line is bang on for me. We might struggle to replace his creativity this season but the sale of Vik and Gus will strengthen us as a club over the next few seasons. Expect us to grow into this season and probably be stronger again the next couple of seasons.

Nature of all Championship clubs. Shows how good we have been in the loan market with Doyle and McNally and sold two players for massive profit. ... Not sure how Dabo is even in that photo though

Completely agree. First time I saw him in that Rangers friendly you could tell he was a really good player. At times been on a different wavelength to the rest of the squad. Last year towards the end the levels he hit were unreal. Amazed we've been able to hold on to him three years.

I still can't understand why that cone was so prominent in the Portugal training videos.

Think Kelly, McFadzean and Godden are all to provide experience and leadership down the spine of the team/squad. The three of them will be invaluable at Ryton as much as in the first XI on matchday.

Archer will cost £15-20m I reckon. Will likely end up at Luton, Leicester or Southampton. Suspect we will try for a permanent LCB. Panzo, Kitching or Cashin. The attacker will be a Premier League loan. Maybe Rak Sakyi.

Bashir Humphreys in talks to go to Swansea on loan. Andy Turner said he didn't think we were in for him. Suspect we want a permanent LCB.

I can't remember such a poor pre-season in terms of fitness. I know we've had pre-season's before where we haven't won a game. Not sure I can remember a season where barely anyone completed 90mins. Seems like most of the squad could do with at least another 90mins before showing any sharpness.

Name been suggested by a few on here... Charlie Patino going on loan to Swansea. Was never really one I was hoping for. Had a pretty underwhelming loan at Blackpool last year.

A lot of clubs really seem to be struggling to get strikers in at the minute. Feel we timed the Gyokeres sale and getting Simms in perfectly. On the face of it we have three pretty decent strikers all under contract now.
