    But he isn't first choice here anymore ...............so in all honesty would you rather be 2nd choice miles away from your money on less money ...........or 3rd choice at home all the time on more money.

    OK us telling us what he should do but only a loon at his age would turn down such an offer.

    And it's an absolute result for City tbh.

    Frees up cash to be spent elsewhere in the squad just as the PL/CH loans are starting to happen.

    Big up to Big Sam, been a fine servant to the club.

    Very professional, too, I'm assuming he's going to Watford with at least one eye on the coaching side of things, pretty sure many young keepers would benefit from his experience and know how on how to stay so consistently solid between the sticks.

    Best of luck to Sam with the rest of his career and beyond; a very likeable bloke and a very good freebie (or nominal fee).

    A promotion and 4th place finish in the league above in his 2 full seasons, despite not the best last 6 months he'll be remembered fondly.

    Back-up !
    There were better options on the PFA list without even knowing who else might be around.
    Now this ‘noise’ is out of the way, let’s focus on that CM that we surely need.

    I would imagine McCraken will now get the No1 shirt?

    It looks like all EFL clubs have to submit their full 22 man squad (25 in championship) within 24 hours of the window closing. Whether that can include changes to squad numbers is not very clear. I'd imagine if it isn't possible, we'll have a season with no number 1 as I just can't see them giving it to Dawson.

    Lewis was here a year and had his head turned by Barnsley and coulsnt wait to leave for Carlisle.

    He didnt love us, he just looks back on his time here with fondness because its the only period of success in his career.

    I wouldn’t even say being beaten play off semi finalists is a success.
    He cost us that 2nd leg up there with his day dreaming.

    Success as established as a number 1 in a competetive team

    Not gone through yet
    Is his agent demanding £15k per week, as he will now be a championship goalie
