We’re signing Bradley Ibrahim on a permanent transfer from Hertha Berlin. Dan Grimshaw is also leaving us for Norwich, for 600k. He joined last summer and ended up being our back up keeper, and we’re making back what we paid for him from Blackpool, so no big loss.
Never heard of him but you'd imagine he'll be of a pretty decent standard. Think Plymouth might do the best of the relegated sides. They're not a basket case, seem pretty well run and have a decent manager.

Was on loan at Crawley last season. Defensive midfielder. We currently don’t have a manager however!

Oops...I've only just seen that he's gone! I'm sure they'll make a sensible replacement. Last time they were in league 1, they seemed a pretty well run club who were on the up....can't see that being derailed completely.

Also just read that their budget will be double what it was last time they were in league 1, so they'll be spending plenty.

Seems more and more likely to me that Thelo Aasgaard isn’t going to be sticking around. The Norway manager has made pretty clear he won’t be picking him if he plays in League 1 and he was as non commital as can possibly be in his interviews with Norwegian media.

Funny move at the time it happened really given our position but he was one of the very few bright spots. Will need to be replaced as we struggled for creativity all season and he was pretty much the only player to provide it

Curtis Tilt signs on 2 year contract from Salford. Our second signing hasn't been well received by our fans.

Seems like Blackpool are going to have a real go for it this year. Signing Horsfall on a 4 year and Ihiekwe today on a 3 year. Neither of them will have come cheaply.

Rumoured that we were potentially in for Ihiekwe but I'm pretty certain that we wouldn't offer 3 years to a 32 year old...seems a little bonkers if you ask me but clearly they just want to build a strong side and worry about the future later. Seems a bit short term but good luck to them.

Not a signing per se, but it looks like Luton will recruit Marc Tracey as their new Head of Recruitment from Lincoln City. He is actually a Luton Town supporter, but my knowledge of the guy is limited to that.

My goodness we need a shake up in that department.
Been with us since the Cowleys arrived, highly regarded within the club.
Promotion to boot for him as well, from chief scout here , to head of recruitment with you.

Going to have his work cut out I’d imagine, our recruitment needs a big overhaul - not sure it’s been fit for purpose since NJ left and Harford has taken a step back due to age/health

We were a midtable national league side when he first worked with us, so he's used to a challenge!
We had zero cash, sure he'll do you proud.
I believe one of ground staff (head groundsman I think) has gone to Manchester City.
Quite a few of our non playing staff have on gone onto bigger things

It’s been announced officially now alongside changes to the recruitment structure generally.

He’s not head of recruitment but Chief scout here too with Yousuf Sajjad & Jay Socik who have been here for a little while taking on more leading roles.

Like I say - everyone in that area needs to massively up their games from the last 4 windows which have been dreadful really

Mitch Pinnock has signed up with Bromley. Wasn't expecting him to have interest from League 1 teams looking for promotion, but a bit surprised he didn't have any other League 1 interest in the area he wanted to be. While he wasn't a stand out in the way Leonard was previous year, I thought our player of the season wouldn't have to drop a whole division.
