Think it’s unlikely more strikers will come in. On paper we have four plus O’Grady, although none fill me with hope. I reckon we will get one more defender in, even assuming Egert signs. The number 5 shirt hasn’t been assigned.

Didn't the club announce that Vera had been released, then rejoined later? I mean, I don't count him as a new signing, but I thought they had announced him as leaving.

Woods, Zabret, Iacovitti, Mills, Kokos, Azankpo, Wilson and they seem to be including Vera.

Jack Ruddy to Ross County.

Dundalk are demanding a six-figure fee before they'll sell Cameron Dummigan to Grimsby Town. Even if they only get five figures, it makes me think we shouldn't have let him go.

This year’s listening so far:

Moimbe heads for the MLS with Minnesota United.

I can’t quite believe it, but I agree with pretty much all of this. First time for everything!

Slight aside, but I don't think O'Grady and Coke have left yet. Sure we'll hear about those if only from the clubs that pick them up.

Gavin Gunning joins non-league moneybags Billericay Town.

I'm a bit wary of relying on third party sites, but Transfermarkt have a reasonable reputation and list him as having signed for us on a one-year deal starting 2 July. I think his contract expired on 30 June, then he was away with Benin for the AFCON tournament. https://www.transfermarkt.com/desire-segbe-azankpo/profil/spieler/310770

According to this Slovakian site, he's signed for us: https://www.dobrenoviny.sk/c/168367/senica-vstupuje-do-sezony-so-snahou-nadviazat-na-zaver-uplynulej Occasional Benin international, decent (if not spectacular) goalscoring record (40 goals in 118 games) but mostly at a questionable level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Désiré_Segbé_Azankpo

Also, they’re not wearing names on these shirts. I wouldn’t read too much into the numbers yet.

I'm amazed there are any left to sack. Unless of course LB or BB have already been forced to walk the plank.

Youth team goalkeeping coach. Gregory Hartley. Dunno if he's been permanently or temporarily promoted. Edit: he started out in City's academy, played and coached in the US for a few years, mixed with non-league appearances for, I think Atherton, Colne and Salford.

So has Giles Coke appeared in any of the pre-season tour photos or videos? I'm kind of hoping that his absence is for the same reason as O'Grady's.

I reckon Woods will be number one, but even if not Iversen and Ripley hardly had extended first team runs when we picked them up.

Signed for Swansea back when they were in the Premier League, apparently WBA and Sporting Lisbon were after him back then.

Slovenian goalkeeper formerly at Swansea. Not sure if loan or permanent. Club tweeted a teaser photo of a signing, you can read his name on the document.

I knew the collective brains on here would think of more!

It was bundled together with getting Redmond. I read £300k + Ricky for Redmond, not sure what the total value was but £650k sounds about right for the time.

Where does George's fee rank in our list of fees received? Off the top of my head (say £500k as the threshold): Barrett to Villa, £1.7m Bernard to Aberdeen, £1m Gerrard to Everton, £1m Marshall to Ipswich, £750k Edmundson to Rangers, £675k (or so) Fleming to Norwich, £600k Trotman to Preston, £500k Serrant to Newcastle, £500k Henry to Sheffield United, £500k What about biggest fees paid? (same threshold) Olney from Villa, £700k Milligan from Everton, £600k Pointon from City, £600k McDonald from Everton, £500k McCarthy from Bradford, £500k Pedersen from Brann, £500k (I think?)
