Might be good to keep all these in one place.

Ones that have cropped up so far:

Villa to Barcelona. Interesting forward signing and it looks like they will revert to the Barca of 09 'Eto'o style' rather than Ibrahimovich '10, although Villa has a better all-round game than the African and would probably be my favourite striker in the world right now. So clinical. With Pedro coming though I suspect it is the end of Henry too.

Zigic to Birningham. Could be a great signing and his size will suit the premiership. Shame Kevin Phillips is ancient he would have made a good foil in a 4-4-2. With another 2 or 3 signings Birmingham could be a good bet for a top 8 finish.

Looks as though Scunthorpe's Gary Hooper may be moving on to Celtic for 2.5 million. We had strong links with this player at one point, whilst he was looking to move on from Grays.

What a signing he would have been!

Two good players, two good signings.

Rochdale will miss Dagnall greatly.

Having not been promoted or relegated in well over three decades, I suspect Rochdale will have achieved both within two seasons come May. Their form was falling apart towards the end of last season and this looks like quite a heavy blow.

Agreed both good players, also agree that rochdale will miss dagnall, they still have O'Grady though also it was suprising to see kallum higginbotham had been released by dale, those 3 were vital players in their promotion team and only 1 remains - Intresting
