Wanted on loan by Donny apparently.

Paul Hayward, Richard Williams and Matt Scott (yes, Guardian bias here).

Sheffield rag mentioning that we are "monitoring the situation" of Joe Mattock. Still with West Brom, but spent most of last season at Sheffield United.
If true, could provide much needed cover for Painter, or even challenge him for first place.
