Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 17:45 - Jul 22 by CateLeBonR | Not based on his performances against us last season obviously. Dabo’s had a bit of a fall from grace since almost getting promoted with Cov a few years ago. |
Nor his performance for Scotland in Euros neither! Worth a punt for a Championship club IMO, unless the cheese has slipped off the cracker or some other reason. |  | |  |

I've read most of his summaries and it's clear that he is very knowledgable. I don't agree with all of his predictions, but most seem a reasonable bet. QPR seem to be 1 of the teams whose prospects are difficult to predict. We could be worse than 18th but, if the new signings and the balance prove to be better we could see an improvement on last season's 15th. |  |

Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 22:26 - Jul 23 with 4100 views | Lblock | Gassama has left Sheff Weds for the Sh1t Rangers for £2.2mill I found this odd as most of their players are walking away for nothing. Maybe something to do with his age? Not a bad player and assume he won’t be replaced as Derek will bag the dosh so I’m good with it. The other thing for me is the price. £2.2mill So……. League One top scorer would be about £3mill plus big sell on in my book |  |

Slap me down but i've come to begrudgingly admire Young over the last 10 years or so. The diving stopped, reinvented himself, moved to Italy and won a title, returned to the PL and still playing at a good level into his 40s. It is hard to not respect someone playing consistently into their 40s. Looks to have a good steady life outside of football as well from what i've seen. that said, a bird shat in his mouth. |  |

I thought Gassama was really decent though and only 21. Would be hard to replace at less than £2 million. |  | |  |

I believe they kept paying the more valuable players to avoid the few (like Gassama) being able to walk away and that fee paid the wages for June. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think on top of everything else, they won't be able to use the slogan; Sheffield Wednesday are an equal opportunities employer. |  | |  |

Agreed - great bit of business... He'd have been a perfect younger model of colback. [Post edited 24 Jul 18:16]

They’ll have paid serious money for him. Exactly the sort of CM we need. |  | |  |

£5m according to the Sun, so it must be right |  | |  |

Same. Ideal for us and we've been in for him before. LB is going to be a problem spot for us as it stands. Derby having a decent summer, they're rising in my 1-24 predictions. |  | |  |

Saw this and my immediate thought was why not use. Derby look to be giving it the gun and I’d say Eustace will have them well safe. Just goes to show what one big transfer sale can do for your squad |  |

Wasn't Beck at Blackburn last season playing under Eustace? Perhaps Derby was his preferred choice for that reason. |  | |  |

Our season preview atm has Sheff Wed, Hull and then one of Preston, Oxford, Charlton. |  | |  |

Oh yes, I forgot about Oxford. I assume they haven't signed any £5m strikers? |  | |  |

The Championship previews I've read so far seem pretty universal on the top five (Ipswich, Southampton, Cov, Sheff Utd, Birmingham) and the bottom three or four (three from Sheff Wed, Hull, Preston, Charlton and Oxford). Closest thing to a punt in ours is putting Millwall sixth and Gab Sutton even beat me to that. |  | |  |

The only reason I might not put them third bottom is it because would basically guarantee a 2-0 defeat and a whole load of them sliding into my DMs. |  | |  |
