Sheffield Wednesday have signed forward Sylla Sow

Be curious to know how - Certainly based on the Brexit comments on this thread today.

Not at a dig, as agree with Marcus and Chris have said about it today on here

More the fact that he's Dutch, was out of contract after playing for a team that barely escaped relegation in the Eredivisie, whilst has never played Internationally - Based on the points system that'll be in place for bringing in International players, I dont see how he'd qualify?

Either way his scoring record isnt anything special, not when you consider the likes of Polish Pete did well in the Eerste Divisie yet struggled in the Championship - Whilst this fella didnt even set the world alight at that level

pompey signed louis thompson, great deal that

Few years ago he looked a really handy prospect. However, struggled to get in MK Dons team last year and ended up covering at right back.

He’s really struggled with injuries. Cowley said no doubting his ability his trial was all about whether his body could handle it

@killerandflash, replying to you post about Blackburn on here as didnt want to derail the other

Looks like they're signing Michael Obafemi from Southampton (not part of the same deal as the Armstrong one) as his replacement.

When you said about their bench full of kids, I'd be interested to see if there are any stats put together. Wont be surprised if this is the season where we'll see more youngsters coming through into first teams across the Divisions because sides are using this as a recovery season from COVID.

Also as has been mentioned on here, Brexit has changed things.

Championship clubs could previously look to lesser leagues like (for example) Norway, Sweden etc for players but now unless those players meet certain criteria it's a no go. So what do the championship clubs do instead.........look into the domestic lower leagues.

This is one of the biggest points. You now can't do what Brentford did so successfully and go and find these undervalued players around Europe , someone like an Mbuemo they just wouldn't get a work permit for now. 

So players we probably have had an eye on for a while now have Championship interest and that's always going to be hard to fight off for wages.

Transfer update for last week, Sheff Wed bring in five as Rotherham pick up the pace with three. We're close to the bottom of the net squad size table now. Sunderland seem to be in real trouble at the moment, the Denver Hume saga is getting embarassing.

What’s the explanation for Ipswich given they’ve made so many signings? Did their released number include u23s with the odd first team appearance?

Probably won't register much interest here but Feyenoord have sold their best player, top scorer and captain Steven Berghuis to arch rivals Ajax.

Fair to say it's a transfer that won't go down well in Rotterdam and i'd imagine it won't be a comfortable day for him when Ajax play at Feyenoord next season.

In Dutch terms it's the same as Figo going to Real from Barca, or if Liverpool sold their best player to Man United.
