According to the press it looks like a done deal. Pretty much one in two...in the Scottish Championship, for the last 3 years and still only 21.
Figures are anywhere between 1 and 2.5 million.
Looks like Vellios will be off for an inflated fee then! Strange to bring in an forward if no one is leaving.
Not a priority signing I'd have thought, but it looks like MW wants everyone in before pre-season. Weird we didn't chuck in Tyler on loan for the year, or Gerry or Lewis.
Personally, I wouldn't sell any of our strikers. If we are nowhere near the play-offs by January (likely), then sell one on and fall within FFP. If we are there or thereabouts. Gamble and go back into FFP, then sell a player or two in the summer. Leeds proved they would be back on track, surely our new QC could work similar lies / logic?

Being linked with some Luton midfielder called Pelly Ruddock. Young lad who was on West Ham's books. Played 100 games for the Hatters.

Undisclosed fee. The Reds are keeping their cards closed to their chest regarding the amount of cash they are spending.

Never heard of him so can't judge this transfer, hope his arrival doesn't mean Vellios is gone, still think he's worth playing.

Vellios didn't appear to be in favour when Warburton arrived. Didn't get much a look in under Brazil either. Wondering if he suffered more than most from a lack of fitness due to the relaxed regime of Montanier. I guess Wa Burton will give them all a chance to impress when they come back for pre season training tomorrow and then decide in a couple of weeks who he wants to move on.

Even under PM he was frozen out after a while.
I had the feeling it was do with politics with Fawaz when the Greek takeover first fell through. If you recall he later rubbished all the transfers, after that it would have been much harder to break back through once the take over appeared back on again. Especially as we'd signed a couple of new options

Yes, I think politics played a part in Vellios being frozen out, but of all the signings made last Summer, I think he proved he was more than capable of doing a good job.
Seeing on Twitter that Forest might still be interested in Pereira, despite not playing him for the second half of the season. Would we like to see him return?

I'm not sure personally, as much as he has promise his disciplinary record is terrible

Would love Hilda back! Loan with an option to buy.
If MW can stop him going mental then brilliant, if he can't, send him back.
He clearly has a passion for the club, sign him up!
