Nothing that I've heard. My guess/hope is that if a player is available and wants to sign for us then we'll sign him whether we already have transfer listed player in that position or not. Having Jubril hasn't prevented us signing Watts after all. Who knows though, maybe it wrinkles things a bit. I just want us to sign someone to take my mind off the England game. Edit - three players isn't it? Okedina, Lankester and May? Have I forgotten someone? Andrew Simper

Andrew I think at least one of them may end up at Gillingham either loan or permanently before the end of the window.

Yes you have forgotten Simper. Injured and mis-diagnosed by the club. Longer recovery did make him the forgotten man. Hope he gets a move and some real game time.

He wasn’t making squads when he was fit in all honesty. But I hope he gets some interest from a decent Nl side. He needs to be playing regularly at his age.

Not league 1 but Jayden Stockley gone to Port Vale. Perhaps they are chucking ££ in League 2 this year

Christ in a handcart. Andrew As someone who is a dyed-in-the-wool traditionalist when it comes to all things football-related, first I'm greeted by the unveiling of next season's away kit and then I read this. They say things come in threes....

It shows how corporate it now is even at third division level, the Disneyfication of Wrexham has just speeded things up. This is just a matter of time. I would expect the first American based in franchise in the EPL before the end of the decade.

I would expect the first American based in franchise in the EPL before the end of the decade. I think Wrexham are almost there! The whole top division is entirely American in every way. I think it's the third most watched league on television there, behind NBA and NFL. They're going to want a bigger cut and English football is run entirely by the market so it's inevitable. It would nearly be funny if an EFL club beat them to the punch. Nearly!

Crawley losing all their best players so I’m confident that’s bottom of the league sorted for the new season.

Intrigued to see what they manage really. Even before losing players they were still sticking with signing players largely from non-league. Not that there's not talent and value to be had there but I dunno, seems a fairly risky strategy in a league that is much harder than the one they came from, even before selling their top-scorer, although I think Orsi's likely to prove to be a one-season wonder (feel free to bookmark this and laugh if he lights it up at Burton, but I'm pretty sceptical he'll make double figures) so that could prove to be shrewd business really. Think it could be a car crash for Crawley this season & I think Lindsey may well jump ship at the first opportunity but I guess we'll see.
Speaking of Burton... 🤷♂️ Genuine wildcard there. Again, their strategy of signing and integrating absolutely loads of players, most of whom have no L1 experience (and some none of English football at all) under a manager who has very limited first-team coaching experience seems... bold. Could all click and be fantastic, but feels more likely to be a total disaster to me.

May leaving Charlton for ‘uddersfield for £750k, would think Ahadme joining them is certain now. They have cash to make better offer than us?

Seems daft money for someone who'll be 31 by the time the season starts. Though I suppose if he scores the goals that gets them promoted it's money well spent.
Anyway yes, if the interest in Ahadme from Charlton is real, then May leaving for that fee should put paid to any tiny flicker of hope from our fans that he might come back here.
