Lots of info on ‘The Duke’ including how WBA wouldn’t let him leave and how Robbo told him what a great club we are.

Hoskins may be going out on loan.

Darius is “expected” to sign an improved contract and never wanted to leave despite handing in his transfer request (work that one out).

We had a Czech international –Daniel Pudil – on a trial with a view to a £1m move to us from Slovan Liberec. Aidy has decided not to buy the defender/midfielder but will continue to monitor the situation.

Aidy’s column extols the virtues of having a good youth system, as the transfer market is “like a food chain”.

The Leicester result was a “slap in the face” and our reputation means that everyone is out to beat us. He also says that he didn’t rant and rave at them as there is a time and place for that, and it wasn’t then.

Nothing to suggest we’ll see any new faces today.
