Summer transfer, gossip, speculation thread

Seems odd that League One has a different transfer window to the Championship. Can someone talk me through the logic of that?

Clubs in the lower leagues with less resources don't have to scramble about wasting time and money. Once the clubs higher up have sorted their business, they know what is left over may be picked up by League One.

Even so, Championship clubs have less resources than Premier League clubs. Say we sign a striker at five to twelve, it doesn't give much time to loan Kodjia out. He's far too good for League One!

If we sign one at five to twelve I think we'll be keeping Kodjia since the window closed at five!

Ermm... I meant 12 midday, honest!

Matt Maher (e&s) says nothing close at Villa and it will be a quiet day

His on-line article since suggests that we are very much still trying to get deals done.

Ben Yedder would be an almighty cherry on top of our transfer window cake, but struggle to see that happening. Augustin far more likely if there is anything in it.

Think we will see at least a striker signed today though.

An Aston Villa player according to Wiki.

Charlie Austin leaving Southampton for Villa or Palace apparently.

Ian Holloway thinks all three promoted clubs will have a decent season. Even the half arsed club that used to be famous.

He is now issuing a 'PLEASE HELP STEVE' plea (he actually said it twice whilst thumping the desk) live on SKY, begging Newcastle to give Bruce money to spend today. He really does love Bruce doesn't he?

I thought Charlie Austin was off to the Stripeytwats?

[Smirker]

Austin would be shit imo. Boring signing.

Favourite author.

I'd be massively underwhelmed by Charlie Austin.

Lets hope this is bullshit.

[SoccerHQ]

He's at West Brom training ground so safe to say he's signing for them.

really hope we don’t regret not getting another striker in. We’re too short in that area for my liking
