Summer Transfer Window opens Wednesday 14th June, closes Friday 1st September (23.00)
Updated 4th September 2023. That's a wrap for the summer thread

Josh Maja one of the rumours earlier in the summer (I'd you could call it a summer) has signed for west brom.

It's good to see that George Johnson has signed for three years.
The injury is a pity, but CL injuries aren't condemning players to early retirement that they were a few years ago.
Hopefully, with the right treatment, he will come back as good as new.

Must be just tumbleweed in the sports office at the bn today.

It's a good idea to rest before the big kick off.

Looks like a few injuries are on way back.
Toal, Bodvarsson and Iredale could be in contention for Saturday.
Also bus users have had the timetable confirmed today. Getting people in an hour earlier. Will hopefully mean that people are less likely to pitch up 5-10 minutes after kick off.
Noticed that Saturdays match will be the first game I've actually turned up to since Wembley.

Team news from the official site. Come round quick from the Barnsley game. Not so sure about the buses, a long time since I used them and got too expensive plus stuck with their timetable. A bus to the ground from town would be far more useful. Walking up to the beehive the only option.

There's not excitement at the season starting in the Ben is there.
Is Isles so worried he'll be asked to write an article criticising Wanders TV come Monday morning.

At last, I'm off to bed for a few hours.
Do not disturb until it's teams time.

The big day is here. A challenging game ahead of us but I'm going for a win, hopefully with lots of goals for us to start the season with a roar from our supporters.
Our daughter, her husband and their boys arrived in Spain sometime around 3:30 this morning. I and the missus went to bed early so we haven't seen them yet.
Hopefully, they will be tired and won't want to go out this afternoon and decide to stay poolside. That will mean I can watch the game.
I hope to be back on the forum around 3:30 pm Spanish time if not, you will know that I lost the argument.
