Nixon said in the piece, that Euastace is still hoping to get Ruddy on loan but the club have been looking at alternatives and the Lange is top of the list

26 year old would cost £2 million according to Nixon

Every team in the championship uses the loan market I can near guarantee Hull will fill their quota of loans and they have brought in big money too. You say this every summer about loans .Clubs at this level have to use the loan market, it isn't the same as years ago,clubs weren't hoovering up all the young talent as much as they do now.

I agree We have a right to feel aggrieved that decent money isn't being spent on proven players with the money brought in and likely to be brought in with Szmodic and possibly Travis and others leaving Id say I'm far more positive about our chances staying in the league but that is dependant on the two foreigners showing something and being able to at least hit double figures,and although I don't really want to see McFadzean and Batth playing regularly or together,there are better options than Gamble which was JDTs option The worry is if they do cash in on the likes of Travis and Hyam ,and when Szmodic leaves they will be replaced by similar types that we have already signed, when really they we need to be investing money on a bit more proven quality It's sickening the players we have lost since the end of JDTS first season, Kaminski, Phillips, Wharton, all gone to premier league clubs as will Szmodic, Brererton via la liga. You look at the squad now , nobody screams premier league standard .Who the fuck they gonna sell next summer when the bills need paying

I hope we get a goalkeeper before Derby

They gave 3+1 year deals to the two attackers Eustace wants experience, and the club won't give out deals longer than a year to 32+ year olds its been like that for a while

The pacey players will most likely come from the loan market which will become more active in general over the next few weeks, just hope we get better loans than we did last season who can have more of an impact It won't happen but when Szmodic goes we should really be investing a few million on an number 10 or attacker with pedigree in this league

There older players no surprises that they just getting one year ....in recent times players of this age ain't getting multi year deals here The two attackers signed got 3+1 year deals

Weimann is a good signing with the budget we have

How long is Gilsenan out for?

Alaba has played a lot at centre back in recent years Costacurta was another left footed centre back who was excellent ,Walter Samuel wasn't bad either I'm struggling to think of an English left footed centre back that was top level tho

Cheillini and Alaba are 2 off the top of my head

How many games did he start?No good for Garrett getting 20 minutes here and there he needs to go on loan and play regularly. Cm options Travis ,Buckley ,Tronstad and Costello, rumours another one coming in.Garrett be way down the pecking other

That's if it is Bristol Rovers Garrett going too. O'Rourke has been wrong loads this summer Yesterday evening he tweeted that Steve Bruce will be the new Jamaica head coach an hour later McClaren was appointed

I was talking about Garrett

The guy who was on loan In Scotland last year Gent is leaving on a permanent deal to Barnsley

Not alone I agree ,i think he will become a good midfielder at championship level. A loan playing every week is what he needs

If you are playing 2 centre halves I'd agree but if we play 3 at the back then one being left footed does give much better balance.Personally I'd be much more comfortable if a left footed defender was added, wether that be a centre back or left back capable of playing at centre back

Elliot saying no fee has been agreed for Szmodic yet If there truly is some sort of gentleman's agreement allowing him to leave I can't understand why a deal hasn't been done already.

JDT commented that O'Riordan was a player he liked when Rovers where in negotiations and trying to get him signed. I think that one was very much a Broughton signing, young,was rated Preston and other clubs in for him at the time

Campbell is gone from Stoke ,he is a free agent

Yeah but if he was to stay in England we would still get money for him due to his age ,not the same as Hyam and Siggurdson who we would get nothing for

Others could still go yet could they not? Travis linked with Stoke. Hyam and Siggurdson only a year left on their contracts.Will the club look to move them on? We need more in than just a left back , goalkeeper and Right winger regardless of any other outgoings.Is that just your own opinion as to what you feel will happen or is that the noises coming out of the club?

Mcfadz year deal was announced by the club earlier

Would we be bothered? I expect he is on a decent enough wage in comparison to most the rest of the squad.He misses too many games
