    Thought they were all undisclosed deals? Can't see any figures mentioned.

    Yes we brought them but they never announced how much for, I said around 1.5m going by Italian reports at the time. But with have spent money is my point <ok>

    <ok> all in all I'd say it's looking a lot better than this time last year, Delort and CB Sorennsen look like they're coming in also

    Long time since I've looked forward to a season but am really curious to see our progress over next twelve months

    It's not very often a second tier club realises anything in the region of £11m. It would have been nice to reinvest it all in players but using it to go towards buying the ground back is absolutely the right thing to do in our situation.

    Plus we have an owner who is happy to invest some of his wealth in the playing squad anyway, which again we haven't had at any point since we were relegated from the Prem.

    It's already becoming apparent that we have an owner who has more experience at running a football club than probably any other in the country.

    Happy with the progress so far and it's very early days. Yes we're not there yet with the squad right now but we were never expected to be just yet. This isn't the season Cellino expects us to be challenging so if we're anything near that this season then we're definitely on the right track.

    Reports in Italy stated Bianchi was a free transfer, he was into the last year of his contract and had continuously been loaned out. Not that his fee matters as he seems a class above what we have <ok>

    He was training with us a week before we signed him, if there was a fee involved the parent club would never have permitted him to do that.

    Reports in Italy said he was free at the time, hence why he was training with us before we signed him. If you believe we paid a fee fine, if you read somewhere £500k you did well to spot it and I won't argue with you <ok>
