Transfer Business Thoughts

Well we've got plenty of new faces in and quite a hefty wage bill I should imagine.
I for one am very pleased that the club has been active in this area and clearly shows that we mean to stay in this league. I must admit to not knowing anything much about several of the new additions but it's all positive and we have to trust Ollie et al.
Let's hope we can start to establish a bit of a foothold and raise our profile. We then might be able to strengthen further in January if necessary.

As for the players that will go out on loan or leave the club, you wouldn't catch me making much of a case for any of them if I'm honest. Thanks and all that but we have to move on.

How do others see it?

I'm quite happy with the new signings. We've got a few Premier League experienced players and decent cover for every position.

I think the owners have been wise to get a few players on 3 year deals who if we got relegated should help get us promoted.

Here's a list of all our signings

Stephen Dobbie (Brighton, undisclosed),
Dwight Gayle (Peterborough, undisclosed),
Jerome Thomas (West Brom, free),
Jose Campana (Sevilla, undisclosed),
Kevin Phillips (Blackpool, free),
Elliot Grandin (Blackpool, free),
Marouane Chamakh (Arsenal, undisclosed),
Neil Alexander (Rangers, free),
Florian Marange (Bordeaux, free),
Jason Puncheon (Southampton, loan),
Jimmy Kebe (Reading, undisclosed),
Jack Hunt (Crystal Palace, undisclosed),
Adrian Mariappa (Reading, undisclosed),
Barry Bannan (Aston Villa, undisclosed),
Cameron Jerome (Stoke, loan)

Plus the Forest player

Compared with the other promoted clubs Cardiff have spent big on individual players. Bit risky if they got injured. I imagine their wages are pretty high too

Hull haven't spent as much but got some players in who I imagine are on big money e.g. the ex-spurs players

We've got more numbers in but looking at that list I wouldn't say there was anyone you would expect to be on big money. Only exception being Chamakh who's on a 1 year deal
