At least, if anything, it shows the level of player we're after - and that's only positive.

the offer was rumoured to be less than 1m

This is what i don't get though - I see lots of people saying they're financially on the brink, then other articles say that that new Thai owner is going to give Mackay a 20mill transfer kitty! They're def. one of the more intriguing of teams for next year....

Don't rate him, didn't pull up any trees for Rotherham this season and was often an unused sub.

Tim Sparv has turned into an excellent player, would have liked to see him get a chance at Saints. Matt Mills....? If redkrap had actually given him a chance we'd probably have had him for a bit longer. Captain material.

I think Barnsley and Watford will really struggle, losing their best players and having new managers at the helm (with no money). P'Boro will struggle too if they don't show a little more ambition with their targets - Danny green from daggers, Gleeson from MK Dons....they're average L1 players, so it doesn't look like they've learnt from last time.

It's a very difficult call anyone's finishing positions at the mo. At this stage last season I think many people had M'Boro down for a top 2 finish (top 6 at worst). They'd just spent £3m on Kris Boyd, 2.5m on Kevin Thompson....2 top class rangers players, and they also had a very handy manager at the helm in WGS. But it didn't work and they spent most of the season in the bottom half of the league. The same could very much happen with WHU this year, or even Brum - who knows - but you'll also get your surprise package, like Norwich were last year. It's such an intriguing league, probably one of the closet fought and most interesting in world football. I've never seen it as strong as it is at the moment (In terms of clubs and the quality of players)

For god sake, what are they on.

3-0 hth.

Keep him where he is and let him roam, he can then come in centre and influence situations too.

Very stupid idea. It'll make all games slower and much duller, guaranteed.

I think this deal was over a long time ago tbh.

I am 99.999% sure that if he had the choice, Surman would have stayed. Gobern wasn't ever going to be good enough for us, at least it's freed up some squad space to sign a new CM now.

Benni McCarthy? CHDAJFU?

Yep...this is why I don't get peoples panic, we don't have to do major surgery. We just need 3 or 4 top top quality players to improve our level, failure to get them isn't going to be a disaster, but we won't be at the top end like we'd all love us to be. People moaning about ''the state of our squad'' - take a look at the skates, they look set to be down to 7 players. Now that's a serious case of rebuilding and they've only signed 1 so far.

I'd say Adam and Chambo would walk into 90% of championship teams. We're very lucky to have been promoted with players of that level, they're clearly more than good enough for this league.

Fantastic post, make it a sticky!

We will be no where near the relegation zone next season.

I've had it with this club, this, coupled with them not letting me know what players they want to sign has finished me off.

You won't get that anymore though, so anyone expecting bits of news to leak out is going to be disapointed. We've seen it in the last 2 transfer windows, it's players we've not even specualted about that you hear about maybe 1 or 2 hours before it's on the OS - up until then it's done as it should be. TBF Adkins and co have been on holiday, he's back now working in the BG....but managers don't interview at this sort of time, I can gaurentee that if they did one of the questions would be ''are you close to signing anyone?'' - and the response would be that there are are irons in the fire and we'll know when there is something to know..etc...

Absolute rubbish, no offence.

Some of their fans are disappointed with the signing. Just how out of touch are those morons? They're lucky they can sign anyone, but they still seem to expect the best.

No disrespect, but it's great to actually see a league table without the likes of Dagenham and Redbridge, Yeovil, Walsall, Oldham, Tranmere etc....

Nothing to read into there.
