    In other L1 bits, MK Dons have taken Mikel Miller on trial, winger/wing back whos been at the dogs and Plymouth in recent years. He's worked with Warne before so makes sense. Barnsley have brought in Calum Hudson, a teenage defender who was playing at Guiseley last season. Orient have rejected a £2.5m bid for Ballard from Bristol City. Wimbledon have had a second bid rejected for James Tilley at Wycombe.

    Also, Hull paper is saying that Kasey Palmer has been sold to an unnamed L1 club. You'd assume to Luton but why not just name them if so given he's been on loan there?

    That would be a quality signing

    Think we are pretty stacked in the attacking mid roles though at the min? Cant see it being us. I'd guess it is Luton and they are just delaying it, maybe an MK or something.

    He's been seen a few times around Luton since the end of the season although he does have family nearby apparently.

    Leyton Orient we're trying to get a deal down for experienced DM Isaac Hayden but that's done as they couldn't reach an agreement. He's only 31 but might want to stay down south after his QPR release

    He was at Newcastle for about 8 years, so maybe location not a problem if a Northern club came in for him.

    He ticks the defensive CM who can also play CH box too

    Cos he can't remember the name of the striker we paid a fee for who was good in training.

    He is the guy that refused numerous Jamaicia call ups because he dreamed of playing for England.

    A young player is joining when cleared bt his current club says GA this morning. A permanent deal is done, theres a delay and we arent sure why, but his current club are dealing with other priorities at the minute.

    Parker hints that it's a young midfielder to come in to play alongside Connolly.

    Number 6 is close.....im guessing we are dealing with a PL club and the 6 figures we are offering is chicken feed so its bottom of the pile for them.

    George Abbott at Spurs possibly? Young, CM and made availabel for a rumoured £300k. Spurs certainly busy with other stuff splashing out on Fernandes and Tonali!!!

    “It’s been rumbling on for quite a while,” he said. “It’s still ongoing.

    “Us and the player have agreed and the lad wants to sign as quick as possible. But the club he’s at now are dealing with a lot of stuff so it’s not their biggest priority.

    “It’s not a loan deal, it’s another permanent one with a younger player and we’re trying to get that done ASAP.

    “I envisaged him being in at the start of this week but it’s dragged on. We can’t really put our finger on the reason why.

    “But we’re hopeful we’ll get him very soon and it will be great to get him in the swing of things.”

    Will be a PL club busy splashing millions.

    GA also said he recognises we needed 1 more but that could take time and that could be it for the squad. Will have to take that with a pinch of salt because we need 2 CMs and a RWB by my reckoning. Bare minimum.

    We've always had only two real central midfielders under GA so I can't see him changing now. He'll drop in others of needed and hope the two don't get suspended or injured which we have had luck with tbh

    Weve always had 3 minimum.

    Started last season with 3 accomplished in Patts, Power, Metcalfe and finished with Evans too.

    Promotion season we had Patts, Smallwood and Khela.

    Surely he stays after losing 16 players and 0 signings

    Yeah, pretty sure he's said this sort of thing before about us being just about done and then we've ended up bringing in another 3 or 4. Rod posted a list of our current outfield players yesterday that are aged over 21 and there were 16 of them as things stand. Given we've been pretty much up to the limit by the end of each window GA has overseen so far, I'd say there's a pretty good chance we'll see more incomings than the one or two he's talking about, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's another one or two outgoings either.

    Leigh was playing there with Power for most of the first couple of months.
