Fulham bid £15mill for Dwight Gayle  

Scored 23 goals last season in the league and is still fairly young. Getting £7.5m for Sone Aluko helping to prop it up too. Fairly average price in the current market, sadly.

Yeah he's quality signing at that level but from Newcastle's point of view ... I mean, I've personally never rated him as a PL player.

Surprised at Derby, had them down to do well this year.

 

Leeds I think could come up, there's a proper feel good factor about them at the minute. They looked a well coached side.

 

Alioski and Saiz are doing the absolute business for them, they're great to watch

[The Bear]

Gayle is easily worth £15m in today's market. I'd happily pay it to take him to Wolves. I doubt Nuno will though unfortunately as he wants a good link player and I don't think that's him.

Derby fan banned for Billy Sharp tweet about his deceased son.

Should be banned from attending any game in the country for it, Derby or not.

Just a disgusting and inhumane comment.

He is to get you up because of his goals at that level. Could be the difference between going up and staying down.

 

But from a Newcastle perspective it's a decent offer  - he's not good enough at PL level.

[The Bear]

That's the only problem with him. Is it worth spending that sort of money if he's not going to be good enough when you go up? Possibly not, but I'd rather get promoted first and worry about that after. He'd still have decent resale value at Champo level as he does now for Newcastle.

Leeds have signed a Polish striker from Malmö and it looks as if they've gotten hold of Hamburg's Lasogga, as well.

That's impressive.

Redknapp has signed 12 players

I see he's still like an 8 year old playing Football Manager after too many sweets and fizzy drinks. I remember the year he nearly bankrupted Pompey by signing someone (Defoe ?) but then the outgoing player fell asleep at the airport and missed his flight to Man City so they could have been left with both and no incoming fee.

 

I read that Bolton have signed no one. Oh sorry, Bolton have signed Noone ! (My bi-annual deadline day / Noone joke out of the way)

Hull and Derby, two teams I'm not really keen on. Mind you quite like a name like Slutsky! 

[Fox92]

2-0 Derby , Vydra with two

[Super_horns]

Thought the 3rd had been disallowed with the lack of celebration!!

[Fox92]

 Probably because it's Davies and Hull.

[Fox92]

 Game over yet

[Guest Col city fan]

Though I hate to say it, Derby look strong this season. Good manager and quality throughout the side.

[Wymsey]

Genuinely feel Forest will have another season of struggle.

Not sure if want to see Holloway or Warnock compete at near the top this season.

[purpleronnie]

Bruce will be gone after they lose to boro.

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Good winfor us

 

And once lawrence gets a run of games I can see him being an handful,, we actually have a player that can cross, and he has a mean shot + his corners are actually dangerous. 5m quid well spent if we dont ruin his confidence.

 

And Vydra actually looks like a 8m pound forward,, amazing what can happen when the manager actually plays him in his preferred position,, not stuck out on the wing.

 

Nugent is the perfect foil

Leeds still doing the business

Never heard of their manager, only recognise 3 players from their 18 man squad. 

 

But hope they go up, always liked Elland Road and much better having them in the premier league than someone like Watford or Swansea.

[Stadt]

I hope Leeds go up too, they're not a boring club like half of the lower placed prem teams

[Harry96]

Leeds wolves and boro to come up

[Lovejoy]

Leeds look decent. I still fancy Wolves to get the job done, though they only have one proper centre forward which may hinder them. Boro appear to be getting better now, still think they're boring though. 

[The Bear]

Blues record since they sacked Rowett - 5 wins out of 31.

I'd love it if Floppychops took them down.
