Mixed fortunes for our promotion rivals today. Derby spent £10M strengthening their midfield. Middlesbrough brought in a Uruguayan winger (Let's hope it takes him at least a season to find his feet) Vydra to Reading Austin stayed at QPR (our medical team weren't lying) No-one picked up James Wilson or Carlton Cole. I think we still have the best squad.

Let the rest of the championship worry about HULL CITY. Nobody has the overall quality that we do and it wont be long before Robert Snodgrass is back as well. The added bonus will be if/when Jake Livermore can return to the fold. Fingers crossed.
I think a club that nobody has mentioned will be up there this season. Nobody thought that Afc Bournemouth would win the championship last season.
I did, they were unlucky not to make the play offs the season before, Brentford were the surprise package last season.
A few transfers missing from the list overall, but looking at it; Boro haven't strengthened much from last season, given they have also lost Bamford Derby have, especially at the back and in midfield...probably just a matter of time before they pick up Wolves and Ipswich have added so should go well again QPR have kept Austin, so that's 20 goals guaranteed but not too sure how about their squad overall Burnley are going to be solid Down the bottom end; Blackburn look vulnerable but have Rhodes Huddersfield have just lost their best player so could be in trouble Forest don't look too hot and could be bottom 8 Bolton, MK Dons, Rotherham are all going to be down there anyway.
I'd say Derby have the strongest and most complete squad out of all of them. Our squad and QPR's are arguably the best on paper but we have some players under-performing and we still have a huge weakness in the goalkeeping area. Jacob Butterfield is a good signing for Derby. He was the only Huddersfield player that played well and he impressed me. He's energetic, good touch, accurate passer of the ball, agile and can score some great goals from distance with his right foot. If we lost Huddlestone on deadline day, he'd be the first on my list of replacements.
