Barry Bannan signs a new contract with Sheffield Wednesday.
He will be like a new signing for them while they struggle to field a team.

Barry Bannan's hair is a new signing for them.

Looks like Swansea won't be signing Richard Kone and Leicester are being heavily linked. 

I bet Wycombe are kicking themselves now they didn't accept Luton's bid last January, he's looking to go for almost half of that fee now

Norwich sign striker Jovon Makama from Lincoln 

Described as a " club record fee" received by Lincoln.

Kone, 14 goals without the pens

Kelman, 19 goals without the pens 

A lot of excitement around Kone by bigger champ sides, but no one seems to be bothered about Kelman despite him having the better season and better career so far

It’s the profile that makes Kone a more interesting proposition for clubs above us. Kelman is very much a penalty box striker who won’t get involved much with the rest of play, whereas Kone can mix it up a bit more - as well as being younger. 

I don't think that's true at all. If you watch Kelman and Kones goal for the season side by side, Kelman is more clinical, has a wider variety of goals, anticipates better, more goals from range/outside the box, appears to be quicker. The only thing I think Kone has on him is he appears a bit more physical and more suited to leading the line on his own with his foot work. I see your point, but Kelman is far more than a penalty box striker looking at his goals and output.

Luckily for us I think Kelman has been underestimated a bit, his technique was sublime the season gone.

Ben Jacobs ( feel disgusted saying that name) reporting Wrexham agreed personal terms with windass with medical scheduled next week.Big signing if true.

Being linked with Kieffer Moore too, but that could be 2+2=4 with him being Welsh.

Should be confirmed next couple of days apparently.

Moore, Hardie, Smith as forward options, Windass too just behind?

Presume Marriott, Palmer, Rodriguez, Faal might follow Mullin out the door.

It's a great stat to go with.

Watching the NTT Championship video, they noted that Wrexham have picked up a lot of players as they rose up the divisions, and have struggled to get rid of many of the fringe players.

Elliot Lee for example is under contract for another 2 years. 

This is a major point with Wrexham, they'll have put those players on very good money that they won't get anywhere else and now a lot of them are surplus to requirements and will be very hard to shift. 

Yeah I wonder if they'll be a late flurry of loans out with them paying a big chunk of the wages - can't see them wanting a squad of 35 or whatever with a load of players not playing and grumbling.

Interesting Oxford have gone for two loans as their striker transfers this summer, rather than buy anyone.

I'd have assumed Kone was more of an NJ type of player to be honest

Brum fans still crying about not having it all their own way

Wrexham have signed Wales striker Kieffer Moore on a three-year contract from Championship rivals Sheffield United.

The fee for the 32-year-old is undisclosed but reports suggest the deal is worth £2m.

Apparently was on £25k a week at Sheffield United. Intrigued what Wrexham will be paying. 

Rumours they're after Lewis Koumas too, given that and the Broadhead rumour seems they're targeting a few localised lads.

Danny Ward and Coady too.

Cacace less so!
