And that is why many people here talks about proven Championship players or the lack of it.. He must be good, he is a proven Championship players. That is not important. What is important is are they going to be proven. And that is the big ???. We don't know with the players that is veiing brought in.

Two big hamstring injuries in the last couple of years...

He will have offers, but not as good as he would have hoped. 100% or he would have signed a club by now. Missed two-three weeks of pre-season with a club.

Played 39 games last season.... 6 years younger than Batth. I prefer the guy from Hull.

Many of those links is just agent/clubtalk. Those who have signed was linked just a day/same day as signed. Some agent just throws their clients name out to hope off a better deal or another club throwing in a bid. Or a sellingclub hoping for a biddingwar. Many players have different agents for different areas. Some work with English club, some with other countries.

Very surprised that Dolan hasn't signed for a club yet. Missing out on a lot of pre-season.

If a player/agent thinks they can get a better offer elsewhere they will alert other clubs. No questions about it.

Ryan Alebiosu from Kortrijk. English, Right back. Hmmm. Cover or Replace?

No. Nothing in the Norwegian press other than the stuff from the Netherlands yesterday. No news today.

Is he? Eustace win % 43, VI win % 49. Managed 100 matches more. Give him his season and we will see how he does. To be fair this transferwindow can be shite or it can be the best we've had (i don't hold my breath). 50 days left of the window. We all want a better side going in to the season than the team who finished last season.

I would not classify Mannsverk as a defensive midfielder. More box to box. More Tronstad than Travis imo.

A player like Dolan can take a lot of money in sign on fee. My guess is between £1-2mill

I recon he wants minimum 4 year deal. That is £4mill as a base. Scoring, assist, position in League etc is extra. Plus sign on fee and agent fee. That is a minimum of £5-6 mill for a player who can be good in short spells in Championship.

It is always better to read some rumors a so called journalist comes up with than the conspiracy mambo jambo some of the members here comes up with.

Sivert Mannsverk isn't wanted in Ajax anymore. On his way to England, to an unnamed club. How did he do in Cardiff? Iam a Norwegian. Want more Norwegians to the club. I know his value on transfermarkt is too high for us. But I can hope.

A year too late. He was available last summer for under £1m. Good first season in Scotland and in the Euros. Even their chairman has said he's not for sale. They can see him increasing in value the upcoming season.

Legia is in serious money problems. They need the cash they can get. They are even in more problems than Blackburn. Selling a player cheaper than they want to is least of their problems.

Poku from Peterborough maybe as good as Dolan. Free agent. Likely going to Rangers, but there are players to be found. £1m for sign-on fee and wages... You can find them, but it aint an easy task to get them to sign for this lot.

Callum and Cantwell in many photos though.

If Blackburn is playing a 3-5-2 or a 4-3-3 you need at least 5, maybe 6. Not some players that can play midfield and 3 other positions. You have to have specialists.

Most managers can be adaptive and play the style of football the way their team is set up.

If some in-job managers are linked they will get all kind of problems. Questions from media etc. If they are interested or not. Nobody gains anything if they are being linked with a job. The managers and clubs will not have their name in the media.

Edmund Baidoo not in the squad for Sogndal in Norwegian 2. tier today. In negotiations with a club. Dont know the club, but really hope Blackburn is interested.

I refuse to think Blackburn as a club had agreed fee with Ipswich. I think it's more an agent or somebody else who said to Ipswich that Blackburn need money, could sell at a discount or something. Ipswich started low ballin and Blackburn refused to sell. Ipswich thought they could get a discount, but Blackburn stood firm. And Ipswich had to act and pay. That is my view on the transfer.

How much would Edmund Baidoo cost? Playing in the Norwegian 2 tier. First professional season. Have goals and assist in his play. Fast paced and a diamond in making. Maybe bigger clubs interested?
