unsurprisingly it has been a very quiet transfer window (so far)
here's the list of business done so far:
https://www.transfermarkt.com/champi...saison_id=2021
Fulham, west brom and Bournemouth unsurprisingly look strong.
Millwall have had a pretty good window as well,
No fans , no money , uncertainty , losses last year I guess brings caution .
Harry Wilson’s fee is about 70% if all the expenditure by Championship clubs.
Assombalonga not too long ago 15 million quid player.
Gone for free.
It’s been a long time since I have been so underwhelmed about the start of a new season.
I expect there’ll be a few last minute spectaculars for all that.
also George Saville gone back to Milwall- Middlesbrough paid £8m a few years ago.Quote:

I bet. not a great summer for reading, considering who you've sold and long term injuries and haven't brought anyone in.Quote:

Josh Laurent and George Puscas being linked with moves tooQuote:

Unfair on Warnock, I feel! They made it clear they didn't want to stay and Boro cutting their cloth accordingly. Fletcher, Saville and Assombalonga worth nowhere near what they paid for them.Quote:

Not official... yet. Apparently he is in Middlesbrough now. Martin Payero I think he's called.Quote:

I can't imagine a less Warnock seeming transfer.Quote:

in 2 years time when he gets his debut it'll be interesting to see how he does.

Only Coventry, Millwall and QPR look to have strengthened over the summer. Everyone else looks to be weaker than last season and some considerably so.
