Go on, I'll bite. What kind of transfer rumours were you expecting? I'd take Cotterill any day of the week, he's done well at pretty much any Championship club he's been at and wouldn't cost a fortune, leaving money for elsewhere. If it turns out good, I think he'll be a good acquisition.

I'd rather we went in for a player on the other wing at Birmingham: Damarai Gray - a great player.

In fact, I'd like to see Bruce bring in some good quality younger players, some from a group of the best under-25's around. Whether we can afford them or not (after departures), is another matter...

In the Championship those that fit the criteria, are:
Damarai Gray
Jake Bidwell
Harlee Dean
Moses Odubajo
Andre Gray
Jake Forster-Caskey
Igor Vetokele
Jordan Cousins
Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson
Cyrus Christie
Will Hughes
Johnny Russell
Lasse Vigen Christensen
Dan Burn
Tyrone Mings
Alex Mowatt
Lewis Cook
Britt Assombalonga
Michail Antonio
Danny Batth
Rajiv van La Parra
Nouha Dicko
Benik Afobe

There are also Premier League fringe players that are still young which, if making the step down a league, would be good additions:

Nathaniel Chalobah
Johnny Williams
Barry Bannan
Dwight Gayle
Zeki Fryers
Jack Hunt
Tyias Browning
Nick Powell
Jesse Lingard
Will Keane
Shane Ferguson
Sammy Ameobi
Will Buckley
Liam Bridcutt
Marvin Emnes
Jazz Richards
Kyle Bartley
 
Daryl Murphy looked very strong in the air for ROI against Scotland today and combined well with Brady whose crosses and CKs were brilliant. Looks like Murphy might be just what we need to get on the end of Robbie and Elmo's crosses. He seems a much more physical player than he did a couple of years ago.
 
Whilst Chester is too good for Leicester and should be aiming for a West Ham/Newcastle/ Villa type team, Pearson and demand could sway it.

I thought he looked ****, just as he did against England (Murphy that is, not Brady)

We don't, but it doesn't mean we will be bargain hunting. We spent (assuming my maths is correct and the undisclosed amounts are right) just over £6m in our promotion season and already had the makings of a good Championship side. We're probably going to sell our strikers which should net us a fair amount of money and if you add that to what we already have in terms of a transfer kitty, we should be spending a fair amount, especially if the Allams are serious about going back up again.
