So we've put a bid in for Wilson. From that I am taking that the Morgan bid is dead in the water. We've just "brought" Hobbs and we're still making bids for other defenders.
So if we do land one more, who is leaving out of Collins, Halford and young JL? Or will they all stay?
Is this years squads going to be defence heavy compared to SoDs Midfield heavy squad?
If we are still also looking for the "McKenna" replacement who else will leave? Personally I think Gillett and Moussi.
Glad to hear we're linked with Hooper and Austin though I'm sure reality says otherwise. Not convinced Mackie is what we need.
Paterson sounds great and the other signings sound solid.
Derbyshire sounds like he's putting the effort in, but that doesn't mean he's got what it takes. Maybe he's just getting his name back on the market.
Lack of goals worry me. Billy Sharp is obviously not coming back but I think he would have done a good job. Maybe BD is hoping to splash the cash on better.
Who's moving on......?

I think the Hooper and Austin links are purely wishful thinking, I don't think we would (or should) pay over £3 million for any player in this league.
Sharp isn't likely to return for whatever reason, and I think that's a dumb move because he scored 11 goals in roughly half a season for us then just vanished when Davies took over.

Seems like stories today are linking Guedioura with a Prem move. Not pleased as he's a good player but you have to be realistic.

Sharp vanishing when Davies took over is probably a big clue as to the reason why he won't be returning.

Can't see Guedioura leaving us at this point. I'd be very surprised if a Prem club bought him but perhaps he isn't a Davies player??

If he turns out to be not a 'Davies player' it'll be the strongest indication yet that Davies couldn't pick a player if he was watching Barcelona play Brazil.

I wouldn't bet against Guedioura leaving to make way for this Leadbitter from Boro. From the sound of it he seems like a "Billy Davies" player template, whereas Gued is more cultured.

Davies is a gimp

We need to keep our best players if we want to push on selling the Algerian makes as much sense as Leicester selling Big Wes back to us!
We should building around the team we have, not starting allover again from scratch

Would be a shame to lose Guedioura, although I'm not sure we will, because apparently this bloke is having a medical at the mo. Djamel Abdoun, an Algerian winger playing for Olympiacos.

He looks very good Lloyd. Hope that's a goer
