    Tom Elliott is a good League One player. Championship? Maybe.

    I'd describe him as "fitting their style of play." Big, powerful targetman to provide cover for/challenge Morrison or even Gregory, who isn't that small just quicker.

    Under normal circumstances doesn't scream "Championship" signing, but Millwall have a game plan and a way of playing that Elliot will fit into well (what I saw of AFCW they played in a not dissimilar way). 4-4-2, scrappy, get it forward quickly to the two battling forwards, use the wings for crosses, etc. They could get massively found out in the Championship, they could finish midtable. Obviously hope it's the former not only because it's Millwall, but also because I'd really like to see that style of football relegated further and further down the footballing pyramid.

    Also, I want this guy bad....

    Will Vaulks, Rotherham's best player. DM. 23. Hates to lose. Once played for free just to get into football. Ours for £400-500k. 1.8m tall. Rangers want him too.

    Probably not a great fit for us, then.

    As Rotherham lost 33 out of 46 games last season, he must have really hatred it!

    Correct. We need players that hate winning. Or ones that are partial to a 1-1 draw.

    signing a player called Ball is not a good idea, most of our players are adverse to them

    Players being identified here are also without doubt on other teams radars. I really have no confidence that we will persuede in demand players to sign for us over any Championship club and at least 8 or so League One teams. Players and agents know we are a basket case and will look to better prospects elsewhere.

    Until Duchatelet sells we are set in aspic.

    Just that we've been linked with about a thousand players and not signed one yet. Even massive clubs like Bury have made multiple signings.

    It would be nice to have some positive news...

    Heard a few rumours that Naby Sarr will be offered a new contract on reduced wages.
    The club believe that he has shown significant signs of improvement during season abroad.

    How would they know? Bet we've only sent someone over to watch him 2/3 times all season, max

    He has a long contract on high wages at the moment as I understand it. Why would he accept a reduction?

    He only played about 20 games for a team that got relegated from the second division in France where only 3 teams conceded more than Red Star all season. Did he really do that well? I very much doubt it.

    Disagree, certainly when it comes to L1 clubs

    Against most L1 clubs, unless someone wants to stay up north, we'll be far more attractive (apart from perhaps Bradford). Players will see the better wages, ground and training facilities. I don't think players care about the off field stuff that much anyway

    As for Championship clubs, well that would apply in most cases whoever our owner was.

    fear not, Robinson will have a look at him over the summer.

    All you moaners need to stop going on about the mistakes, even ones that cost 2m euros and £8k pw in wages. They have learnt from them and they are in the past same as all the others so don't mention them again.

    Let's wait and see what the squad is like in August (again) get behind the team and stick our fingers in our ears when anyone points out what a mess it is.

    Remember, we have a top six budget, the £55m debt doesn't matter, the club isn't for sale, the training ground work has only been delayed by two years and it could be worse so careful what you wish for.

    It is still only May only a handful of clubs have signed players at this stage. No need for panic just yet though!

    Plus Fleetwood, Port vale, MK Dons, Coventry, Chesterfield & Bolton (and those are just the ones that were in our league last season)

    I've just realised that the reason for the inactivity is that KM has decided that if she signs no-one then she cant be accused of buying the wrong player or overpaying the transfer fee and/or wages.
