Depending on whether or not you count Nathan Trott as a sign

Depending on whether or not you count Nathan Trott as a signing this year or last year, Cardiff, Wrexham and Watford are the only Championship sides yet to make a new signing

Well, Nathan Trott did sign this summer so counts as a signing.

It's a bit like saying depending on whether you count the nine games we lost in the league last season, we didn't lose any games in the league.

I think the World Cup always has an impact. Not many EFL clubs will sign World Cup players but Premier League clubs will and it has a domino effect.

I think we'll be relying on loan signings

We have no new players from the side that went up and have lost Kellyman and Winter so we are currently 2 down on last year and in a higher division. Early days but hopefully we will get a striker, winger, midfielder and full back. Time will tell

I think it'll be a mix of the two, which is what we need. Good Premier League loans are often the best way to add quality.

And then add a few permanent signings to that and we should be good for mid table.
