How can I get a refund for my 500 Armenian flags by the way? Thanks for nothing Saint_Lambden

If we don't then it signals a lack of ambition IMO. Donnarumma has also been there for us all window, but nope, we sit there with our hands in our pockets. Absolute shambles.

Leo signing - £8m ish Charlie and Bree out on loan deals to finish their time with us. Rumours still circulating around Edwards, but unlikely to happen. That will be it I think. Edozie is just silent which is odd.

Hmm, football isn't all about ''get it in the mixer'' ''Wes Morgan heads it'' type players anymore. THB is one of the best CB's at this level, proven with ourselves and Burnley. He's our starter. I don't agree with Jack staying around, but he signed a new contract and the club have backed that one - so he's not going anywhere. Ronnie Edwards was QPR's player of the season at CB last season, he's more than good enough for us. Wood is wood, a bit dumb, but has some physical attributes that a lot of CB's at this level don't have.

I guess sky can't do maths. We've spent around £40m, soon to be 45-46m.

Don't see how we can tbh, unless we do a weird thing and terminate Long's loan. We couldn't accommodate 4 senior GK's.

Aribo will end up in Turkey during September IMO.

Edit - Hopper beat me to it!

Pretty much done:

Believe it or not, but Derby fans are absolutely stoked at their window. They say they've had the best window in the football league. They've signed BBD though, so they may be confused.

I don't understand why people are expecting a CB? and to say a partner for wood? WTF? We have Stephens, THB, Quarshie, Ronnie Edwards, Wood as CB's. There is absolutely no possibility that a CB is even on our radar with those options. In fact we'd probably be open to losing 1.

It was probably based on us losing one of Downes/Smallbone, but neither look to be off so nothing will happen there.

The most obvious transfer in history!

They're signing Charlie Cresswell, he was their number 1 choice.

As long as he's not a regular starter, which he won't be now, Smallbone would add some depth to our midfield. If he's happy being a squad player with minimal mins then that's fine. It would make our CM area look fairly well stocked tbf. He has been injured/still is injured, so he's not being kept away from the team in the same way Edozie and Aribo are. Would be a fairly easy re-integration should no move materialise.

Leicester are loaning El Khanouuss to Stutgart. No idea where this leaves them as he's going there on a loan, not sure if they can spend.

That Damion Downs rumour is nonsense, he's not leaving. Never heard such a daft rumour in my life! THB - too late. The rest, yep maybe. I think Aribo will still be here, but will end up in Turkey sometime in Sept.

I don't speak Turkish FFS

Out of interest, what's his thought on Jelert?

We needed it, the squad was bloated with trash. Let's hope we don't fall foul to the 'gel' process now!

A good read up if anyone is interested - this is from before he moved to Galatasaray. Elias Jelert Scout Report At FC Copenhagen 2023/2024

He can play left, right (he can make messi look shite) and also CM. He's played lots of games at left back though, so for me he's now our starting LB without question. He's got a better level than most of our squad.

When you look at his pedigree, Champions league last season, Europa league with Copenhagen, U21's in the summer and Danish senior prior to that - he has no right being in the Championship. Based on that alone, it's a ridiculous addition. Sounds like he's a right back or left back, but also offers the versatility to slot into CM - so maybe we have our CM too?

Fairly sure it's Jelert, as Blackmore said he was doing his medical/was at the club y/day.
