Hull sign striker Joe Geldhardt on loan from Leeds 

Good addition for them - he was important last year.

Not so sure Hull are the relegation cert's some pundits have made them out to be

Akpom scored 28 in 38 in this division just three years ago and has since played in a couple of top leagues across Europe. If we signed him, i think we'd be pretty happy. He'll score loads for Ipswich.

Will be interesting to see how Kone fares as opposed to Kelman

Comment on 2 recent Wrexham signings:

Ryan Reynolds told he's wasted £4m as Wrexham deals ripped to shreds - 'Not done a thing'

Getting their business done early

10m for a player in the last year of his contract. Absolutely mental. 

"The gang goes bankrupt"

He was linked a couple of weeks ago for 7m, and i thought even that was a bit expensive. 10m is wild. Feels like they're paying about 4m too much just because he's Welsh.

Looks like west brom might be getting toby collyer on loan the kind of player I wish we had next to Coventry.

How the Championship has changed while we’ve been sloshing in L1 - we get promoted, spend over £10m on fees, but the other two promoted clubs will have comfortably spent far more than us.

Can't compare us to those 2 crackpot clubs though IMO, both are bankrolled by media and glamour as much as actual money

Broadhead is a good championship player but at 27 and only a year left on his contract 10m seems ridiculously high.
