It looks like the Clayton deal is going through today despite Brighton trying to muscle in. I'm not holding any of the reports against him for delaying his move as he has a right to look at his options as long as when he comes here, he's committed to the cause. With Butterfield going the other way, Clayton's deal works out be a cheap one. His sell on value will be a much bigger one should we get to the premiership and want to offload him.
It would be nice to get Bamford and who ever else is coming in from Chelsea, sooner rather than later along with another striker. I'm really happy with the way Karanka has conducted himself in the transfer market and for once we seem to be putting a team together that looks good on paper as it does on the pitch. I'm quietly confident that we can have a successful season.
