He’s a first-team player. A smart signing if true

Given the spine strength of the squad at gk, cb, midfield and Henry in the hole (it should not be forgotten how good he was once finally played in his best position) there is a real opportunity to sign quality in the forward positions
In the past - rightly given our size - we’ve had to make do with one marquee signing.
But with so many salaries being freed up we might be able to ‘go big’ on two proven forward players
Sure, we need two full backs but they should not be expensive at this level.
We might even be able to free up a bit more cash if Rothwell goes. A talented player but I won’t be weeping if he goes. A succession of managers have failed to get the best out of him and no one really knows his best position. I suspect it is Henry’s so he may be surplus regardless
Can't see Cameron Norman scoring 20+ goals.
And now as the club descends into greater chaos, we lack a first team coach. The Happy Bus might be commandeered for this role, leaving Dave T at the side of the road.
Ledson comfirmed. He's gone
Agreed but unfortunately with only one year left we'd be fortunate to get a lot more. Hopefully we've got a decent sell on with clauses otherwise we're going to miss out on a lot of money.Only 6 figures. They've had our pants down
With Ledson gone and Rothwell probably going as well (though I hope not) we will have lost our two best midfield players. The rebuild is looking more and more massive as time goes on.
How long is left on Hall's contract?
I think Brannigan is, or will be, a better player than Ledson. He's at least as good at tackling and just seems a bit more composed.... And surely his shooting must be better!
As for Rothwell, he does move forward quickly with the ball, but more often than not it doesn't lead anywhere. Again, I think Hall is a better player in this kind of role (both seem a bit injury prone).
I'd like Rothwell to stay, but think we might be able to get a bit more creativity all round in our midfield the coming season.
Looks like this one could be imminent. Loan deal though

I read that and thought the opposite. We are trying and Sheffield Utd want rid, but why would they agree to a loan so early on when they have a few months of potentially trying to sell? If it happens, I think it'll happen late on in the windowLooks like this one could be imminent. Loan deal though

I reckon we may have it as a loan with an option to buy in January/next season. That way it works for all parties.Looks like this one could be imminent. Loan deal though
