    Barry Bannan signs a new contract with Sheffield Wednesday.
    He will be like a new signing for them while they struggle to field a team.
    Barry Bannan's hair is a new signing for them.

    Brilliant to see Ipswich entering the picture for Chuba Akpom after Brum fans were lording it over Middlesbrough yesterday.

    Looks like Swansea won't be signing Richard Kone and Leicester are being heavily linked. 

    I bet Wycombe are kicking themselves now they didn't accept Luton's bid last January, he's looking to go for almost half of that fee now

    Kone, 14 goals without the pens

    Kelman, 19 goals without the pens 

    A lot of excitement around Kone by bigger champ sides, but no one seems to be bothered about Kelman despite him having the better season and better career so far

    It’s the profile that makes Kone a more interesting proposition for clubs above us. Kelman is very much a penalty box striker who won’t get involved much with the rest of play, whereas Kone can mix it up a bit more - as well as being younger.

    I don't think that's true at all. If you watch Kelman and Kones goal for the season side by side, Kelman is more clinical, has a wider variety of goals, anticipates better, more goals from range/outside the box, appears to be quicker. The only thing I think Kone has on him is he appears a bit more physical and more suited to leading the line on his own with his foot work. I see your point, but Kelman is far more than a penalty box striker looking at his goals and output.

    Luckily for us I think Kelman has been underestimated a bit, his technique was sublime the season gone.

    Ben Jacobs ( feel disgusted saying that name) reporting Wrexham agreed personal terms with windass with medical scheduled next week.Big signing if true.
    Being linked with Kieffer Moore too, but that could be 2+2=4 with him being Welsh.
    Should be confirmed next couple of days apparently.

    Moore, Hardie, Smith as forward options, Windass too just behind?

    Presume Marriott, Palmer, Rodriguez, Faal might follow Mullin out the door.

    Watching the NTT Championship video, they noted that Wrexham have picked up a lot of players as they rose up the divisions, and have struggled to get rid of many of the fringe players.

    Elliot Lee for example is under contract for another 2 years.

    It's a great stat to go with. 

    Stansfield, 10 goals without penalties.

    This is a major point with Wrexham, they'll have put those players on very good money that they won't get anywhere else and now a lot of them are surplus to requirements and will be very hard to shift.

    Yeah I think this is probably another one like Burrell to QPR where you're signing the traits that he's got and what he could become as opposed to someone that will start every week.

    Yeah I wonder if they'll be a late flurry of loans out with them paying a big chunk of the wages - can't see them wanting a squad of 35 or whatever with a load of players not playing and grumbling.

    Scored no goals in his loan spell at WBA in the second half of last season.

    I sometimes thing that PL clubs over estimate how good their youngsters are, or at least how ready they are for EFL football. So often you see a young player going on loan to the Championship, making no impression, then having to drop down a division or 2 before rising up the ladder again. Or finding their level down there.

    Interesting Oxford have gone for two loans as their striker transfers this summer, rather than buy anyone.

    There's definitely a feeling that Premier League sides in general look down on League One and Two as not good enough for their kids. Obviously you do get a fair few going on loan there, but feels like too many are loaned to Championship too soon.

    I'd have assumed Kone was more of an NJ type of player to be honest

    That shows the small budget they have, and that with the finances going towards their new stadium, they're not going to gamble on expensive signings to stay up.

    Wrexham have signed Wales striker Kieffer Moore on a three-year contract from Championship rivals Sheffield United.

    The fee for the 32-year-old is undisclosed but reports suggest the deal is worth £2m.

    Apparently was on £25k a week at Sheffield United. Intrigued what Wrexham will be paying.

    Presumably Moore and Hardie to start, Smith on the bench?

    Rumours they're after Lewis Koumas too, given that and the Broadhead rumour seems they're targeting a few localised lads.

    Danny Ward and Coady too.

    Cacace less so!

    Personally, I'd start Smith over Hardie....then again, not our problem!!
