Championship club signings to date.....

[Monsieur Wabee]

Millwall are doing good business

This.

 

[Foolg]

Agree with Munkfish that Blackpool could also struggle. .

They've lost a number of players, Grandin, Baptiste, Crainey, Taylor Fletcher etc etc, and replaced them (hardly) with what look like very low budget signings. If they sell Ince the chairman seemingly will re-invest little (he banked most of the Premier League money to his wife I believe), and they'll find it hard to attract anyone of similar quality to replace him.

Oh, and add to that the fact that Paul Ince is an absolute DINOSAUR of a football manager.

I've got them at 4/1 to be relegated in a little accumulator for fun.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Dicker has been training with Millwall and be a decent signing for them.

 

[Jim D]

Reading have signed Drenthe!! If they can keep him interested he will destroy championship fullbacks.
It appears this is the preseason where FFP really starts to have a bearing on transfers.

It shows the concerns that other teams have over FFP that most of the Championship sides have released more than they've taken in. I see that M'boro have released Scott McDonald (also gone to Millwall) because of his wages.

1. If you thought last season was freakishly even then prepare yourself for more of the same.

2. Looks like there's still loads of business to be done for the "top" sides - QPR, Wigan, Reading, us and Leicester have all shed big numbers and most of these have 3 or 4 first team spots still to fill.

3. Millwall - where did THAT come from?

QPR have had a bid accepted for Gary Hooper. Gulp.

 

[BensGrandad]

QPR have had a bid accepted for Gary Hooper. Gulp.

According to BBC Sport he is discussing terms which shouldnt be a problem but would make a change from Harry signing Peter Crouch.

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

QPR have had a bid accepted for Gary Hooper. Gulp.

That'll be £10m of their parachute payments gone.

 

[Simster]

QPR have had a bid accepted for Gary Hooper. Gulp.

Not done yet though. Norwich will probably gazump QPR. Good news.

[gripper stebson]

Blackpool sign Michael Chopra.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Do Norwich do much scouting or simply wait until a team bids for a good player and outbid them, OR steal Brighton players (they clearly ONLY scout us)

 

[Munkfish]

If he goes to Norwich, does this open up the oppotunity of us getting Becchio off them? I would love to see him here back up/alternitive to Ulloa.

 

[albionite]

A few rumours about that forest have put a bid in for Austin. If true doesn't look like they care about ffp

 

[Tooting Gull]

So Hooper's debut could be at the Amex?

Be a lot more interest nationally in that game than there would have been.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Therry Racon, Di Santo and Bradley Wright-Phillips anyone?!

Wright Phillips signed for New York Red Bulls. Racon and Di Santo are shit.

 

[BensGrandad]

BBC Sport says Hooper having a medical this afternoon at Norwich. So Harry will have to revert to his usual plan and sign Crouch again..

 

[One Love]

If anyone signed Crouch for the Championship it would in my opinion guarantee promotion for them.

He would tear up this league.

 

[DanielT]

Watford getting a lot in. 14 so far. Mostly for free from either udinese or granada

 

[blueandwhitestripes]

Nottingham Forest sign striker Jamie Mackie from QPR in three-year deal #SSN

Don't know the price but potentially good signing IMO

 

[El Turi]

Nottingham Forest seem to have spent shed loads this summer. Not sure how that fits in with FFP as they made a £12 million loss in the last set of accounts that were released and aren't in receipt of parachute payments.
