    Quantuma reduced the width so it was cheaper to mow.

    We still have 6 and a half weeks of the transfer window to go, and we only have a few more spots to fill in the first team squad. Given the position we came from in administration, I think the most impressive feature of our transfer window is the speed at which we’ve got our business done. Being able to get the group together for a number of friendlies should have a big impact, and help us make a quicker start than if we were still scouting the market in late August (obviously)!
    The other way to look at that is we still have 6 and a half weeks to fend off advances for players we want to keep…but I keep myself happy by pretending that if anyone wanted to leave they would have done so by now!
    Another pleasing feature is that only one of our loan spots has been taken up so far. I expected us to lean heavily on the loan market- partly due to financial restrictions, but also we are a VERY attractive proposition to a Prem academy looking for somewhere to send their top talent on loan (facilities, playing decent football, experienced squad, and of course top support every week- home and away). Loan moves tend to happen a bit later, I think, so maybe there is more to come there.
    Finally, I hope there will be at least a handful more brought into the U21 squad. We’ve got such a good track record of finding discarded gems in the past few years, so surely it’s a case of rinse and repeat. I’ve long said that we should be sending more of our top academy prospects on loan, if we want them to develop more quickly. No idea if the budget allows for that many players, but I really hope that’s where we can get to in the next few years.

    I think this is a bit of a coup for Derby. 
    I know he looks about twelve, but he didn't play like it on Satirday. He was strong and skillful.

    Good comments from Rosenior;
    "Why we were really interested in Kwaku is that he has been a captain of Manchester City's youth teams. He is very highly respected there in terms of his character.
    "But also in the style of play that I want to implement here is quite similar, structurally, to the way Manchester City play. Kwaku with his understanding and his development brings a lot of experience in terms of what I am asking the players to do here.
    "He fits in like a glove in terms of that right-back position. When we talk about developing players, that area is somewhere I want to strengthen with a more senior player, but the idea for Kwaku is to develop, learn and grow and become of huge value to the football club. I am delighted he has joined."

    It looks like Oduroh.
    I think we can read into the fact that he's being given the whole 'teaser' treatment.
    Suggests he's for the first team as Nunn didn't get that.

    Haha yeah, I ran with the black/white training tops and had some fun with the squares.
    They have been fun, its been good to get back to talking about football again and have players coming into the club rather than the other crap weve had to put up with in the past few years and players leaving on a regular basis.

    Perhaps the comms team are just basic after all.  Not the wizards of foreshadowing we thought them to be ?
    Side note: I think these reveals have been pretty fun.

    I'm beginning to think the three squares, the three black squares (with a hint of white - thanks @Hanny) the three black squares (with a hint of white) of increasing size didn't actually mean anything significant at all...

    Just watched the Loach interview, spoke well as they all have, sounds like he understands he is here more than likely as backup and to play a part in supporting the goalkeeping group. 
    Leigh Curtis suggesting we’re in for another keeper probably confirms Loach as third choice.

    Yeah just watched it, spoke well, like that he’s got connections with people already here (as others have, will help the squad gel quickly), Stearman played a big part in getting him here too! Has five promotions on his cv, I know a lot of people want to see some youth added but I think the experience and know how of these new additions could be massive for us this season ?
