Without the quality of our Three loan players last season: Cullen, was so consistent in midfield, ditto Purrington at LB. Bielik wasn't consistent, had a couple of shockers early doors but despite too many injuries for a young player was the class act in the season when played in Midfield. IF by some miracle we could get Cullen or Bielik back it would give us a great chance of achieving our goal of staying up.
This transfer window is important but the loan window will decide whether we spend more than 1 season back in the Championship.
It’s the same window, we have until 8th August to bring in permanent and loan signings.
I think players without a club are only exception, but even they possibly have a deadline of end of August.
So free agents will not be able to sign for a club between September and the January window?

Cheers @Scoham for that as the dates have changed and why it was imperative that Lee and team were signed up sooner than they were. Gallen and Bowyer will need to weave their magic. Think Corinthians casuals. It's not about the money. Bullshit with a smile and an air freshener should work.
I think League 1 and 2 still have loan windows until the end of August, but the Champ is in line with the Prem.

I still believe with free agents, so long as they’re a free agent before the close of the respective windows, you will still be able to sign them.
If they’ve changed it so that you can’t sign them beyond the normal window, I think you’ll have a lot of players taking potential legal action as they’re essentially stopping them from working and a possible loss of earnings.

Pretty sure free agents can still be signed outside the window. PL clubs have to submit squads to the league, so I imagine it would be unusual for them to sign free agents outside the windows anyway, but not an issue for EFL clubs
He's still under contract till 2021, they paid a fee of over 3 mill for him and he's still valued in excess of 2 mill. People are saying it would cost a mill. The bloke who has tweeted it has said reliable but I don't see us paying 7 figures for a 30 year old, that's un-Roland
Agreed - it is most definitely not a Roland type of signing. Can't see us spending a seven figure fee on anyone while we're stuck with the old ballbag, even if they're young and talented.
Or a little short of 1 in 4. Would likely score 10 ish goals in a season if he stays fit.
10 goals in the Championship for a relegated side ( Bristol City ) is a fairly decent return, but his 11 for Brighton was in their promotion season so you'd imagine he'd have got plenty of chances
I can’t imagine there’s anything in the Baldock rumours. Only one prolific season in League 1, on big wages and that’s probably not the only reason Reading want to move him on. There must be some younger, hungrier players out there with more potential.
If we if we go into next season with Taylor, Aneke, Bonne and Baldock as the front four options, I would be happy enough on the low budget we have. All of them know where the goal is, it will be whether we can get sufficient creativity in the midfield to unlock the better Championship defences vs. league 1?
not a rumour .. a wish .. experienced and consistent goal scorer, albeit in the bottom 2 divisions ? .. the same name I have been touting for the past five seasons .. Paddy Madden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Madden

Possibly, I can’t find a definitive answer.

Sure the legal profession could look at this as a restraint of trade?
We are linked with Baldock
Or a little short of 1 in 4. Would likely score 10 ish goals in a season if he stays fit.
Remember him as a busy, hardworking player with a goal in him.
Could be a good foil for Lyle and Aneke.
No idea if he's the same player Powell wanted 7 years ago.
He's 7 years older...
Taylor is a better player than he was seven years ago. Baldock may be worse.

Therefore releasing Baldock might mean they can bid for Piggott.
