Rothwell joining Rangers on a permanent deal. Wonder how his wife feels about them moving to Scotland

We didn't know anything about the 2 players who have signed until their first link and 24 hours later they had signed. De Neve said in his interview he was first made aware of our interest 3 months ago so hopefully they have some more signings close

Martin Bain the fella who was Ceo at Sunderland during their relegations is the favourite

They never mentioned the option when Hyam signed either, telegraph say there is a year's option

He is a much better goalkeeper than Pears. Has played in the top flight in Belgium and here.Also been in multiple national team squads. I was a big JDT fan but he wouldn't be have been coaching in the championship or for a small nation like Sweden if his decision making was impeccable

Luton will want more than a million for Kaminski so it won't be happening. When did we last pay more than £1 million on a signing?The window we signed Hyam and Szmodic 3 summers ago

He will have been on better money here than league one clubs would be willing to pay,so he probably would have seen out the extra year even if loaned to a league 1 or 2 club with us subsidising his wage. He was offered a new deal at Spurs and had both Mourinho and ledley king talking him up at the time He would have been on 10k a week here I reckon

As would anyone but its far less likely us being successful by signing loads of cheap foreigners rather than paying the going rate for proven championship players If it was easy to be successful signing players from abroad for under a million then everyone would be doing it

I'm not against signing players from abroad if they are coming into a squad with a core of championship experience. We lose the players that have only a year left plus Batth Weimann and Dolan and replace them with cheap foreign buys then it is extremely worrying.

He is their boss, he will be dictating what markets the scouts are looking at. Stop defending everything the club does. IF we lose Batth,Brittain and Travis and they are replaced by cheap foreign signings with no championship experience coming in then it will be inevitable that we will be down towards the bottom of the table

Gestede will be dictating where the scouts are looking, and the majority of the links are foreign players, we need to be looking at domestic players aswell and I don't just mean loaning kids from prem academy's

Might not be a glamorous name but It's a smart and solid first signing.10 goals and 3 assists in 36 games for a relegated side. Sky saying he had a release clause that kicked in when Plymouth dropped to league one. I wouldn't have said no to having him here at the price they paid for him.Wrexham will have more ambitious targets,their owners won't want to be treading water in the championship and they will have genuine ambitions of getting into the Premier league, unlike ours

Only £700 grand according to reports ,we probably didn't even consider him.Gestede too busy scouring Europe for players that will cost under half a million

Wrexham have started their summer spending signing Ryan Hardie from Plymouth for an undisclosed fee

Batth to Derby sounds like it could happen don't believe Travis will end up there though and definitely not Dolan

Dolan won't sign for them.And do they have the money to pay a transfer fee and a wage increase for Travis.Without investment I doubt it

Not really no.Szmodic refused to play in pre season, he took part when the league kicked off again.

Or nobody else wants him. We got Gueye and Ohashi done quickly last summer from first being linked in the media to them putting pen to paper

Mowbray had minimal input and say on the transfers at Sunderland. He said as much in a few interviews he has done since leaving, also pressured to give certain players minutes

Sorba Thomas signed a 3 year deal with Stoke

Jdt was asked about links with the Boro job at the sweden presser and he didn't rule it out. Into 4/1 in some bookies

Wrexham will double or treble his wages. We have left it too late to negotiate new deals. Fully expect the quartet of Tronstad, Brittain, Travis and Hyam to be sold. To be replaced by loans or older players on 1 year contracts. Venkys out

Back when we complained about it we believed part of transfer funds received would be put back into recruitment. Gestede has made it clear that the budget is set and it doesn't go up when we sell a player.Id rather these players stayed for the season and leave on a free if the money received for them just means the owners send less over

Yeah but those clubs don't start moaning about not having any money and say they can't spend in the transfer market We leave it to late to start negotiating new contracts no doubt about it,if Dolan had been offered more money with 2 years left on his deal then he would have signed. Travis, Brittain ,Hyam and Tronstad should have been made contract offers last summer and if we couldn't get deals done then look to sell them with 2 years left and use the money on replacements like normal run clubs do

Gestede already said in those podcasts that a left sided centre back would be targeted. We need a centre back
