Rumoured that Forest's takeover is done and they will gsign Guedioura and Elokobi for 1m

Blackburn have signed Fabio Nunes and are close to signing Dan Gosling.

Bristol City sign Greg Cunningham from Man City on 4 year deal.

Wayne Bridge on loan to Brighton

Graeme Swann's Cat wrote:Wayne Bridge on loan to Brighton

Great signing for us

Don't think he's close to the player he once was truth be told. Very much on the way down.

Whether hes good enough at this level we'll see

I'd agree with you GSC but at championship level I'm sure he'll be fine, regardless he is a "big name" and could entice other better players to come.

In the same vein that Mackail-Smith got Vicente to be interested in joining

Gregers wrote:In the same vein that Mackail-Smith got Vicente to be interested in joining

More Poyet I'd imagine

Apparently Mackail being a biggish name had something to do with it. Either way:

Bridge - El Abd - Greer - Calderon

Good looking back line there

Jonathan Woodgate signs for Middlesbrough on a free transfer. I'd love to see it work out, but I think Woodgate is really on his last legs now and will end up going the same way as Ledley King next year.

Leeds signing Paul Green is an absolute farce. I barely support them now anyay but I think that might do it. He is absolute shoite!

Hull City have signed 2 Goalkeepers

Ben Amos on season long loan from Man Utd and Eldin Jakupovic on free transfer

Luke Chambers is set to sign for Ipswich on a free today

Butterfield needs to be added to Barnsleys outs

I said possibly >_>

Graeme Swann's Cat ...

looks like we are signing Joel Lynch who's out of contract with you. Thoughts?

Played well last year, composed and gives his all. Not the most technically gifted tho. Can also play LB in a pinch. Wouldve liked to keep :/

Thanks Cat

Forest sign Danny Collins from Stoke

Greg Halford to Forest

Halford is a great swoop for Forest, I said to my mate ages ago I would love us to sign him!

We have confirmed the signings of Paolo Jorge and Edinho Junior to go with our blossoming Portuguese contingent!

Just need a LB to replace Olsson who looks set to leave and a new CB or 2 depending on Dann and we are sorted : )

Dan Harding signs for Forest from Southampton

Yeah, I;ve given up updated the OP >_>

Liking the looks of the new Forest back line taking shape

Solid rather than spectacular is the key

Leeds have signed David Norris and Luke Varney from Portsmouth.

Robert Snodgrass has been sold to Norwich ( )

Snodgrass to Norwich

Hull City have signed free agent Alex Bruce on a 2 year contract

KingKenny7Heaven wrote:Hull City have signed free agent Alex Bruce on a 2 year contract

I thought Alex Bruce had tried to avoid signing for his dad's clubs after people begrudged him for the favouritism he got at Birmingham.

Watford have signed 7 players.

Manuel Almunia
Fitz Hall

Then six season long loans from Udinese I think.

It said in the interview in the local paper that Bruce jnr now feels he has grown as a player having had 3 years at Ipswich and 2 at Leeds so he thinks people can judge him on his play on the field rather then that hes playing for his Dad plus he says he has grown up and can take any snipes about now . Once Hobbs and Chester are both fit i dont think he will be first choice anyway to be honest but he does give cover across the back line .

Some more deals that have gone through :-
CARDIFF - No Lying Kim frm Cerezo.
MIDDLESBROUGH - George Friend frm Doncaster.
BURNLEY - Sam Voakes frm Wolves.
LEEDS - Jamie Ashdown frm Portsmouth.
Andy Gray frm Barnsley.
Luke Carney frm Portsmouth.
LEICESTER - Zambia Whitbread frm Norwich.
BRISTOL CITY - Tom Heaton frm Cardiff.
Paul Anderson frm Forest.

No Lying Kim

Really?

Bo Kyung Kim, bloody auto correct.

Haha

Hull City could be about to sign their most important player so far by convincing Robert Koren to stay .

Andrew Crofts to Brighton from Norwich on a 3 year deal

heider helguson from QPR to Cardiff

Some other deals :-
HUDDERSFIELD - Keith Southern frm Blackpool.
SHEFF WED - Rhys McCabe frm Rangers.
CHARLTON - Salim KerKar frm Rangers.
LEICESTER - Anthony Knockeart.
DERBY - James O'Connor frm Doncaster.
MIDDLESBROUGH - Mustapha Carayol frm Bristol Rovers.

We have signed Dickson Etuhu from Fulham for a reported £1M.

4 year contract for the 30 year old who is a good solid player.

Does seem a rather long deal though I have to say...

Blackburn have made some decent signings. Really bad luck to see Leon Best get that awful injury.
