Lewis O'Brien to Wrexham for £5M. Ridiculous fee for someone who has played less than 100 times since he signed for Forest in 2022. Sounds like the contract offer isn't great for him though and his below his current weekly wage.

Bloomfield has said that he believes he can have a first team impact sooner than later, but the midfield is heavily stacked. He played in our first friendly yesterday and was involved in the build up to the first goal. Other than that, no outstanding moments.

I think it would be aggressive to think you'll get anywhere near £1.5M if it goes to a tribunal. I would say around £400,000? He's only 17, he's never played above L1.

Grand total of £0 profit in 6 months of putting him in the shop window. The fee may rise with achievements to £5m. I still find this terrible business. Wigan get nothing (yet) either.

What sort of compensation are Exeter looking for?

I think I need to update the worst case scenario list after the last week of events... -Mark McGuinness: should in my opinion, be the new captain. Can definitely do a job for a top 10 Championship side. It would need to be a monster offer for us to sell, because we've probably already invested...

Luton are trying to sign Jamal Lewis as a replacement for Alfie Doughty. Lewis has recently left Newcastle after his 5-year contract expired. He terminated his season long loan in Brazil early in November due to injury. Would be surprised to see him come down to the third tier, yet both our...

I can see him flirting between 4-3-3 and 3-5-2, perhaps employing different styles home and away.

I've just taken a run through of our squad as we finish the first week of pre-season. Our first friendly is at Boreham Wood next Saturday. I've done a review of the 'worst case scenario' if our squad gets picked off as I'm expecting in the next 2 months. -Mark McGuinness: should in my opinion...

Daiki Hashioka has also officially signed for Slavia Prague for an undisclosed fee.

I'd be surprised if it was £500,000. Because we can't get a replacement's foot for that much. If there was a relegation clause, it would've been enforced last year. I'd say he'd have been valued at £20M last summer.

Sorry, but "gravy train"? What a load of guff. Jealously isn't a great trait. How much did Gartside piss away under his tenure and then try and make the top 40 teams a closed shop? Bolton were hugely indebted. Yes our PPs wil stop after this season. But we are financially secure, and we'll...

I geniunely hope he does well. I don't remember another occasion though that the sacking club has managed to bag a compensation fee 6 months after doing so. But I'm at a loss as to how Middlesbrough have gone for him. For 12 months, he was sensational. I did wonder if he'd be in the running...

Why wouldn't we get a fee for Hashioka? He's under contract and Luton are typically quite stingy when it comes to transfers out in recent years. I'd hope we'd get around £1M for him. He's joining an Europa League side and he's a Japanese international.

Not sure how you'll define "spending big". This is my prediction / guesses in terms of where we'll be at, admittedly still 5.5 weeks before the season start: -Luton will bring in around £45M in TV money this season. -Our budget for the season will be around £30M, with around half on wages and...

Yesterday was the first day of pre-season training for Luton. Very few pictures coming out from the club which I felt pretty unusual of only a handful of players arriving. Nothing on the socials about what they were up to and zero video. I do worry that there have been a considerable number of...

Middlesbrough are set to take on Rob Edwards to be their new manager. I'm shocked to be honest. And weirdly, they'll have to pay Luton compensation despite them sacking him! For context, Luton lost 5-1 in Teesside last season.

Luton were in for him earlier in the window supposedly. Looks very solid. I would say we probably ended our interest when we confirmed Kal Naismith last week.

Becoming increasingly unlikely that Thomas Kaminski won't be returning for pre-season training. I would imagine he goes to Anderlecht or Standard Liege, although Aris Thessaloniki have also made an offer. For context, he lost his dad suddenly at the end of last season, so I imagine being closer...

Very good signing for L1 level. Again, another leader. Will be in the running for the captaincy next season.
