I find it strange that in his interview he suggested that a couple of incomming transfers were possible within the next couple of days but there has not been a sign of any "insider" knowledge from our journalistic twitter friend or our BBS sources! Does this mean that the leak has finaly been plugged!
Signing experienced players that have previously played at a higher level or equivalent from here or abroad. I will believe it when I see it.
Just for fun, if the qualities they are looking for is an experienced Championship level player (in terms of games played but still young (say max 24) then how many actually fit the bill? Here's a few names and just for the avoidance of doubt I haven't heard any rumours! Matty Cash from Forest. Fits both criteria but would probably cost £3/4m Joe Williams who we already know about. Is still at Everton and doesn't appear to be any nearer making first team appearances. Ben Pearson - still only 24 and with almost 150 appearances. But would cost £3m? Ryan Manning from QPR. Was at Rotherham last season I think. Has played 60+ championship games and much more affordable. On the basis that they loaned him out last season may not be in the frame at QPR but if that's the case would he improve us? Sam Field - WBA. Were we linked with him a couple of years ago? Fits on age but less than 30 championship appearances. Harrison Reed - Southampton. Age 24 and has 70+ appearances on loan for Norwich and Blackburn. He was highly rated at both. There's been speculation that he will leave Southampton this summer and various rumours that Norwich, Burnley and Blackburn were interested but nothing's happened so far. Fee might be within our budget too. Anyone think of any others?
