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.

I see a few people have mentioned Robins was at Pride Park for Derby Wigan on Saturday (not sure how true that is). Seen people mention Cashin from Derby but Charlie Hughes at centre back from Wigan looks a fantastic prospect. Possibly a right footer though.

Godden has never been a player whose game has been based on his pace. Not sure I can recall one goal where his pace has got him away from a last man. Still got plenty to offer and will get 10+ goals this season.

Nixon originally broke the story of Godden signing for us so suspect he has a decent relationship with Godden's agent.

We were previously linked with Rak Sakyi from Palace (who was on loan at Charlton last year). Ipswich and Leicester been heavily linked in recent weeks. Apparently Palace are about to sanction a loan deal somewhere.

Thought he was very good. Aggressive and on the front foot. Strong qualities in a centre back

Noticed he was on the bench for QPR on Saturday.

Pete O'Rourke saying Leeds are in for Hamer. Mind you the same page had half the Premier League 'leading the race' for Gyokeres at one point.

Only from Andy Turner's articles as the start of the week
