Essentially a swap deal as Brownhill gone to Burnley.
Sky saying Burnley have paid £7m for Brownhill so I doubt it.
Bristol City paid between £5-6mil for Wells, hence saying it’s essentially a swap deal, very little money difference involved.
Josh Brownhills move is £9M with Wells being £5M so there is a £4M difference
Lots of different media outlets saying different prices for Brownhill. Either way, fair enough. I assume the difference is what will be paid though rather than the two figures for each player.
Who'd have thought CAFC would go for the glory of the first official signing on transfer deadline day? Just want to be on the Sky ticker in the morning!
Was feeling pessimistic yesterday, but the signing of McGeady combined with southalls chirpiness on twitter have got me feeling confident. Can see another 2 or 3 coming in today
If Docherty is coming down from Rangers, is it logical that Taylor may be going in the opposite direction? Seems that Bristol City are no longer in need of a striker so it just leaves Brentford and Rangers as the other 2 known interested parties.
It will be interesting to see if Lyle is present at today’s training session. I suspect not but sincerely hope he is.
Well I’m gutted. Woke up about an ago and checked my phone to see the time, saw a Twitter notification that we had signed McGeady. Went back to sleep and dreamt we had signed 5 in total and loaned out Aneke, all done by about 4:48am.
Oh well. McGeady’s a good start. We need more goals, creativity and technical ability in the midfield. Hoping we’ll bring in at least two more.
Must be at least one more to be announced as last night Southall said 'medicals' implying more than one signing was close. McGeady was obviously one of them.

Deadline day underway
You're gonna be hard pushed to get players from teams above us to join a relegation battle.
Why would you unless you're a youngster looking for game time?
Good signing and adds something different to us. His experience is going to be important and can see him and Williams creating a lot of chances.
Happy with this and positive start to a busy day. (Let’s hope they get some sort of sleep tonight)
Like the sound of the Bristol Rovers lad upfront, hope we can get him too.
Now that wouldn't have happened under Roland.
Setting my alarm for 3AM just to be safe
(just kidding - 43 year old bladder means I rarely get through the night without needing a pee)
im enjoying Southall’s chirpy demeanour for this deadline day
Strap yourselves in folks

Perhaps Doherty and JCH?
