Really pleased with this news.
Begs the question as to who will captain the side next season?
Also, will the £3m offer for Morrison be back on?
Best signing so far! Looks like no other team would pay the wages he wanted so we get to keep him. Morrison and Manga at the back with Bamba on the bench for me. Maybe Connolly will leave?
Great signing as you say. But it would be Bamba and Manga for me. Bamba was very influential in our turnaround last season. Had he been here the whole season we may have made the play offs. IMO opinion Morrison is not as good as Bamba or Manga. Pity there does not seem to be a place for Connelly. But In Warnock we trust.

Very good news - I was certain Bruno had played his last match for us.
I'd be very tempted to go with a back three next season because we have four very good central defenders at this level and Peltier has looked comfortable when he has played there as well, but we all know what happened when we tried that system before!
Assuming we don't get shot of anyone, we do look very strong and flexible defensively. If we can add another striker and midfielder we'll have a squad capable of having a really good crack at promotion. Good work NW
Great news. Whether Manga wanted away or not, we have managed to keep him here.
For me, this shows ambition by the club and whether we play 3 centre halves with 2 wing backs or back 4 with Bamba in front of the 2 CH's, Bruno will be able to make the step up should the unlikely happen with promotion.
That's the defence sorted, bring on a creative midfielder and cover for Ken
Excellent news.
Wonder how much of a hit he took?
Well done the suits
Great news take 3 million for Morrison and bring this lad in

I don't find it so easy to to welcome the news of a player whose agent has tried to move him away for several summers in a row signing a new contract. Good news overall but not without comment.
Alternatively we have Manga Morrison Bamba and Connolly kept as Centre halves, Patterson and Peltier as RB's and Bennett and Richards as Lb's
Two players for every position, or three CH's and two wing backs, either way we keep players playing in their best positions
and not moved around just to fill a gap
It's a tough old long season in the Championship, Saturday -Tuesday almost week in week out, we'll have players injured and cop for a couple of suspensions, this way we have excellent cover in defence
Currently we have 4 wingers with Hoilett, Harris,Mendez-Laing and Kennedy (with Noone and Pilks moved on)
and two CM's with Gunners and Ralls
I'd like to see Ledley back as he would certainly improve us, another big target man, like Sam Gallacher and another winger if we move Kennedy out
With Mark Harris and Halford I think we have enough cover in Midfield
To me this would look like a team that are not only hard to beat, but a squad that could survive in that week in week out slog for forty odd games
One thing for certain is that it's great to see us getting our business done so early in the pre-season, this could really be a very good campaign for us, as all the ingredients are there
A club uniting with it's fan base
A manager that can bring the club,players and fans together as one
Players who want to be here and play for the manager
and fans who will passionately back their team
Roll on August
Defence sorted. Two midfielders and a striker please..
Can anyone else see the team line up being:
Camp
Manga Morrison
Bamba
Richards Bennett
Gunnarsson
Hoillett Harris
Ward
Zohore
It looks to me as if NW is going for pace and mobility at the flanks with Ward, Gunnars and Zohore asked to do a lot of work in front of Bamba or Manga playing defensive mid.
We are clearly still light in midfield but this might explain the apparent overload of excellent CB's we will have.
