A former Sheffield United and Fulahm midfielder says he is “forever grateful” to sign for a Scottish Premiership club last month after preparing for enforced retirement while Luton Town's boss has opened up on their failed deadline day move for a Blades’ midfielder.
A former Middlesbrough star, who left the club one deadline day, has bid an emotional farewell to the club and its supporters and an ex-Hull City gaffer is being reportedly being considered for the vacancy at League One Sunderland.
Coventry City are planning key contract talks after a “nervous” transfer deadline day while Blackburn Rovers boss Tony Mowbary has explained why they didn’t sign a new striker last month despite having the chance.
Speaking of Rovers, Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur are said to be keen on one of their teenage starlets while a Stoke City loanee who joined them last month has intimated that he would be keen on a permanent move to the Potters.
Finally, a Bristol City striker says he “entertained” the idea of leaving the club after a deadline day bid came in for him from Cardiff City, but is now fully focused on the remainder of the season with the Robins after that move failed to happen.
