Re: Next Transfer Window

I can see us signing Obafemi and O’Hare (if he has proven he is fit again). They’re clearly the two identified. Lowton needs to go, he’s far, far too good to not even be making the bench in the Championship and we have loads of good depth there. Long we would struggle to shift so I imagine he will b...
