Bausor has gone out on loan. Only for a month though, so I guess it is to get first team football so he's more ready and prepared if needed when he comes back. Bit of a gamble running with only 2 for that month, but can't think of another logical reason we'd send him out for only one month and leave ourselves short, so doubt anyone else comes in, unless it's an emergency loan if we get another injury or a red card.

Perfect for us then.

Chris Wilder has just said in his post match interview on sky that they are making no more permanent buys this window. Loans only.

Exactly, whether it's Adebayo or whoever, maybe someone not even proven at lower level, we just need to take a gamble on someone to give us choices throughout the season. For every Akinbiyi or Ayew out there, there is also a Jamie Vardy or Matty Fryatt, we might strike lucky, but you can't strike lucky with nobody.

A few days ago before it went through it was reported on sky as £42m made up of 40 + 2 in add ons, so now it's confirmed as £45m I would assume it's 40 + 5.

Or Francis Benali.

Official now.

Ben Mee has retired.

Efl deadline for retained lists is today so we should see some sort of announcement from the club soon. Although we'll probably get a fine or points deduction for not doing this on time knowing our lot.

Jay Rodriguez released from Wrexham. Never been prolific I know, but surely could do a job in league one, if only as an experienced squad player coming off the bench, with another new forward starting and a youngster alongside Rodriguez on the bench.

He was great in Les Miserables though.

I know it's common sense that all the loan players will leave, all the out on loan players will return, and given relegation, all the out of contract players will be allowed to move on ... but does anyone know when the official statement from the club regards retained and released player lists will be?

All the broadcasters & journalists making reference that we have been relegated to the third tier 10 years after winning the Premier League. Well Derby County managed it in 9 after winning the old First Division in 74/75. Small wins.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him staying and playing as a left winger next season after selling Mavididi, which wouldn't be horrific if it meant Joseph at RB and Aluko at LB.
