Seems like a large fee but I wouldn't be surprised if in two years time people are talking about what a bargain it was. He's only 21, Kane was a similar age when he first broke into the Spurs team under Sherwood and I doubt many people were expecting him to be the striker he is today.

Different attributes, Solanke is a target man solely. Not bad on the deck but i wouldn't really compare to Kane as his potential is not quite as high, also Kane is natural goalscorer Solanke hasn't shown this yet. 1 goal from 25 for Liverpool (i know most will be sub appearances) 7/25 in Vitesse , be surprised if suddenly he started banging them in.

Possibly but Kane hadn’t shown anything to suggest he’d be prolific either. His record on loan at Millwall was decent, while his Leicester and Norwich records are pretty poor to be honest. Then when given a chance in the Prem on a consistent basis he took his chance. Time will tell and I’m not suggesting he’s going to be the best striker in the world this time next year but I can certainly see him getting 15 odd goals in the Prem which is worth the money they’re paying.

Kyle Dempsey (Fleetwood) has moved to Peterborough on loan until end of season.

Brahim Diaz to Real Madrid for £15m plus a sell on clause that is different if they sell him to Man U!

David Edwards to Shrewsbury from Reading .. was a very decent player when at Wolves, but that was a couple of years ago .. he should do well at our level.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46785460

Goes back to the club where he started his career; Edwards also played at Shrewsbury with Joe Hart

Gary Madine has signed for Sheff utd on loan, can't see the fans liking that too much.

Not obviously the sort of signing a promotion chasing team would make

Lee Tomlin signs for peterborough on loan from Cardiff

just seen this .. he's a real pain in the arse sort of player back at the club where he really made his name .. take that as a good or bad name

Not exactly a completed deal, but player/coach Russell Martin has left Walsall for family reasons, as his family are in Brighton

So in other words he wants to go further up north

I swear he always scores against us! Probably the best player in this league if he fancies it, i'm hoping the Peterborough kebab shops are good and he fills his boots!

No chance, Williams for example is miles better than Tomlin. He’s 31 and can’t make an impact in the Championship. Williams has had to drop to this league to prove his fitness and if we don’t go up, he will leave, if we do get promoted, Williams stays and we have a classy player on our hands. For me, Tomlin isn’t as great as people make him out to be.

He’s very good but I agree with what you say. There’s much better players in this division and we have at least 3/4 of them going forward alone.

Fulham have signed Ryan Babel from Besiktas. Can't believe he's only just turned 32, seems to have been around for about 20 years

Signed for MK Dons

Not quite sure I understand that, MK is a bit nearer than Walsall but it's still a major trek from Brighton

Brighton is north of London, if Dale Stephens is to be believed....

Direct Thameslink services between the two I think?

No.

Bedford and Cambridge.

Aston Villa have recalled Andre Green from Portsmouth

Scored against us at Fratton Park in their defeat along with getting a further four goals - I guess thats maybe why they signed Bryn Morris from Shrewsbury yet that could be another player loss that'll hurt them for the rest of the season
