  • Norwich City midfielder Marcelino Nunez is set to make a shock move from the Canaries to bitter rivals Ipswich Town. A deal worth £10m is expected to be completed with Norwich selling as the Chilean is in the final 12 months of his contract.

    Nunez underwent a medical on Wednesday night and could be unveiled before Ipswich's Championship fixture against Derby on Saturday.

    It represents the first major transfer between the East Anglian clubs since goalkeeper Andy Marshall made the same switch in 2001.

    Ipswich also in for Furlong the WBA right back for around £4m. Not sure if that affects plans for Caleb Taylor, the also lost the big Scandi guy Heggem so a big denfensive rebuild needed at West Brom
  • I see Largie Ramazani has moved on loan from Leeds to Valencia.  Hasn't really had a settled run anywhere since leaving us.
  • Fair play to Ipswich this is quite a funny announcement video

    The first East Anglian derby will be interesting...

    Sheffield United sign winger Tahith Chong from Luton 
    Virtually all of Luton's relegated team are now back in the Championship, which does make you wonder how they could have been so bad last season.

    And a deal that's been on this thread for the last few days is confirmed.

    The ones I'm surprised are still there are Mark McGuiness and Teden Mengi. 2 CBs that I thought would have easily got moves.

    Can we remind him of how he did against us last season. What's that I hear.....a 4-0 drubbing at home. Tsk tsk 😀.

    I've seen a £2.5m fee mentioned, which seems high for a player who's barely played in the Championship. Especially as defenders go for less than goal scorers.

    Easily worth that IMO. Very good defender with the physical attributes needed for Championship/higher and youth on his side. Would have loved to see him here.

    West Brom hardly played him though, and it's not as if they've been brilliant.

    I think youth is the major factor here. He has time to develop, we’re not desperate for centre backs, but Cooper isn’t getting any younger. I can only presume he will be his replacement in a couple of years. Centre backs tend to hit their peak a bit later than other outfield players.

    Ipswich sign Norwegian international striker Sindre Walle Egali from Nordesjaelland 
    It's crazy how many Scandinavian players have moved over here for big money in the last 12 months. £15m for a guy who's never played outside of Denmark and only 19YO. Norwich have done the same.
  • I saw rumours online yesterday of Ivanovic to Leicester?

    Caleb Taylor I though was a good signing, he was superb in L1 but didn't realise he'd played so few games in the Champ will be interesting to see how he copes.

    There's been Premier League levels of money thrown around this week by Ipswich, Southampton, Boro and more to come like Swansea £7m on Idah. Silly season has arrived

    If you think £7m for a striker or any of those signings are PL money I suspect you have a look at some PL transfers this week. Newcastle buying a German striker for £70mish, Nicholas Jackson going to Bayern on loan with a similar buy option, Xavi Simons bought for £52m. All of these dwarf all of the Championship moves, even Ipswich’s
  • Stoke sign Slovak international midfielder Tomas Rigo from Banik Ostrava on a 4 year deal.

    I meant more the Ipswich £15m striker and Southampton spending £10m on 3 separate players.

    Obviously the Woltemade, Jackson & Simons transfers are from some of the world’s biggest clubs so not really comparable to the fees being spent mid table and below. 

    but when you have Champ teams spending £10-£15m it’s shows what a tough task we have when this eclipses our entire spending (which we’ve all been delighted at) the level of spending in the Champ feels like it’s jumped again. 
  • It’s where the parachute payments are a joke and just allows the Championship to become this way as it makes other clubs without those payments feel like they have to spend money they shouldn’t really be doing just to compete at the top.

    You shouldn’t have 2 Championship clubs spend over £100mil between them in any window, ever, but you do and you’ll get that this summer.

    Our business has been good, but we’ve bought the better players from League One who we hope are young enough, hungry enough, and ultimately good enough to do it at this level. We just cannot compete with the spending of other clubs.

    To be fair the 3 relegated clubs have also brought in a lot of money too. Soton have sold Fernandes to West Ham for £40m and Dibling to Everton for £35m this week for example.

    It'll be interesting to see the final net transfer spend numbers after Monday. We were early movers, but there has been a lot of business since the season started.
  • Ipswich have probably brought in £65-70m from Delap and Hutchinson. But it does feel like a crazy league transfer wise

    Blackburn sign striker Andri Gudjohnsson from Gent

    * Yes he's Eidurs son
  • I’ve been saying all summer I want us too look abroad. I am just note seeing the talent in L1 & L2 all of that talent and potential seems to have been swept up. I can’t see the next obvious next stars to step up.

    Getting relegated from the Prem is now basically a business strategy for long term growth, you go up buy up the potential talent that the big clubs don’t risk.

    You then go down with the parachute payments stronger than before and sell on that talent one year later for massive profit. 

    It’s almost that you have to go up and down two or three times now in order to be able to then stay up.
