    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    It's important that players (and especially goalkeepers) get fist team football to aid their development. A season out on loan and as first choice keeper could do wonders for Walton - he would come back a much better player than he is now.

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Ankergren would be fine as a very short stop gap either off the bench or covering for a match, but wouldn't feel comfortable with Casper filling in for several matches. There's several good keepers around who are available on free's (Al Habsi, Fulop, Bunn) who could come in, rather have one of...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Given that we're showing keen interest in other wingers now, would be interesting to know if / where James McClean appeared on the list of potential targets. He has just gone to West Brom for £1.5m, so a move for him is now out of the question but if he was a 'potential target' could be one of...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    2m seems a lot for McCleary.... would rather the club went after someone like Jimmy Kébé who's available on a free and the majority of that 2m was funneled towards sorting the striker situation out.

    Leicester City: Three players sacked following racist sex tape

    All were on loan at league 2 clubs (apart from Pearson who was at Wrexham in conference) last season and only made a handful of appearances each. Given the bad press and the amount of players being released, they may well struggle to find another club.

    Leicester City: Three players sacked following racist sex tape

    Three players are Tom Hopper, James Pearson and Adam Smith

    Rumour

    None of those unfortunately, instead he's a defensive midfielder.

    Retained and released list PL

    Nah, think we can safely rule out him moving to Celtic. He has his eyes on bigger things which means we can also rule out him playing in the championship... http://www.insidefutbol.com/2015/06/08/john-guidetti-blasts-celtic-boss-ronny-deila-said-different-things-to-me-than-in-public/213345/

    Retained and released list PL

    Guiddetti could be lethal at Championship level and as he scored 23 goals in 20 appearances for Feyenoord shows he knows where the net is, but yeah his attitude def needs sorting. There's a few on that list who could be good additions, players like Ross Wallace, Chris Herd, Maynor Figueroa...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Transfer (and the wages) budget will only stretch so far. Makes sense to concentrate on strengthening the areas that definitely need it first ie goal scoring striker, left back and a creative midfielder first. Not everyone is a fan of Stockdale but he's not a bad keeper, especially when...

    Bent released by Villa... [...and signs for Derby]

    Never expected Bent to come down and play for BHAFC again, with the way he left and the location always thought that Derby were way ahead in the queue unless a lower Premiership club showed firm interest. TBH I'm more disappointed that we didn't get Alex Pearce, him and Dunk would have made a...

    Hughton FINALLY back from holiday

    Though Hughton was on holiday, he was probably in contact with Paul Winstanley and maybe Jamie Johnson on a near daily basis - the backroom staff will play the major role in any transfers that happen in the coming weeks. Factor in the fact that other managers were also on holiday for the same...

    Brad Jones

    Sorenson's decided to retire from playing, Jääskeläinen is 40 so would expect him to follow suit very, very soon.

    Brad Jones

    Definitely not - Brad Jones (like Richard Wright) is one of those players who has made the most of being 'homegrown'. Apparently BJ is on £25k a week at Liverpool at mo -even if he took a small pay cut it's more than you should spend on a back up goalie, especially when you look at who's also...

    Alireza Jahanbakhsh 1.4million

    :ffsparr: It's important that the forwards get a good supply line in, if chances aren't created for them they cannot score. Also isn't it healthy that the club is looking at more than one position at a time? With the loan-in signings that have returned to their parent clubs we are down in...

    Luke Garbutt - Everton left-back

    Swansea have a very good left back currently in Neil Taylor, if he heads there Garbutt may have a similar problem to what he has at Everton currently -a bit part player who will play the odd cup game. What Albion can offer him is first team football, the value of that shouldn't be underwritten...

    Nathan Jones- was it a mistake not giving him the manager's role?

    What we needed after Hyypia was a pair of experienced and safe hands, someone who has managed before in the division, could maintain the championship status in the short term and longer term knows how to build a team to get promotion. You can not take away from what Jones did with his 2 games in...

    Stoke players released on frees

    Wilkinson's always looked solid and dependable whenever I've seen him play, so will probably be a few Championship clubs making enquiries. Probably slightly older than most would like for a right back. Clubs seemingly been linked with Palacios every transfer window for the past couple of...

    Ben Pringle

    Two footed + mid twenties + Championship experience + available on a free means he ticks a lot of the 'right boxes' that you'd expect the club would want. Stats through from last season tell a slightly different story, Pringle scored 3 goals and made 7 assists in 40 league appearances (3250...

    Niki Mäenpää signs a 2 year deal

    Nope, nothing currently in place for Bunn at the moment. Don't think Stockdale being pushed is necessary a bad thing, as competition can spur on a player to perform better.
