Sheff Utd in for Jon Swift at Reading at a bargain £3.5m.
Looks like a buyers' market... |  | | |  |

errr...why take a player on loan at all if you don't intend to play him ? I thought that was just a Jack Clarke thing with us? It's late, I have a large glass of fortified red wine, I'm probably missing something obvious |
"errr...why take a player on loan at all if you don't intend to play him ?"
Sometimes the loanee doesn't settle; or another player in his position simply just plays better; or the injured player he was signed to replace temporarily comes back sooner than expected; or the manager who wanted the loan gets sacked and his replacement doesn't fancy him.
When Brentford signed Said Berahino on loan from WBA a few years back (Alan Kernaghan was caretaker manager), we knew he was one of the most talented teenagers in the country. We didn't know that he is also one of the biggest tossers in the country. So that by the time Uwe Rosler took over permanently, he cancelled the loan and sent him back to WBA after just two months. (We may have had to take a hit on that?)
The fact that he'd scored 4 goals in 8 games wasn't enough to save him in Rosler's eyes; more importantly it wasn't enough to save him from the old pro who pinned him to the wall of the dressing room after one game and seriously threatened to break his neck.  |  | | |

David Marshall going around again in goal for Derby, switching from Wigan.
Does generally feel like a league of v mediocre keepers. Smithies is great, raya is when he’s not trying to be a clever sht, but who else? | | | |

Have seen Forest and Reading fans rave about their Samba guys.
Bialkowski allegedly great when we're not looking.
Bentley and Woodman talented but not 100% consistent seems like.
Travers will probably replace Ramsdale without anyone noticing. |  | | |

can someone just sanity check for me - Sheffield United spending £18m on Ramsdale is absolutely nuts, right? |  |

Speaking to Talksport this morning, [Deeney] said: “He’s got this blue eyed, looks you straight in the eyes and looks like he’s going to kill you, but he’s talking really nice, so you’re on edge all the time!
“You’re thinking, ‘are you about to do me?’ I don’t know what’s going on!
“But he’s a real nice guy, he’s coached us really well over the first few days and none of the boys are moaning, which is always good.” | | | |

Have Reading ever had a player their fans didn’t think was the best in the league in his position.
Forest keeper is a good shout. | | | |

Joe Williams signs for Bristol City from Wigan - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53846502
Was impressed with him every time I've seen him for Wigan. Likely a modest fee for a good CM all-rounder who has 100+ appearances at this level at 23.
Yeah as said above - Foster is still excellent, Rafael at Reading and Samba at Forest are good. But beyond that? Not much... | | | |

I think because Sheffield United had a sell on clause when they sold him to Bournemouth it has been knocked off so the actual fee is more like £22million |  |

Can you imagine the meltdown on here if we sold a player for a million and then bought him back a couple of years later for £18 million!! |  |

Yeah I also like Williams. Supposedly most expensive of the firesold at £2.5m though. | | | |

Talk to any Stoke fan - Butland was absolutely terrible last season. Finally lost his place to a rookie at the end of the season, who played well enough for Stoke fans to want to see Butland binned permanently.

We’d probably forgive it if we’d got promoted and nearly got into Europe in the process. | | | |

Gibbs-White looks like he's going to Swansea for a season loan from Wolves. That's another amazing borrow for them.
What you lose in aesthetics having Steve Cooper in charge, you get back in the ability to get exceptional young English loans. |  |

How stupid must they feel turning down all that Villa money a year or so back. Couldn't give him away now. Unless Leeds are going to be silly. | | | |

Wednesday and Birmingham have agreed a fee of £1m with WBA for Jonathan Leko. Career run aground somewhat and a serious injury but I wouldn't have been too mad if we took the same punt replacing Bright - plenty of raw talent there.
Still wondering what will become of Jordan Ibe (never mind Sheyi Ojo and Jerome Sinclair)... | | | |

Proper Warnock player that. Big bruiser.

To be honest I’d spend half the money we get for Eze to buy Smithies back ...  |  | | |

I can't believe Butland is only 27. He's been around forever.
9 caps for England, if he regained form he could be a bargain for someone (not us I think ours will be fine) [Post edited 25 Aug 2020 8:19]

Butland hasn't been the same keeper since he picked up that bad injury playing for England in Germany four years ago. He was out for over a year and has never got back to the same level, probably a confidence thing. |  |
