"Alex Palmer, who is five years Griffiths’ senior, is being eyed by Lincoln boss Michael Appleton, who had him on loan last season, so Albion have some calls to make. Proceed with Griffiths and retain Button, or bring in another experienced alternative head? Or go all out and replace Johnstone with another first choice stopper?"

Phenomenal bit of business if we sell him.
Was an unknown quantity four/five weeks ago, so kudos to the management team for signing Wright in the first place.
Although to be honest, I wouldn’t be too sad about Wright being sold if his replacement is Palmer.

Didn't we have a Summer Transfer Thread last year?
That was then.

My summer rumour/question mark is that I think Morgan Whittaker signed on loan very much with the plan of him signing permanently for next year.
He had that good start, then a few very poor games and now we're starting to see flashes again albeit maybe not the impact we had hoped for.
What do people think? Here next year?

Assuming the finances are right, absolutely. Could be a great asset with a full pre-season under Appleton behind him.
Having said that, I’m sure him getting booed by his home crowd when coming on as sub the other week will really encourage him to sign permanently.

I'd have him in a shot.

There’s definitely a player in there, and as stated prior, with a full length close season, and with a more stable team around him, we’d be more likely to see the player that turned up for his debut.

I’ve had my doubts about him, and said so previously. I agree with WellingtonImp that there is a player in their that could be brought out given a pre-season and a full season under MA. He’s shown some genuine glimpses of quality at times - he could be a really good player if he can improve two or three basic aspects of his game, eg defending as part of a team, his pace could be better, looking for/gambling on a quick through ball, and the way he attacks the box (or not).

Money down the back of the sofa for a Championship club I think, they've signed three forward players (two starters for more money than Whittaker) since then under the new manager and he was kept to challenge for a place at the start of the season then couldn't even get in the match day squad after a few months.
Still paying him a wage, think they could be tempted to cut their losses if there is interest.
I thought he played well on Saturday. Probably set his own bar too high but starting so well
