Forgive my ignorance, but isn't signing most of these players going to be a moot point due to the restrictions imposed by the League One wage cap?

No, because we have plenty of lower wage players in the current squad, so money will be available for some higher wages to those players that earn that amount. 

I had misunderstood. I thought that players had to be paid a max £2k pw, unless already under contract at a higher weekly wage? Are the rules published?

You thought the same as me. I thought it was max £2k a week for a single player and under the embargo we could only offer £1.3k a week.

As others have said its a cumulative total of £2.5m excluding U21's. Players already on contracts over £2k per week are added in as a £2k player , so if you currently had a £10k a week player , that would count as 2K per week for the cap, until the contract ran out. 

So pack the squad full of top quality  u21's and you can afford to pay good money. 

Donnarama
Matthews DeLigt Pearce Davies
Foden Havertz Gilbey
Sancho Haaland Doherty

Looks quite good for League 1

Gary Doherty up front..interesting concept.  Is that to win the flicks from Donnarumma's clearances.  I like your thinking :-)

Actually played up front a few times as a Striker for Spurs I think

I'm more intrigued by the thought of Bananarama in goal

That's really saying something.

Kenny Burns?

Didn’t Chris Sutton start off as a CH or am I thinking of Paul Warhurst or both!

He did. I read his book but gave up half way through. Up there with barrister boring fucker.

Can park this for a week now

Na I'm sure over the next week we'll find out who these 5/6 players were and watch them sign elsewhere 

If Lockyer is gone and Matthews doesn't sign we have one place up for grabs. 

I think a left sided CB is the priority.

With Lockyer gone we only have Deji and Pearce as CB pairing 😑

Just bringing up random potential loans but I wonder what Adam Idah's situation will be @ Norwich this season

Will they use him in the Championship or will they see him a bit like we do with Davison?

That’s it I’m officially done with us..

Don't give up yet! Purse must still be out there somewhere.

Been called up the Ireland national team, so i wouldn't have thought they'd drop him down to league one.

Probably he'll be backup to Pukki and Hugill. 

Looking at their squad, i fully expect Norwich to go straight back up.

Like Arthur Horsfield and Ronnie Moore he played in both positions. A sort of 5/9. I understand that Rob Hulse played at CB a bit as well in his early career.

Modern players don't seem to adapt like that now. 

It's a long time since anyone had someone as adaptable as Steve Gritt and even he pales in comparison with John Hewie.

Any actual rumours...?  Any idea who the 5 or 6 players LB has lined up.

They'll be three or four on here sadly  https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/transfers

As dull and half empty as it sounds, my guess is they’re very ordinary, purely because they must’ve been lined up before the knowledge of Sandgaard and on one of the frauds budgets.

My guess is a couple of the trialists, and a mixture of non league step ups and chuckaways from our league/championship that have dreadful injury records.
